B.) y=3x
The slope of a given line is defined by <em>y=mx+b</em>, where b is the y-intercept (the point at which the line crosses the y-axis) and m is the slope (rise/run). We see that the y-intercept is 0 (because the line hits the y-axis at 0) and the slope is 3 (rise=3 and run=1, so 3/1=3).

Answer:
x=5 twice
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-10x+25=0
multiply the coefficient of x^2 and the last term
1X25=25
find two numbers you can multiply to get 25 and add to get -10
-5 + (-5)=-10 the middle term
replace -10x with -5x -5x and solve the equation
x^2-5x-5x+25=0
factorise by grouping
x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0
(x-5)(x-5)=0
Either x-5=0,x=5 or x-5=0,x=5
Therefore x=5 twice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that
1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles
a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.
Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.
Let y = the number of miles travelled.
Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,
y = kx
If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means
28 = 1×k
k = 28
So y = 28x
b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.
x = 3.7
y = 28x = 28×3.7
y = 103.6 miles
Answer:
(-3, -4).
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + y = 8
x - 5y = 17 Multiply this by 4:
4x - 20y = 68 Add this to the first equation:
-19y = 76
y = 76/-19
y = -4.
Plug this into the second equation:
x - 5(-4) = 17
x = 17 - 20
x = -3.
CHECK this result in equation 1:
-4(-3) + -4 = 8
12 - 4 = 8
8 = 8 <------ OK.
