Graph a line with a slope of -2/5 that contains the point (-3,5)

kotykmax [81]

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}$

Further explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line first to graph the line.

The general form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

$y=mx+b$

Given

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

Putting the value of slope in the equation

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the point (-3,5) in equation

$5=-\frac{2}{5}(-3)+b\\5=\frac{6}{5}+b\\5-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=\frac{25-6}{5}\\b=\frac{19}{5}$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}$

The graph is made by using online graphing tool Desmos.

Answer:

the percent reduction is 33.6% and the number of people who were issued a parking ticket are 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last month in the village of 125 people were issued a parking ticket.

This month only 83 people were issued one.

Now, to find the percent reduction from this month to last month and the number of people who were issued a Parking ticket.

So, the reduction of the number of people who were issued a Parking ticket from this month to last month are:

125 people - 83 people = 42 people.

Thus, 42 people reduction from this month to last month.

Now, to get the percent reduction:

$\frac{42}{125}\times 100.$

$=\frac{4200}{125}$

$=\ 33.6\%$

Therefore, the percent reduction is 33.6% and the number of people who were issued a parking ticket are 42.

What is x given ABC~DBE. Show your work

alexandr1967 [171]

x = 37.5 (or) $\frac{75}{2}$

Solution:

Given $\triangle A B C \sim \triangle D B E$

AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x

To find the value of x:

Property of similar triangles:

If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

$$\frac{BE}{BC} =\frac{DE}{AC}$

$$\frac{x}{25+x} =\frac{30}{50}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

$50x=30(25+x)$

$50x=750+30x$

Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.

$20x=750$

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get

x = 37.5 (or) $\frac{75}{2}$

Hence the value of x is 37.5 or $\frac{75}{2}$ .
