A line passes through the (1, -6) and has a slope of 5. write an equation for this line

1 answer:

4 0

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...
y = m(x -h) +k

Your line's equation can be written as
y = 5(x -1) -6

This can be simplified to slope-intercept form
y = 5x -11
or standard form
5x -y = 11

3 (3w − 4) = −20<br> Solve for w, please

Alborosie

Answer:

$\boxed {x = -\frac{8}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $w$ :

$3(3w - 4) = -20$

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u>:

$3(3w - 4) = -20$

$9w - 12= -20$

-Add both sides by $12$ :

$9w - 12 + 12 = -20 + 12$

$9w = -8$

-Divide both sides by $9$ :

$\frac{9w}{9} = \frac{-8}{9}$

$\boxed {x = -\frac{8}{9}}$

Therefore, the value of $w$ is $-\frac{8}{9}$ .

Sami's square yard needs to be fenced to keep her dog, Sophie, home. Her yard is 400 square feet. How much fencing does she need

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: The answer is 1,600.
Explanation: since her back yard is a square that means it has 4 sides, and her yard is 400 sq ft. So you multiply 400 by 4 which equals 1,600. I haven’t done this in a long time so I’m not positive. But that should be it.
