I think it is supposed to be set up in y=mx+b form so it should have been y=2/3x-5.... but the slope would be 2/3

Answer:

Slope = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line represented by the equation y=2/3-5x

$y=\frac{2}{3} -5x$

To find slope of a line we use equation y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

lets write the equation in the form of y=mx+b

$y=-5x+\frac{2}{3}$

the number before x is the slope

so Slope = -5

A tablet weighs 1.23 pounds. What is its weight written as a mixed number?

garik1379 [7]

If a tablet weighs 1.23 pounds, the weight written as a mixed number would be, 1 as the whole number and 23 is in the hundreds place, so you would write, 1 and 23/100.

Why is ac smaller than ad if they both look very close

kakasveta [241]

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

We start out by observing that Triangles MKR & ACD are similar or proportional

$\begin{gathered} MK=21;AC=\text{?} \\ MR=24;AD=28\frac{4}{5} \\ KR=CD=\text{?} \end{gathered}$

We will solve for the missing side by using the similar triangle theorem. This is shown below:~

$\begin{gathered} \Delta MKR\approx\Delta ACD \\ \frac{MK}{AC}=\frac{MR}{AD} \\ \frac{21}{AC}=\frac{24}{28\frac{4}{5}} \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ 24\cdot AC=28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21 \\ AC=\frac{28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21}{24}=25\frac{1}{5} \\ AC=25\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$

What is the value of y if y = |– 5|?<br><br> explain how you would get the answer step by step

Andrews [41]

Answer:

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 5 because that sign around the -5 is the absolute value sign. What the absolute value sign does is it measures the distance from 0 the number is. Since the number -5 is 5 units away from the number 0, then y=5.
