rearrange into the form y = mx + b

subtract 6x from both sides of the equation

7y = - 6x + 14

divide all terms by 7

y = - $\frac{6}{7}$ x + 2 → in slope- intercept form

Answer : The slope-intercept form of give equation is, $y=-\frac{6}{7}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that the slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

where,

m and b are the real numbers and y and x are intercepts.

m represent the slope of a line.

As we are given the expression of equation.

6x + 7y = 14

Now rearranging the equation according to the slope-intercept form, we get:

$7y=-6x+14$

$y=-\frac{6}{7}x+\frac{14}{7}$

$y=-\frac{6}{7}x+2$

Thus, the slope-intercept form of give equation is, $y=-\frac{6}{7}x+2$

Schach [20]

Answer:

D. 160

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

In this question:

For each 3 white carnations, 5 yellows are needed, which leaves us with 8 total carnations. So for 60 white, the total is:

3 white - 8 total

60 white - x total

$3x = 60*8$

Dividing both sides by 3

$x = 20*8 = 160$

The correct answer is given by option D.

Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60

TEA [102]

Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is increasing is 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.

Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.

Let z represent the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

z² = x² + y²

To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes

2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1

One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that

dx/dt = 32

dy/dt = 60

Distance = speed × time

Since t = 0.5 hour, then

x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles

y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles

z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900

z = √1156

z = 34 miles

Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60

68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600

68dz/dt = 4624

dz/dt = 4624/68

dz/dt = 68 mph

plain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (Select all that apply.) f(x) = x2 − 2x x2 − 4 if x ≠ 2 1 if x =

ElenaW [278]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\dfrac{x^2-2x}{x^2-4}&,if\ \ x\neq 2 \\ 1&,if\ \ x=2\end{matrix}\right.$

We have to explain that why the function is discontinuous at x=2

We know that if function is continuous at x=a then LHL=RHL=f(a).

$f(x)=\frac{x(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}=\frac{x}{x+2}$

LHL=Left hand limit when x <2

Substitute x=2-h

where h is small positive value >0

$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2-h}{2-h+2}$

$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2-h}{4-h}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Right hand limit =RHL when x> 2

Substitute

x=2+h

$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2+h}{2+h+2}=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2+h}{4+h}$

$=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

LHL=RHL= $\frac{1}{2}$

f(2)=1

$LHL=RHL\neq f(2)$

Hence, function is discontinuous at x=2
