The independent variable of an equation is x, or something u can change. in linear equations, for example, it is y=3x+4. and  x is the independent variable cause most of the time u will plug in or substitute a number for x.

Find the equation of a line that passes through (0,0) that is perpendicular to 2x+3y=-6
Dovator [93]

The slope-intercept form of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Convert 2x + 3y = -6 to the slope-intercet form:

2x+3y=-6         <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>

3y=-2x-6         <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-2

Let k:y=m_1x+b_1 and l:y=m_2x+b_2

l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}

We have m_1=-\dfrac{2}{3}

Therefore

m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-\frac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{2}

We have the equation of a line:

y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+b

Put the coordinates of the point (0, 0) to the equation:

0=\dfrac{3}{2}(0)+b

0=b\to b=0

Answer: \boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{2}x}

A botanist transplanted a plant that
KengaRu [80]

Linear equation of plant height is h = (1/2)w + 3

Given:

Height of experimental plant = 3cm

Average growth = 0.5 cm per week

Find:

Linear equation of plant height

Computation:

Given;

h = Plant height

w = number of weeks

So,

Plant height = Height of experimental plant + (Average growth)(number of weeks)

h = 3 + (0.5)(w)

h = (1/2)w + 3

Option "J" is the correct answer to the following question.

In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati
umka21 [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3.61 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The bird starts 50 feet in the air, so will come down to a height of 40 feet after 3.61 seconds.

We want to solve h = 40.

  40 = -16t^2 +55t +50

  16t^2 -55t -10 = 0

  t = (55 +√(55^2 -4(16)(-10)))/(2(16)) = (55 + √3665)/32 ≈ 3.61060

The bird will be 40 ft above the ground the first time after about 3.61 seconds.
