Answer:
m = 2/3
b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
x and y are points on the graph.
m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.
Isolate "y". This means separating it from the other numbers.
-2x +3y = -9
-2x + 2x +3y = -9 + 2x Add 2x to both sides
3y = 2x - 9
3y/3 = 2x/3 - 9/3 Divide both sides by 3
y = 2x/3 - 9/3 Simplify
y = (2/3)x - 3
Think about which numbers and "m" and "b" now that the equation is in y = mx + b. Include the plus and minus signs.
m = 2/3
b = -3
Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense
If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem
a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3
Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)
So the answer is 2
First, find a common denominator (the bottom number) Then add the tops as usual. Four and five have a common denominator of 20 so: 8/20+5/20=13/20
Use trigonometry to solve for x.
The tangent function is defined to be opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
tan(78) = x/10
tan(78)(10) = x
47.0463010948 = x
We now round off to two decimal places. In other words, we round off to the nearest tenths.
47.05 = x
Done!
