We know that the slope is -5, so:

y = -5x + b

Input (1, 2)

2 = -5 + b

b = 7

So:

y = -5x + 7

You are using the equation:

y = mx + b

You need to find "m" and "b".

"m" is the slope, "b" is your y-intercept(when x = 0)

For the equation of the line to be parallel to the given equation, the slopes have to be the SAME. The slope of the given line is -5, so the parallel line's slope is also -5. (m = -5)

y = mx + b

y = -5x + b

To find b, you plug in the point (1,2) into the equation

y = -5x + b

2 = -5(1) + b

2 = -5 + b Add 5 on both sides to get "b" by itself

2 + 5 = -5 + b + 5

7 = b

Your equation is:

y = -5x + 7

Factors of 4x^3-14x^2+12x

IRISSAK [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x³ - 14x² + 12x

= 2x[2x² - 7x + 6]

= 2x[(2x-3)(x-2)]

= 2x(2x-3)(x-2)

Math grades assignment unit test part 2 adding and subtracting rational numbers?

Katena32 [7]

Answer: When we add or subtract rational numbers that have the same denominator, we add or subtract only the numerators. The denominators stay the same. When we add or subtract rational numbers with unlike denominators, we need to change the rational numbers to equivalent rational numbers that have the same denominators, before we find the sum or difference.

Find the tenth term of the geometric sequence, given the first term and common ratio.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$a_{10}=\dfrac{1}{128}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the geometric series:

$a_1=4\\ \\r=\dfrac{1}{2}$

The nth term of the geometric sequence can be calculated using formula

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

In your case, n = 10, then

$a_{10}\\ \\=4\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-1}\\ \\=4\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^9\\ \\=2^2\cdot \dfrac{1}{2^9}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{2^{9-2}}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{2^7}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{128}$

Alyssa took a math test with 20 questions and she answered 16 questions correctly. In order get an A, she needs to answer at lea

ElenaW [278]

A. Alyssa did not get an A on the math test but rather a B- due to only getting 16 out of the 20 problems right. This can be found out by dividing the amount correct over the total amount of problems.

B. In order for Alyssa to get an A or 90% on her math test she would have had to get two more questions right to have a score of 18 out of 20.

C. In order to figure this question out you have to think that with every incorrect answer that Jessie answered she got three correct along with the one incorrect. By going with that information it can be figured that Jessie's score is 15 correct answers and 5 incorrect information if you go by the ratio 3:1 then go up tell the sides equal up to a total of 20 after being added. So Jessie's score again was 15 out of 20.
