What is the slope for 2x-1=-3y

dexar [7]

Answer:

The slope is -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is recommended to solve for 'y' variable the equation given, this means, leave the 'y' variable alone in one side of the equation. Doing that, leaves us the following:

$y=\frac{-2}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}$

This is the general equation of a line: $y=mx+b$ where 'm' is the slope (by comparison), thus We have the desired result

Find the distance between the two points and simplest rational form (3,-4) (6,-7))

pychu [463]

Answer:

$D = 3\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,-4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (6,-7)$

Required

Determine the distance between the two points

Distance (D) is calculated as:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Substitute values for x's and y's

$D = \sqrt{(6 - 3)^2 + (-7 - (-4))^2}$

$D = \sqrt{(6 - 3)^2 + (-7 +4)^2}$

$D = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$D = \sqrt{9+9}$

$D = \sqrt{18}$

Express as 9 * 2

$D = \sqrt{9*2}$

Split:

$D = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}$

$D = 3*\sqrt{2}$

$D = 3\sqrt{2}$

A motorcycle cost $12,000 when it was purchased. The value of a motorcycle decreases by 6% each year. Find the rate of decay eac

dalvyx [7]

the rate of decay each month can calculated using the following formula:

6%/year × 1 year/(12 months) = 0.5%/month
0.06 x 1/12 = 0.005/month
So the 0.5% is the right answer.
I hope it helped.
