Find The slope of the line described by x+2y=8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Slope = m = \frac{-1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in  slope-intercept form  is.

y = mx + b   ----->(eq 1)  

∴ m is slope

x+2y=8

subtract x from both sides.

x - x +2y=  - x + 8

2y=  - x + 8

divide - 2 on both sides

\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{ - x + 8}{2}

y = \frac{ - x}{2} + \frac{8}{2}

y = \frac{ - 1}{2}x + 4 ----->(eq 2)  

By comparing (eq 1) and (eq 2)  

m = \frac{-1}{2}

Slope = m = \frac{-1}{2}

Firdavs [7]
You need to work out the area so

Area of a rectangle is l x b

So

A= l x b
A= 8 x 4
A= 32

Therefor 32 cubic feet of dirt is needed

Suppose you hit a fly ball with an initial upward velocity of 20 feet per second. Which of the following equations would be a re
baherus [9]
A=g≈-32

v=⌠a dt  since a≈-32

v=-32t+C, where C is the initial velocity, which we are told is 20 ft/s

v=-32t+20

h=⌠v dt

h=-32t^2/2+20t+C, where C is the initial height, so what is a reasonable initial height?  How about 3 ft since we are swinging a bat around maybe our waist level... maybe :P

h=-16t^2+20t+3

Your choices may have made a different assumption about the initial height of course but you did not show your choices, but certainly it will be:

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+hi, where hi is the initial height in feet.

This of course ignores air resistance and flight dynamics of a spinning ball with seams, which will make a significant difference in real life :)

Simplify:2 1/3(4 1/4÷2)
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

4\frac{23}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

2\frac{1}{3}(4\frac{1}{4}\div 2)

We convert to improper fraction to get:

\frac{7}{3}(\frac{17}{4}\div 2)

We now deal with the parenthesis by multiplying with the reciprocal of 2.

\frac{7}{3}(\frac{17}{4}\times \frac{1}{2} )

This gives:

\frac{7}{3}(\frac{17}{8})

We multiply to get:

\frac{7}{3}(\frac{17}{8})

This simplfies to:

\frac{119}{24}

We write as mixed number

4\frac{23}{24}
