What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -3) and has a slope of -5?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<h2>A) y = -5x - 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point on a line

We have the slope m = -5, and the point (-1, -3). Substitute:

y-(-3)=-5(x-(-1))\\\\y+3=-5(x+1)

Convert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

y+3=-5(x+1)          <em>use the distributive property</em>

y+3=-5x-5            <em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

y=-5x-8

Zahara mixed 5 quarts of dry ingredients and 2 quarts of water to make a
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Zahara need to add 4 quarts of water to keep the  consistency the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount of dry ingredients in quarts

y -----> the mount of water in quarts

we know that

Batch 1

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{2}

Isolate variable y

y=\frac{2}{5}x ----> equation A

Batch 2

For x=10

substitute in the equation A and solve for y

y=\frac{2}{5}(10)=4

The ratio batch 2 is \frac{10}{4}

therefore

Zahara need to add 4 quarts of water to keep the  consistency the same

A point on the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is shifted about 13.5 ft horizontally compared to the tower's base. To the neare
madam [21]

Answer:

4.15^0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Leaning Tower of Pisa is shifted, P = 13.5 ft

Height of Leaning Tower of Pisa, B = 186 ft

Now, degree of tilt of the tower from vertical

\tan \theta = \dfrac{P}{B}

\tan \theta = \dfrac{13.5}{186}

\tan \theta = 0.0725

\theta = 4.15^\circ

Hence, angle of tilt is equal to 4.15^0.
