SpyIntel [72]3 years ago
4 0
Equation
-4x + 16 = -116

solve for x
-4x + 16 = -116

subtract 16 to both sides
-4x + 16 - 16 = -116 - 16

simplify
-4x = -132

divide -4 to both sides
-4x/-4 = -132/-4

simplify
x = 33

answer: the number is 33

Find the equation (in terms of x ) of the line through the points (-2,5) and (3,4)<br> y=
Alja [10]

Answer:

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points;

(-2,5) and (3,4)

Find:

Equation of slope

Computation:

y = mx + b

5 = m(-2) + b

5 = -2m + b .......... Eq1

4 = m(3) + b

4 = 3m + b .......... Eq2

Eq2 - Eq1

-1 = 5m

m = -1/5

5 = -2m + b

5 = -2(-1/5) + b

5 = 2/5 + b

b = 23/5

y = mx + b

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

What is the location of the point on the number line that is 3/5 of the way from a=2 to b=17
makkiz [27]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance that a is to b is b-a=17-2=15.

The line segment from a=2 to b=17 has length 15.

We need to know what is 3/5 of 15.

3/5 of 15 means what is 3/5 times 15?

(3/5)(15)=3(3)=9

So this means we are looking to make a line segment that is 9 units from 2 which is 2 to 11.

So 11 is 3/5 the way from a=2 to b=17.

Let's check from 2 to 11 that is a length of 9 and from 2 to 17 that is a length of 15.

Is 9/15 equal to 3/5?

Yes, 9/15 can be reduced to 3/5.
