Y=3x+12 positive or negative

Mathematics
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = -4 thus negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x + 12 = 0

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 from both sides:

3 x + (12 - 12) = -12

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 - 12 = 0:

3 x = -12

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 3 x = -12 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-12)/3

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

3/3 = 1:

x = (-12)/3

Hint: | In (-12)/3, divide 12 in the numerator by 3 in the denominator.

12/3 = (3×4)/3 = 4:

Answer: x = -4

The ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 33 to 22. How many dogs are at the shelter if there is a total of 3030 animals
Elena-2011 [213]
D : c = 33 : 22
where d is the number of dogs and c is the number of cats;
and: d + c = 3030
33 c = 22 d  / : 11
3 c = 2 d
From the other equation: c = 3030 - d
3 * ( 3030 - d ) = 2 d
9090 - 3 d = 2 d
5 d = 9090
d = 9090 : 5
d = 1818
Answer: There are 1818 dogs in the shelter.

What is the equation of the directrix of the parabola given by the equation y2 = -24x?
erma4kov [3.2K]

The equation of the directrix of the parabola given is x = 6, Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Directrix of a Parabola ?</h3>

A parabola is a U shaped curve whose all point are at same distnace from a  point called as focus and a line called as Directrix .

The equation of the parabola given is

y² = -24x

When the standard equation of parabola is

 (y - k)² = 4p (x - h),

where the focus is (h + p, k) and the directrix is x = h - p.

here h = 0

p = -24/4 = -6

x =  0 - (-6)

x = 6

Therefore Option D is the correct answer.
