Write the equation of the line given an x -intercept of 10 and y -intercept of 5.

Mathematics

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the y-intercept (0, 5) to the x-intercept (10,0), x increases by 10 units while y decreases by 5 units.  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -5 / 10 = -1/2.

Since we know both the slope and the y-intercept of this line, let's use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:  y = mx + b.

Substituting -1/2 for m and 5 for b, we get:

y = (-1/2)x + 5

Can you fine the cube root of a negative number? If so, is it positive or negative? Explain your answer.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Yes, you can find the cube root of a negative number. The answer will be negative!

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: Find the cube root of -27

We know that a cube root is a number multiplied by itself 3 times (NOT MEANING THE NUMBER TIMES 3)

For example, The cube root of 27 positive is 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

But if we are using a negative number: It is really different because we got to know the rules.

The setup: -3 x -3 x -3 = -27

If we started with -3 x -3 first we know that a negative times a negative equals positive so the answer will be 9 positive, then we have this equation left:

9 x -3 = -27

The rule with this is a number times a negative is negative, so the answer of the question "Find the cube root of -27 is -3"
