-4 times a number plus 29

This table gives a few (x,y) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane.(34, -52), (51,-65), (68, -78).What is the y-intercept of t

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(0,-26)

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form:

1. The slope of the line is

$\dfrac{-65-(-52)}{51-34}=-\dfrac{13}{17}$

2. The equation of the line is

$y-(-52)=-\dfrac{13}{17}(x-34)\\ \\y+52=-\dfrac{13}{17}x+26\\ \\y=-\dfrac{13}{17}x-26$

Now, find the y-intercept, substitute x = 0:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{17}\cdot 0-26\\ \\y=-26$

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–5, –1) and (10, –7) is y + 7 = (x – 10). What is the stan

torisob [31]

The point slope form of the line which passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math 2x+5y=-15\\\end{minispace}}$ i.e., $\fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option C\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

It is given that line passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ .

The objective is to determine the point slope form of the line which passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ .

The options given are as follows:

Option A: 2x-5y=-15

Option B: 2x-5y=-17

Option C: 2x+5y=-15

Option D: 2x+5y=-17

Consider the point $(-5,-1)$ as $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(10,-7)$ as $(x_{2},y_{2})$ .

Slope of a curve is defined as the change in the value of $y$ with respect to change in value of $x$ .

The slope of the line is calculated as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}$

To obtain the value of slope substitute the value of $x_{1},y_{1},x_{2},y_{2}$ in the above equation.

$\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{-7-(-1)}{10-(-5)}\\&=\dfrac{-6}{15}\\&=\dfrac{-2}{5}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{-2}{5}\\\end{minispace}}$

The general way to express the equation of a line in its point slope form is as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}$

To obtain the point slope form of the equation of the line substitute the value of $m$ , $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ in the above equation.

$\begin{aligned}(y-(-1))&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x-(-5))\\(y+1)&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x+5)\\5y+5&=-2x-10\\5y+2x&=-15\end{aligned}$

From the above calculation it is concluded that the point slope form the equation of a line is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math 5y+2x=-15\\\end{minispace}}$

Figure 1 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function $5y+2x=-15$ .

This implies that the correct option for the point slope form of the line is option C.

Therefore, the point slope form of the line which passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ is $2x+5y=-15$ i.e., option C.

Several batches of stew were made yesterday. Each batch required 1 and two-thirds pounds of meat. All together, 10 and StartFrac

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch of stew uses 1 and 2/3 lb meat

Total amount of meat used - 10 and 5/6 lb

x = number of stew batches made

To get number of batches made, divide total meat used by the amount of meat each batch requires:

x = 10 5/6 ÷ 1 2/3

convert mixed fractions to improper fractions:

x = (10x6+5)/6 ÷ (1x3+2)/3

x = 65/6 ÷ 5/3

The fraction in bold numbers is where Janice got it wrong. She changed 1 2/3 to 5/2. (From the question: 10 and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction divided by 1 and two-thirds = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction divided by five halves). 1 2/3 converted to an improper fraction is 5/3. From this point going forward, the calculations are wrong.

The vertical of three squares are joined to form a right triangle , what is the area of the largest square

lakkis [162]

Answer:

43cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

let's first consider the area of a square.

the area is L² which means all sides are equal so we take the length times the breadth which is both equal because like we said all sides are equal.

so to find the side of the square using the area, we take the square root of both of the area.

$\sqrt{25} = 5$

and also

$\sqrt{18} = 4.2$

so we have the height of the triangle as 5cm and the base is 4.2cm.

now, from the triangle, since we have two sides and it's a right-angled, we can use Pythagoras' formula.

$\sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {4.2}^{2} } = 6.53cm$

so the side 6.53cm is also the same side as the largest triangle. Since it's a square, all sides are equal. So we find the area of the largest triangle by using the formula

Area = L²

Area = 6.53²

Area = 42.6cm

the nearest cm square

Area = 43cm²
