What is the slope of the line with equation y=-5x

Mathematics

harina [27]2 years ago

An equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, our y-intercept is 0, so we're left with y = -5x.

-5 is in the place of m, which means -5 is our slope.


The slope of y = -5x is -5.

Find the value of n in 2m-3n = 6 and 2m + 6n = 12.​
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

n = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2m - 3n = 6

– 2m + 6n = 12

<u>____-____-___</u>

-9n = -6

n = -6/-9

n = 2/3

Hence, the value of n in the given equations is 2/3.

A television newscaster from a 24-hour news station wants to estimate the number of hours per day its viewers watch
topjm [15]

Answer:

This isn't the best worded question but from what I understand a larger sample size decreases the margin of error. If he would like a more accurate answer a larger sample size of the viewers will give more accurate answers.

Is this a quadratic function 2x+13=13
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + 13 = 0

Reorder the terms:

13 + 2x = 0

Solving

13 + 2x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -13 + 2x = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + 2x = 0 + -13

2x = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13

2x = -13

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -6.5

Simplifying

x = -6.5

what is the value of x in the diagram below? if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth of a until
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC

AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence

AC = \sqrt{256} = 16

Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD

ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²

ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²

Equate both equations for AD², hence

256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²

-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )

- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )

40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 7.2 → C

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 60 meters. Its area is 200 square meters. Find its dimensions.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

20 m by 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width and l be length , then

2(l + w) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

l + w = 30 ( subtract w from both sides )

l = 30 - w → (1)

lw = 200 → (2)

Substitute l = 30 - w into (2)

w(30 - w) = 200 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

30w - w² = 200 ( subtract 200 from both sides )

30w - w² - 200 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

w² - 30w + 200 = 0 ← in standard form

(w - 10)(w - 20) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w - 10 = 0 ⇒ w = 10

w - 20 = 0 ⇒ w = 20

Substitute these values into (1)

l = 30 - 10 = 20

l = 30 - 20 = 10

dimensions of field is 20 m by 10 m
