Answer:

y = 1/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line with two points

Step1: find the slope

m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

( 0 , -2) (6 , 0)

x_1 = 0

y_1 = -2

x_2 = 6

y_2 = 0

Insert the values

m = ( 0 - (-2)/ (6 - 0)

m = ( 0 + 2)/(6 - 0)

m = 2/6

m = (2/2)/(6/2)

m = 1/3

Step 2 : substitute m into the equation of line

y = mx + c

y = intercept y

m = slope

x = intercept x

c = intercept

y = 1/3x + c

Step 3: sub any of the two points

Let's pick ( 6 ,0)

x = 6

y = 0

Insert the values into

y = 1/3x + c

0 = 1/3(6) + c

0 = 1*6/3 + c

0 = 6/3 + c

0 = 2 + c

c = 0 - 2

c = -2

Sub c = -2

y = 1/3x - 2

The equation of the line is

y = 1/3x - 2

The area of rectangular field is (49m2-42m+9).Find the dimensions of the field

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The dimensions are (7m-3) by (7m-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the area of the rectangular field to be:

$49 {m}^{2} - 42m + 9$

We need to factorize this expression.

Let us rewrite to obtain:

${(7m)}^{2} - 2(7 \times 3)m + {3}^{2}$

We can easily see that the expression is actually a perfect square trinomial.

This gives us:

$(7m - 3)^{2}$

$(7m - 3)(7m - 3)$

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.

Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is $\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

$\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box$

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

$14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes$

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

$4-2=2\ cupcakes$

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box
