Write the equation of the line, given the y and x-intercepts.

Dimas [21]3 years ago

Answer:

y = -(2/3)m - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

where, m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

here we are given that the y - intercept is -2, hence the equation becomes:

y = mx + (-2)

or

y = mx -2

we are also given that the x-intercept is -3, which means that when y = 0, x = -3 (simply substitute this into our new equation to solve for m)

0 = m(-3) -2

0 = -3m - 2  (add 3m to both sides)

3m = -2  (divide both sides by 3)

m = -(2/3)

hence our equation is now

y = -(2/3)m - 2

In a system of linear equations, the two equations have the same slope. Describe the possible solutions to the systems
belka [17]
If the two linear equations have the same slope (and the SAME y-intercept), the equations represent the same line. Since a line intersects with itself everywhere, there will be an infinite number of solutions (intersecting everywhere.)

You have a shelf that holds 25 1/2 pounds. What is the most number of 1 1/4 pound books that the shelf can hold?​
patriot [66]

Answer:

20 books

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the shelf can hold 25 1/2 lbs (i.e 25.5 lbs), and that each book weighs 1 1/4 ln (i.e 1.25 lbs)

number of books which the shelf can hold

= weight that the shelf can hold ÷ weight of each book

= 25.5 ÷ 1.25

= 20.4 books

because having 0.4 of a book (i.e part of a book) would not be very feasable, we have to round the number of books down to the nearest whole number)

20.4 books rounded down to nearest whole number = 20 books (answer)

Could someone please help me with this? Solution set of lx^2+mx+n=0 is...?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Simplifying

lx2 + mx + n = 0

Solving

lx2 + mx + n = 0

Solving for variable 'l'.

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

Add '-1mx' to each side of the equation.

lx2 + mx + -1mx + n = 0 + -1mx

Combine like terms: mx + -1mx = 0

lx2 + 0 + n = 0 + -1mx

lx2 + n = 0 + -1mx

Remove the zero:

lx2 + n = -1mx

Add '-1n' to each side of the equation.

lx2 + n + -1n = -1mx + -1n

Combine like terms: n + -1n = 0

lx2 + 0 = -1mx + -1n

lx2 = -1mx + -1n

Divide each side by 'x2'.

l = -1mx-1 + -1nx-2

Simplifying

l = -1mx-1 + -1nx-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped you!
