Answer:

The slope is 3/8

The y intercept is 75/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (9-6)/(-1- -9)

= (9-6)/(-1+9)

=3/8

The y intercept is found by

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 3/8 x+b

9 = 3/8(-1) +b

Getting a common denominator

72/8 = -3/8 +b

Add 3/8 to each side

75/8 = b

The y intercept is 75/8

Answer:

3/8, 9 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

L (-9, 6) and M(-1, 9)

slope is:

m= (9-6)/(-1+9)= 3/8

y- intercept is:

6=3/8*(-9)+b

b= 6+27/8= (48+27)/8= 75/8= 9 3/8

Luna mixes 3/4 cup of orange juice with 3/8 cup of cranberry juice. She gives 5/8 cup of juice to mags. How much is left in luna

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The answer is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must the least common denominator so that you can add the two fractions. The least common denominator between 3/4 and 3/8, would be 8.

To get 3/4 to the least common denominator, you have to multiply top and bottom by 2. The product of this will be 6/8.

Next you add the two fractions: 6/8 + 3/8 = 9/8

Simplify your improper fraction to get on and 1 eighths or in number form 1 1/8

After this you must subtract how much she gave away so you can use your improper fraction to make it easier and subtract five eighths from nine eighths: 9/8 - 5/8 = 4/8

So, Luna has four eighths of a glass left but first you must simplify your answer. both 4 and 8 divide by 4 to get 1/2.

So Luna's glass only has 1/2 in the cup.

Make sure you be optimistic and see it as half full, instead of the pessimistic view of half empty. Remember to stay positive and share good vibes. Hope this answer helps you.

Select the measures of the angles of a triangle whose angles have measures in the ratio 6:8:10

morpeh [17]

Answer:

45, 60, 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the angles are 6:8:10

Multiply by x to get the angle measures

6x, 8x,10x

We know the sum of the angles is 180 for a triangle

6x+8x+10x = 180

Combine like terms

24x = 180

Divide each side by 24

24x/24 = 180/24

x =7.5

Each angle is

6x = 6(7.5) =45

8x = 8(7.5) =60

10x = 10*7.5 = 75

Use Newton’s Method to find the solution to x^3+1=2x+3 use x_1=2 and find x_4 accurate to six decimal places. Hint use x^3-2x-2=

luda_lava [24]

Let $f(x) = x^3 - 2x - 2$ . Then differentiating, we get

$f'(x) = 3x^2 - 2$

We approximate $f(x)$ at $x_1=2$ with the tangent line,

$f(x) \approx f(x_1) + f'(x_1) (x - x_1) = 10x - 18$

The $x$ -intercept for this approximation will be our next approximation for the root,

$10x - 18 = 0 \implies x_2 = \dfrac95$

Repeat this process. Approximate $f(x)$ at $x_2 = \frac95$ .

$f(x) \approx f(x_2) + f'(x_2) (x-x_2) = \dfrac{193}{25}x - \dfrac{1708}{125}$

Then

$\dfrac{193}{25}x - \dfrac{1708}{125} = 0 \implies x_3 = \dfrac{1708}{965}$

Once more. Approximate $f(x)$ at $x_3$ .

$f(x) \approx f(x_3) + f'(x_3) (x - x_3) = \dfrac{6,889,342}{931,225}x - \dfrac{11,762,638,074}{898,632,125}$

Then

$\dfrac{6,889,342}{931,225}x - \dfrac{11,762,638,074}{898,632,125} = 0 \\\\ \implies x_4 = \dfrac{5,881,319,037}{3,324,107,515} \approx 1.769292663 \approx \boxed{1.769293}$

Compare this to the actual root of $f(x)$ , which is approximately <u>1.76929</u>2354, matching up to the first 5 digits after the decimal place.
