Find the slope of the line 3x – 2y = 6 (hint: find 2 points; then use the slope formula)

3x - 2y = 6

Your hint gives you a longer method of find the slope for the line. When we are given the equation of the line, we shouldn't bother to find two points. It's only when we are given a graph that using two points to find the slope is helpful.

To find the slope of 3x - 2y = 6, we first need to convert it into slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we solve for y in the equation they gave you, we have converted it into slope-intercept form and it will be easy to find the slope.

3x - 2y = 6

Add 2y on both sides.

3x = 6 + 2y

Subtract 6 on both sides.

3x - 6 = 2y

2y = 3x - 6

Divide by 2 on both sides.

y = (3/2)x - 3

This is now in the form of y = mx + b

y = (3/2)x - 3
y = mx + b

You can see that m = 3/2 and that b = -3

That means that the slope is 3/2 and that the y-intercept is -3.

The slope of the line 3x - 2y = 6 is 3/2 OR 1.5 OR 1 1/2.

Eq 1 X+Y=16 <br> Eq 2 6x+9y=120<br><br> Solve by substitution <br> Solve step by step
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

X = 8, Y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) Solve for Y w/ bottom equation to yield - y = -2/3x + 40/3.

Step 2) substitute equation into x + y = 16 to get 1/3x + 40/3 = 16 multiply by 3 to clear the fractions and get x + 40 = 48 - subtract 40 by both sides to get x = 8.

Step 3) Plug x = 8 into the bottom equation to get 48 + 9y = 120, subtract 48 by both sides to get 9y = 72 and then divide by 9. The product is y = 8.

Jkl is an equilateral triangle jk= 13x+5,KL= 17X-19 AND JL= 8X+35​
stira [4]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral then sides are congruent.

Equate any 2 sides and solve for x

13x + 5 = 8x + 35 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

5x + 5 = 35 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

5x = 30 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 6

JK = (13 × 6) + 5 = 78 + 5 = 83

KL = (17 × 6) - 19 = 102 - 19 = 83

JL = (8 × 6) + 35 = 48 + 35 = 83

ΔJKL is equilateral with side = 83

PLEASE HELP!! I WILL BRAINLIEST
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

81.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = \mu = 40

Standard deviation = \sigma = 5

Now we are supposed to find out what percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values

z = \frac{x-40}{5}

Now for P(35<x<50)

Substitute x = 35

z = \frac{35-40}{5}

z =-1

Substitute x = 50

z = \frac{50-40}{5}

z =2

So, P(-1<z<2)

P(z<2)-P(z<-1)

=0.9772-0.1587

=0.8185

= 0.818 \times 100

=81.8%

Hence  81.8% percent of the numbers fall between 35 and 50

Use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines y=−x2+14 and 3x−4y=−1 are parallel.
Keith_Richards [23]
Answer: the lines are not parallel.


Explanation: if you isolate the x in 3x^2-4y=-1, the equation is y=3/4x^2+1/4


So, they are not parallel because the slope is not the same.

Help mememememme please ☹️
Dmitriy789 [7]

An exterior angle is formed by one side of the triangle, and a side EXTENDED outside the triangle. Two angles are like that, ∠4 and ∠2.


Angle 3 is NOT an exterior angle because it is made up of two extended sides. It does not use one of the sides of the triangle.
