Y=mx+b if y=8.18 m=1.31 b=17.2 then find x

Plug in the corresponding values into y = mx + b

8.18 in for y

1.31 in for m

17.2 in for b

8.18 = 1.31x + 17.2

Now bring 17.2 to the left side by subtracting 17.2 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 17.2 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

8.18 - 17.2 = 1.31x

-9.02 = 1.31x

Then divide 1.31 to both sides to isolate x. Since 1.31 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 1.31 out (in this case it will make 1.31 one) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

-9.02/1.31 = 1.31x/1.31

x ≈ -6.8855

x is roughly -6.89

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x= -6.89

Explanation:

You need to substitute your values of the variables into the y=mx+b. So.......

8.18=1.31x+17.2

next, you would solve like a linear equation. so, you would subtract 17.2 from each side first, which would give you

-9.02=1.31x

then, you would divide each side by 1.31. this would give you your answer

-6.885496=x

this varies on teacher, and should be specified in the instructions which place value you are to round to. i will round this to the 2nd decimal place, so

x=-6.89

Which of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?
9966 [12]

Answer:

The electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength are gamma rays.

Explanation:

Photons are the particles that constitute light and its kwnow that lights propagates as electromagnetic waves.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.        

The energy given for each wavelength can be found by means of the following equation.

E = h\nu  (1)

but c = \lambda \cdot \nu

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}   (2)

Where E is the energy, h is the planck's constant and \lambda is the wavelength.

                   

So, it can be see in equation 2 that when the wavelength increases the energy decreases (inversely proportional).

Hence, the electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength are gamma rays.

2. An overseas jet requires 6 hours to fly 9700 km. What is the jet's speed?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Most commercial aircraft typically fly at around 460-575 mph, or 740-930 km/h, according to Flight Deck Friend. But private jet speed can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the weight onboard and the weather conditions.

An object elongates from a length of 45 cm to a length of 55 cm. The percent strain is
suter [353]

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

55 - 45 = 10

10/45 simplifies to 2/9

2/9 = 0.22222... so 22.22% (rounded 22%)

A wave amplitude 0.36m interferes with a second wave of amplitude 0.22m traveling in the same direction. What is the largest res
DerKrebs [107]
The largest resultant amplitude would be that created by constructive interference, basically when the two waves are of the same phase, so it would be 0.36m+0.22m= 0.58 m.

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket  = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

          s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

         v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

          t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

          s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m
