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

According to the first rule, if a force pulls on one end of a rope, the tension in the rope equals the magnitude of the pulling
mixer [17]

Answer:

F.

Explanation:

Here in the question the mass of the pulley is zero, hence, the tension in the cable throughout is same.

magnitude of tension in rope 1 is

T1= F

Hence the tension T1 is rope 1 is F.

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 4.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1.93 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 4.5g = 0.0045kg

Spring constant = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = 13 cm = 0.013m

Frictional force = 0.035N

Compression = 5.8 cm = 0.058m

First, we find the P. E. stored in the spring:

P. E. = ½*k*x²

P. E. = ½ * 8 * 0.058² = 0.013J

Then, we find the work done by the frictional force while the sphere is leaving the barrel of the gun:

Work = Force * distance

The distance here is the length of the barrel.

Work = 0.035 * 0.13 = 0.0046 J

The kinetic energy of the sphere can now be found:

K. E. = P. E. - Work done

K. E. = 0.013 - 0.0046 = 0.0084J

We can now find the speed using the formula for K. E.:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

0.0084 = ½ * 0.0045 * v²

v² = 0.0084/0.00255 = 3.733

=> v = 1.93 m/s

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?
KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight ws by pulling straight up on the handle. However, he is unable to lift the suit
kvasek [131]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Normal force, is always directed upward the surface over which is placed the object, and can adopt any value, as required to meet Newton's 2nd Law.

In this case, as the external force on the suitcase pulls upward, in order  to counteract the influence of gravity, normal force is less than the weight of the suitcase, as follows:

F + Fn = m*g

⇒ Fn = m*g - F

So, the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase (m*g) minus the magnitude of the force of the pull (F) which is the same expressed by the statement b.
