Answer:

y=1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is -2 and the slope of the line is 1/2. You can find the slope by using the rise over run method, which is the change in y over the change in x. In the points, x changed by +2, and y by +1, which is 1/2. Substitute that into the formula y=mx + b using one of the points to find the y-intercept, or b. You could use -4 = 1/2(-4) + b, solve for b, and you would get -2.

the rectangle shown has a perimeter of 40cm and the given area of 64 cm squared it's length is 8 more than twice its width write

notka56 [123]

Answer:

16 = l

4 = w

Step-by-step explanation:

{64 = wl

{40 = 2w + 2l

{l = 8 + 2w

64 = w[8 + 2w] ↷

-64 + 8w + 2w² ↷

[2w² - 8w] + [16w - 64]

2w[w - 4] 16[w - 4]

[w - 4][2w + 16] = 0

↑

This is the expression we want because when we talk about dimensions, we want NON-NEGATIVE numbers. The other expression results in -8 = w, and we do not want that; this expression gives us a solution of 4 = w, and THIS is exactly what we want. Anyway, you plug "4" back into the system of equations and you will get a length of 16 centimetres.

If the probability of an outcome is 2/9, what are the odds against that outcome?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the chances of an outcome are 2/9, the odds against it can be found by subtracting that from 1.

1 - 2/9

= 7/9

So, the odds against that outcome are 7/9

Find the estimates of x^2-x-2=3

Julli [10]

Answer:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

$x^2-x-2=3\\x^2-x-5=0$

Roots of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ are

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\$

So, for the given equation roots are

$x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2\cdot 1}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}\\so, x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79$
