Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation. 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Use slope formula to find slope <span><span><span>−9−5</span><span>−/12−8</span></span>=<span><span>−14/</span><span>−20</span></span>=<span>7/10</span></span> 7/10 = m = slope  
y= mx + b
y= (7/10)x + b
(8,5)
(5) = (7/10)(8) + b
b = -3/5

So.... <span>y=(<span>7/10)</span>x −<span>35

</span></span> multiply by 10

<span>10y=7x−6</span><span> --> -7x + 10y = -6
 --> 7x - 10y = 6
 So, if 7x - 10y = 3 a good model?</span>

Answer:

If the model is good, then both points will check in the equation. Substituting 8 for x and 5 for y in the equation results in 56 – 50 = 3, which is not true. Therefore, the model is not good. Using (–12, –9) as a check results in –84 + 90 = 3. The constant value in the equation should be 6, not 3. In slope-intercept form, the y-intercept should be –3/5. Hope this helps!!! :)

Answer:

The second base of the trapezoid b2 is 2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the second base of the trapezoid.

Mathematically, the area of a trapezoid can be given as;

A = 1/2(a + b) h

where a and b represents the parallel bases and h is the height of the trapezoid

so this, we have from the question

1/2(4.5 + b2) * 6 = 21

3(4.5 + b2) = 21

divide both sides by 3

4.5 + b2 = 7

b2 = 7-4.5

b2 = 2.5 inches

Which of the following shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction when two polynomials, (5x2 3x 4) − (2x2 5x − 1), are
Verizon [17]

The closure property under subtraction is shown when the correct

result from the subtraction of polynomials is also a polynomial.

Response:

  • The option that shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction is; <u>3·x² - 2·x + 5 will be a polynomial</u>.

<h3>How is the option that shows the closure property found?</h3>

The closure property under subtraction for the polynomials is condition

in which the result of the difference between two polynomials is also a

polynomial.

The given polynomials being subtracted is presented as follows;

(5·x² + 3·x + 4) - (2·x² + 5·x - 1)

Which gives;

(5·x² + 3·x + 4) - (2·x² + 5·x - 1) = 3·x² - 2·x + 5

Given that the result of the subtraction, 3·x² - 2·x + 5, is also a

polynomial, we have, that the option that shows that polynomials are

closed under subtraction is; <u>3·x² - 2·x + 5 will (always) be a polynomial</u>.
