Answer:

c = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of c to make the line pass through the point K = (2, -3), we just need to use the values of x = 2 and y = -3 in the equation, then we find the value of c.

So, we have that:

y - 1.5*x = c

(-3) - 1.5 * (2) = c

-3 - 3 = c

c = -6

So the value of c is -6

To check if the value is correct, we can use the value x = 2 and see if the value of y is -3:

y - 1.5*x = -6

y - 1.5*2 = -6

y - 3 = -6

y = -6 + 3 = -3

So it's correct.

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line is given as y = mx+c

c is the intercept

m is the gradient or slope

Given the equation of a line to be

y–1.5x = c passing through the point (2,-3), to get c we will substitute the point into the equation

x = 2, y = -3

c = -3-1.5(2)

c = -3-3

c = -6

maria saves $25.00 a month and her sister Luisa saves $37.50 a month. How many months will it take for Luisa to save exactly $10

damaskus [11]

37.50 -25.00= 12.50 so Luisa makes 12.50 more a month than Maria. Divide 100/12.5 = 8. It will take Maria 8 months to be exactly $100 ahead of Luisa.

Payne saves $2,000 at a yearly simple interest rate of 2%. He earns $280 in interest. How many years did he save his money?

Flauer [41]

The answer if 7 years, if you multiply 2,000 by .02 it equals 40. so you divide 280 by 40 and get 7

HELP TIMER Write the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with x-intercept +/- 4 and foci of +/-2(squareroot 5)

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$\frac{x2}{a} - \frac{y2}{b2} = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbola is the locus of a point such that its distance from a point to two points (known as foci) is a positive constant.

The standard equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with transverse on the x axis is given as:

$\frac{X2}{16} - \frac{b}{4} = 1$

The coordinates of the foci is at (±c, 0), where c² = a² + b²

Given that a hyperbola centered at the origin with x-intercepts +/- 4 and foci of +/-2√5. Since the x intercept is ±4, this means that at y = 0, x = 4. Substituting in the standard equation:

I don't feel like explaining so...

a. = 4

The foci c is at +/-2√5, using c² = a² + b²:

B = 2

Substituting the value of a and b to get the equation of the hyperbola:

$\frac{x2}{a2} - \frac{y2}{b2} = 1$

$\frac{x2}{16} - \frac{b2}{4} = 1$

Veronica traveled 562 miles to Venice, Florida. She drove 85 miles every day. On the last day of her trip, she only drove 52 mil

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

562 = 85x +52

x is the number of days

Veronica traveled for 7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

562 = 85x + 52

510 = 85x Subtract 52 on both sides

6 = x Divide by 85 to isolate x

Even though Veronica only had to drive 52 miles on the last day of her trip, it still counts as a day of driving. Hence, she traveled 7 days in total.
