Answer:

y = -.5x -.5

Step-by-step explanation:

All you do is plug in the x and y in the point to the equation, y = mx + b. Since the coordinate is (5, -3), this in the equation would look like -3 = -.5(5) +b. (all you need to find is the y-intercept, or b.) Solve it out to get -3 = -2.5 + b. Add 2.5 to each side of the equation, you're left with b = -.5. Now, put that back into the original equation, and get y = -.5x -.5. I think this is right, you can go back through and check once more if you'd like.

Answer: 122

Step-by-step explanation: Substitute the values of x and y into the expression.

$x^6+y^2 \\ \text{ is like } \\ ( )^6 + ( )^2$

"Fill in the blanks" with the numbers given for x and y.

$(1)^6+(11)^2 = 1+121=122$

Use four unit multipliers to convert 630 square yards into square inches

vagabundo [1.1K]

We are asked to determine the unit multipliers in order for us to convert 630 square yards to into square inches. Well, first we need to convert square yards to square feet and secondly, we convert square feet to square inches.
square yards -> square feet -> square inches
We also take note the following:
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
The solution in converting the unit is shown below:
630 yards² * (3 feet / 1 yard)² = 5670 feet²
5670 feet² * (12 inches / 1 foot)² = 816,480 inches²

The answer is 816,480 inches².

Prove that the median to the base of an isosceles triangle is also: the altitude to the base.

EleoNora [17]

Hey there!

The base angles theorem converse states if two angles in a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are also congruent. The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states that the perpendicular bisector of the base of an isosceles triangle is also the angle bisector of the vertex angle.

Let me know if you are still confused and need a better explination :)

Have a great day!
