A line with slope -2/3 passes through the point (-12,16) What is the X-intercept

Mathematics

Troyanec [42]3 years ago

to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill

We have 9 cards numbered 1 to 9. Two cards are drawn at random. What is the probability that the sum of the drawn cards is a pri
emmainna [20.7K]
There are 5 cards less than nine that are prime, so there is a 5/9 chance of picking the first one prime. The second one would be 4/8 or 1/2, because you have removed a card from the deck. You multiply them together to get: 5/18. 

Hope this helps!

tresset_1 [31]
Answer: 3.16


The first point, T = (x1,y1), and the second point, U = (x2,y2). Can be approximated as 3.16,so the distance between the two points is 3.16 units.

Estimate the quotient for 49 / 311
Makovka662 [10]
To get a close estimate, we can round 49 up to 50 and 311 down to 300, obtaining an estimate of 50/300 = 1/6, or 0.1666... as a repeating decimal. That decimal approximation is a little less than one hundredth away from the actual decimal approximation of ≈ 0.1576
