10 easy points!!!! What is the x-intercept of the line?

Mathematics
1 answer:
fgiga [73]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As x increases from -74 to -54 (a 'run' of 20), y decreases from 18 to 12 (a 'rise' of -6.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise/run = -6/20 = -13/10.

From y = mx + b we get     12 = (-13/10)(12) + b, or (after dividing all terms by 12)

1 = -13/10 + b/12, or

60 = -3(6) + 5b, or

42 = - 5b, or b = -42/5

The line is y = (-13/10)x - 42/5.

At the x-intercept, y = 0.  Setting y = 0, we get:

(13/10)X = -42/5,  or  13x = -84.

Thus, x = -84/13 =  -6.46

and so the x-intercept of the line is (-6.46, 0)

1. A Square shaped wooden plate has a diagonal length of 30cm. Can you find the Perimeter of plate ?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

84.85cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of the square be x

The perimeter of the square = 4x

Get x using the pythagoras theorem

x^2 + x^2 = 30^2

2x^2 = 900

x^2 = 450

x = 21.21cm

Perimeter of the plate = 4(21.21)

Perimeter of the plate = 84.85cm
