Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 5y + 2x = 12 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

5y = - 2x + 12 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = - \frac{2}{5} + \frac{12}{5} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{2}{5} } = \frac{5}{2} → A

Help I don’t know what I’m doing
Jlenok [28]

Your slope is 6/4. I found this by locating two points where the line intercepts evenly at two points. One was on the y-axis(0,-3) and the other was at (5,3). I then calculated the slope- rise over run or y over x. Because this graphs in a straight line, it is a linear equation. Your equation formula is y = mx + b. M is your slope, and b is your y-intercept. y = 6/4x -3

HELP URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The equation has an Inifinite amount of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( 3g + 2 ) = 1/2 ( 12g + 8 )

First use the distributive property of multiplication -

6g + 4 = 6g + 4

6g cancels out from both sides of the equation -

4 = 4

When both sides of an equation are the same there is an infinite amount of solutions.

Hope this helped! :)

My grade is 92 if an assignment is worth 40% of my grade what will my grade be if I got a 0, 25, and a 50?
Vadim26 [7]
<span>
If you get a 0 on your assignment, your grade will be (92 * 0.6) + (0 * 0.4), which will give you a final grade of 55.2%

If you get a 25 on your assignment, your grade will be (92 * 0.6) + (25 * 0.4), which will give you a final grade of 65.2%

If you get a 50 on your assignment, your grade will be (92 * 0.6) + (50 * 0.4), which will give you a final grade of 75.2%

If you get a 75 on your assignment, your grade will be (92 * 0.6) + (75 * 0.4), which will give you a final grade of 85.2%

If you get a 100 on your assignment, your grade will be (92 * 0.6) + (100 * 0.4), which will give you a final grade of 95.2%</span>

Help me..........<br>only 23...​

Question 23

Recall that a kite in geometry is any four sided figure where we have two different pairs of adjacent sides that are the same length.

We're told that PS = 4.5 and RS = 6. So this isn't an adjacent pair of congruent sides. But we can say that PS and PQ are one pair of adjacent congruent sides. That makes PQ to be 4.5 cm long.

Similarly, RS = RQ = 6 is the other pair of adjacent congruent sides. Notice that triangle PQR reflects over line PR to get triangle PSR.

See the diagram below.
