A line passes through the point (0,2) and has a slope of -1/2 what is the equation of the line

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line in slope-intercept form in y = mx + b

"m" is the slope

"b" is the y-intercept

x and y represent points on the graph

To write an equation, you need "m" and "b".

We already know m = -1/2

The point (0, 2) is the y-intercept. The y-intercept occurs when x = 0.

Points are in the form (x , y), so x = 0 and y = 2.

Therefore b = 2.

Substitute m = -1/2 and b = 2 into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = -1/2x + 2

*EASY 7TH GRADE MATH*
lora16 [44]

Answer:

2880

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is made up of two triangles and a square, if that makes sense. Finding the area of a triangle is (base x height)/2.  

The base of the tiny triangle is 4 because there is 8 inches extra to the 10 inch square. <u>10 x 4 = 40.</u>

Now we have a 10 by 10 square: <u>10 x 10 = 100. </u>

So, the area of the trapezoid is 140. There are two trapezoids in this prism, so both bases are 280.

The surface area of the sides are solved by <u>12 x 50 = 600. </u>Together, the sides equal 1200.

The top is solved by <u>10 x 50 = 500.</u>

The bottom is solved by <u>18 x 50 = 900.</u>

Add them all together: 280 + 1200 + 500 + 900 = 2,880

Carlita saw 5 times as many robins as cardinals while bird watching. She saw a total of 25 birds. How many more robins did she t
andrew-mc [135]
Carlita was either sipping the hot chocolate while she was out, or else
approximating the numbers.  The exact number she reported is not
possible.  To see why, I'll do it strictly by the math:

Robins  =  5 times
Cardinals  =  1 time

Total birds  =  6 times 

6 times  =  25 birds

Divide each side by 6 :   1 time  =  25/6  =  4-1/6 birds

Robins =  5 times  =  20-5/6 of them
Cardinals  =  1 time  =  4-1/6 of them

Total:  (20-5/6) + (4-1/6)  =  25 birds.

How many more robins than cardinals  = (20-5/6) - (4-1/6) = 16-2/3 more. 

The math works out fine.  But if the numbers she reported are true,
then some of what she saw was partial birds ... legs, or feathers,
things like that.  Eeeew.   I don't want to talk about it.

Work out the area of this shape. ? cm2<br><br> 4 cm<br> 9 cm<br> 6 cm<br> 12 cm<br><br> Help!!!
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

84 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle + area of rectangle

Area of triangle = 1/2*l*b

= 1/2*8*3= 12 cm^2

Area of rectangle = l*b

= 12*6 = 72 cm^2

Total area= 72+12

= 84 cm^2

I don’t understand how this question
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

<u>x = √51</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is a <u>right triangle</u>.

<u>Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find x</u>

  • (Altitude 1)² + (Altitude 2)² = (Hypotenuse)²
  • (7)² + x² = (10)²
  • 49 + x² = 100
  • x² = 51
  • <u>x = √51</u>
