Answer:
y = (-2/5)x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to attack this problem is to interchange the coefficients of x and y and change the sign of one to +: 5x - 2y = -6 becomes 2x + 5y = c. Solving for the slope, m, we get 5y = -2x + c first, and then y = (-2/5)x + D.
Subbing 5 for x and -4 for y, we now have -4 = (-2/5)(5) + D.
Then -4 = -2 + D, so that D = -2.
The desired equation is thus y = (-2/5)x - 2.
Check: Does this pass through (5, -4)? Is -4 = (-2/5)(5) - 2 true? Yes.
Is the slope -2/5 the negative reciprocal of 5/2? Yes, it is.
I'm assuming you are talking about polynomials.
For example, I have x^2 + 2x + 1, and I want to add 2x^2 + x + 2
Then the like terms here are:
x^2 and 2x^2, 2x and x, 1 and 2, they are quadratic, linear and constant, respectively.
We have no dimensions to work with. I'll pick some and try and comply with the conditions of the problem.
Suppose you have an object that is 14 by 22 by 27 cm. These three numbers have no common factor so they cannot be reduced any further, which is helpful for this problem.
Find the Volume
Volume
l = 27 cm
w = 14 cm
h = 22 cm
V = 27 *14 * 22
V = 8316 cm^3
Find the surface area
SA = 2*l*w + 2*l*h + 2*w*h
SA = 2*27*14 + 2*27*22 + 2*14*22
SA = 756 + 1188 + 616
SA = 2558
Just looking at these numbers The surface area is about 1/3 of the volume. I don't think this is always true.
Another way to do this is to consider a cube which might give you a more useful result.
s = L = W = H all three dimensions are equal in a cube.
The volume of a cube is s*s*s = s^3
The surface area of a cube is 2*s*s + 2*s*s + 2s*s = 6s^2


That means whatever the side length, the Surface Area to volume = 6/the side length which is kind of an interesting result.
