Answer:

y = -(2/3)x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the points that are given.

(4, -1) = (x1, y1)

(-2, 3) = (x2, y2)

Step 1: Find the slope, denoted m

This is done by using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The slope for this problem is

m = (3 - (-1))/(-2 - 4)

m = 4/-6 = -2/3

Step 2: The general form for a linear equation in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Use what we know about our line to solve the rest. By using one of the given points, we have 3 of the 4 variables in the above equation. Pick either point, it doesn't matter which one. We'll use (4, -1), which is (x, y), and we know that

m = -2 /3

The equation becomes...

-1 = -(2/3)(4) + b (now solve for b)

-1 = -8/3 + b

-1 + 8/3 = b

-3/3 + 8/3 = b

5/3 = b

Plug that value into the general form...

y = -(2/3)x + 5/3

Answer:

2x + 3y = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line:

Slope = (3 - (-1)) / (-2-4)

= 4/-6 = -2/3

Now we use the point slope form of a straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

y - 3 = -2/3(x - (-2))

y - 3 = -2/3(x + 2)

3y - 9 = -2x - 4

2x + 3y = 5.

How many crores are there in 20 million

olga55 [171]

Answer:

20 million = 2 crore

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you how to convert 20 million to crores (twenty million in crores). This may be useful if you for example want to convert 20 million rupees to crore rupees or 20 million dollars to crore dollars.

In some parts of the world like the United States, large numbers are separated with commas in three-digit-interval format like this:

...,BBB,MMM,TTT,HHH

BBB = billions

MMM = millions

TTT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

In certain parts of Asia, the format is a little different. From right to left, it starts out with three digits followed by a comma like the US, but after that, it is in intervals of two digits like this:

..,AA,CC,LL,TT,HHH

AA = arabs

CC = crores

LL = lakhs

TT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

Below we have displayed 20 million with the two number systems, based on the information above:

MM,TTT,HHH

20,000,000

C,LL,TT,HHH

2,00,00,000

When you match up 20 million with the C,LL,TT,HHH format above, you can see what 20 million is in crores. The answer to 20 million in crores is as follows:

20 million

= 2 crore

(1) a) 5270 cl= ? dal

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Check below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) These metric volume units can be easily converted by dividing or multiplying by 10 and its multiple. Like this: each step up on the ladder multiply by 10. Each step down divide by 10

$a)5270 \:cl=527\:dl\\b)kl=5.3 \times 10=530 hl\\c)58000ml=5.8 dal =(\frac{58000}{10000})\\d)0.39 dal=3.9 l\\e)7.8 dal=780 dl\\f)57.2 ml=5.72 cl$ .

2) When it comes to area, the "ladder scheme" remains valid but now we'll multiply or divide by

$10^3$

Bear in mind these useful relations:

$1litre =\frac{1}{10^3}m^{3}$

$1 cm^{3} =1 ml$

$a) 3.7 l=3700 cm^{3}\\b)29.6 dm^{3}\\29.6 dm^{3} \rightarrow 29.6\times10^{3} cm^3=29.6\times10^{3} ml = 29.6\times10^{2} cl \:or\:2960 cl\\c)8.1l=8100 cm^{3}\\d)5l=\frac{5}{10^{-3}} m^{3}\\e)5.2 cl=52ml=52 cm^{3}=52\times10^{3}=52000 \:mm^{3}\\f)375 ml=375 cm^{3}\\g) 1300 cm^{3}=1300 ml=13 dl\\h) 8.6 ml= 8.6 cm^{3}\times\: 10^{3}=8600 mm^{3}\\i) 51.8\times 10^{11} l \rightarrow 51.8\times 10^{-11}km^{3}$

Sweet noticed the ratio of long boards to short boards was 1:4. If there were 35 surfboards at the beach , how many were short b

andre [41]

So the ratio to longboard to short board is 1:4, the total of that ratio is 5. 35 ÷ 5 = 7. now we're going to take those ratios and multiply 1 × 7 = 7 and 4 × 7 = 28. Your final answer is B. to confirm your answer add 28 + 7.

A man is 32 years old and his son is 5 years old. How many years hence will the

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the current ages:

father= 32 yrs old

son=5 yrs old

-------

4(5+x) = 32+x

20+4x = 32+x

4x-x = 32–20

3x =12

x = 12/3

x = 4 years

------------------------------------

after the 4 years later the farther age will be 36 ( 32+4 = 36)

the son will be 9 ( 5+4= 9 years)

the x presents how the father will be after 4 times the age of the son

Simplify.<br> 4/x^2-35 - 1/x+5

Oksana_A [137]

If I understand your question well, I suppose you mean $\frac{4}{ x^{2} -35} - \frac{1}{x+5}$
$\frac{4}{ x^{2} -35} - \frac{1}{x+5} = \frac{4}{(x+5)(x-7)}- \frac{1}{x+5} \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4}{x-7}-1) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4}{x-7}- \frac{x-7}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4-x+7}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{11-x}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{11-x}{ x^{2} -35}$
