mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is ( 5 , - 2) and slope is - 2/5

The equation of the line is

y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} (x - 5) \\ y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 \\ y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\

Hope this helps you

∠1 ​and ∠2 are complementary angles.
Roman55 [17]

\qquad \qquad\huge \underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}

In the given question, the two angles are complementary Angle pair, so the sum of their values will add up to 90°

that is ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (3x + 30) \degree + x \degree = 90 \degree

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 3x + x + 30 \degree = 90 \degree

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 4x  =  90 \degree  -  30 \degree

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 4x = 60 \degree

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 60 \div 4

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 15 \degree

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a rose bush cost $15.5 , a flat of petunias cost $9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the cost of rose bush and $y be the cost of a flat of petunias cost

3x + 7y = 114.75

2x + 6y = 89.5

x = 31/2 , y = 39/4

Which graph shows the solution of the inequality −|x − 2| + 9 &gt; 6?
mariarad [96]

answer is -1 < x < 5

-|x - 2|+ 9 > 6

Rearrange the terms

-|x - 2| > 6 - 9

-|x - 2| > - 3

then divide both sides of the inequality by the co- efficient of variable

|x - 2| < 3

convert the absolute inequality to standard inequality

-3 <x - 2 < 3

separate compound inequalities into system of inequality

{x - 2}> -3

{x - 2 < 3}

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x > -3 + 2                    

calculate the sum or difference

x > -1

x -2 < 3

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x < 3 + 2

calculate the sum or difference

x < 5

x > -1 and x < 5

Find intersection

-1 < x < 5

Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. In an equation, the two expressions are deemed equal which is shown by the symbol =. Where as in an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.
