Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5) and has a slope of -8/5

Mathematics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago

Answer:

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5) and has a slope of -8/5 will be:

                                             y=\frac{-8}{5}x-3  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point (-5, 5)

slope = m = -8/5

Using the slope intercept form:  

y=mx+b

Plugging point (-5, 5) and slope = m = -8/5 in the slope intercept form to find the y-intercept 'b'.

5=\frac{-8}{5}\left(-5\right)+b

\mathrm{Switch\:sides}

\frac{-8}{5}\left(-5\right)+b=5

8+b=5

8+b-8=5-8

b=-3

so the equation of the line will be:

y=mx+b

plugging m = -8/5 and b = -3 in slope intercept form

y=\frac{-8}{5}x-3      

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5) and has a slope of -8/5 will be:

                                             y=\frac{-8}{5}x-3

Quadrilateral FLAG has coordinates F(1,5), L(6,3), A(3,-1), and G(-2,1). Which
Anettt [7]

Answer:

  • B. Quadrilateral FLAG is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to attached.</em>

Plot the point and connect in order FLAG.

<u>We see </u>

  • FL ║ GA
  • GF ║ AL
  • FA and GL are not perpendicular

<u>All the above can be confirmed by calculating the slopes:</u>

  • m(FL) = (3 - 5)/(6 - 1) = -2/5
  • m(GA) = (1 + 1)/(-2-3) = -2/5
  • These are same.
  • m(GF) = (5 - 1)/(1 + 2) = 4/3
  • m(AL) = (3 + 1)/(6 - 3) = 4/3
  • These are same
  • m(FA) = (-1 - 5)/(3 - 1) = -3
  • m(GL) = (3 - 1)/(6 +2) = -1/4
  • These are negative but not reciprocal

The quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Correct choice is B

Help with homework please!!!!!!
melamori03 [73]
The one with the word bank is in this order, right angle, acute angle, straight angle and then obtuse then you try to guess an estimate a right angle is always a 90 degree angle and a straight angle is always 180 degrees the given part of the angle would be subtracted by 180 for example 180-130 which means X= 50 degrees

If 3/5 w = 4/3, what is the value of w?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

w=20/9 or w=2 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each side by 5/3. Then reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor which is 5 do the same with 3. then multiply the fractions and thus the answer of 20/9 you can simplify the improper fraction if you want the answer is still the same. Hope this helps.
