Answer: y= 2x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To be able to write the equation of the line, you want to be able to find the slope first. To do so, rearrange the given equation x+2y=2 into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b

First subtract x from both side, which will give us 2y=2-x. Rearrange this to get 2y= -x+2. Then, divide both sides by 2. This will give us y= -1/2x+1

2. Now that you have the equation, look for the slope in the new equation; this will be the m value. In this case, the slope is -1/2. Since we are looking for a line that is perpendicular, we have to change the slope so that it is the opposite reciprocal. The opposite reciprocal of -1/2 is 2, so the slope of the equation we want to find is 2.

3. Next, all we have to do is plug the given ordered pair (-5, -6) and the slope that we found (m=2) into the point-slope equation, which is $y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )$

That will give us:

y+6 = 2(x+5)

4. Now, solve this equation.

y+6 = 2(x+5) --> distribute the 2 inside the parentheses

y+6 = 2x + 10 --> subtract 6 from both sides

y= 2x +4

From a pack of 9 cards numbered 1-9, three cards are drawn at random and laid on a table from left to right.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: 1/6
Explanation: Since we need to draw three cards from a pack of 9 and the digits require an order, then our sample space becomes: 9P3.
Now, we don't care about picking an order when picking three cards to analyse, as there is only 1 way in arranging the three cards in descending order.

Thus, we get:

$\frac{^{9}C_3}{^{9}P_3} = \frac{1}{6}$

??? Anyone know how to answer this question

True [87]

Answer: 35 additional teachers are needed

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

Explanation:

We have 2470 students and the ratio of students to teachers is 26:1. This means that for every teacher, there are 26 students. Put another way, we can set up this ratio

2470/x = 26/1

where x is the number of teachers. Cross multiply and solve for x

2470/x = 26/1
2470*1 = 26*x
2470 = 26x
26x = 2470
26x/26 = 2470/26
x = 95

So we have 95 teachers currently

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

Let y be the new number of teachers needed to bring the ratio down to 19:1

Using a similar idea as done above, we would have this ratio

2470/y = 19/1

Let's solve for y
2470/y = 19/1
2470*1 = 19*y
2470 = 19y
19y = 2470
19y/19 = 2470/19
y = 130

So we'll need 130 teachers to have the ratio be 19:1

The difference of the values is y - x = 130 - 95 = 35, which is the final answer. This is the additional amount of teachers needed.

Which of the following absolute value equations has no solutions?Group of answer choices

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The absolute value measures the distance a number is away from the origin (zero) on the number line. A number can be to the left or right of zero on the number line, but the distance away from zero is always positive. Graphically:

In other words:

• If d is positive and

$\begin{gathered} |x|=d \\ \text{ then} \\ x=d\text{ or }x=-d \end{gathered}$

• If d is negative and

$\begin{gathered} |x|=-d \\ \text{then} \\ \text{ No solution, because distance (d) can not be negative.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation that has no solutions is:

$\boldsymbol{|x|=-3}$
