Answer:


First we calculate the slope (which is called "m".


Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)


m = (-8 -1) / (5 -2) = -9 / 3 = -3


We next fill in this equation: b = y -mx


We know m = -3 and we can choose a point (2, 1) to calculate "b"


b = 1 --3 * 2 b = 7


Putting this into y = mx +b


y = -3x +7

Solve for x, x^2-3x-5=0
Sophie [7]

Okay so for this one, we have to isolate our X.Lets start by moving the negative 5 on the other side of the equal sign. Remember to not mix a number that is with an X with a normal number (in this case it would be the -3x and the -5). So in putting our -5 on the other sign it becomes positive. Here’s what we have: x^2-3x=5. x^2 is the same thing as 2x.So now you have to minus 3x off of your 2x. This gives us -1x, but can just be put as -x. So now we have -x=5. You’re answer could either be 5 or -5 if you decided to divide it by -1 seeing as your -x is technically -1.

The expressions a(8x+7) and 4x+3.5 are equivalent. What is the value of a?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

a=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the expression a(8x+7) is equivalent to 4x+3.5

     Which means that multiplying 8x by a gives 4x and multiplying 7 by a gives 3.5

So, we can write the following to find the value of a

a(8x+7)\equiv 4x+3.5

we can write the following

8ax=4x

\implies a=\frac{4x}{8x}= \frac{1}{2}

Hence the value of a is 1/2
