What’s the point slope form of an equation the has a slope of: (-1/6)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zolol [24]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • y +4 = (-1/6)(x -9)
  • y = -1/6x -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

For your given values m=-1/6 and (h, k) = (9, -4), your equation is ...

  y +4 = (-1/6)(x -9)

__

Solving for y puts this in slope-intercept form.

  y = -1/6x +9/6 -4 . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 4

  y = -1/6x -2.5

What is the slope and y-intercept of (5x-8y=3) Need help asap plz! thank you!
Ksenya-84 [330]
You can isolate y and you know that the slope is the number in front of x (the one that multiplies it) You know that the y-intercept is the value of y when x=0, therefore you can find y by replacing x with 0 in the equation 1-equation 5x-8y=3 5x=3+8y 5x-3=8y (5x-3)/8=y y=(5/8)x -3/8 (Slope = 5/8) 2- y-intecept (x=0) y=(5/8)(0)-3/8 y=-3/8

A hunter walks 400m Up a hill which slopes at an angle of 20 to the horizontal. Calculate,correct to the nearest metre, the: a.
AysviL [449]

let y be the horizontal distance and x the vertical

y/400 = cos 20

y=400 cos20

y=376m

x/400 =sin20

x=400sin20

x=137m

USPshnik [31]

Question:

Three students were working on 630,000÷700 in math class.

a. Desiree finds the quotient is 9,000 and Micah finds the quotient is 900.

    Determine which student found the correct quotient.

b. Delilah finds her answer is 90, but she copied the expression incorrectly from the board. If her reasoning and answer for the expression she copied are correct, what expression might she have written?

Answer:

a. Micah is correct

b.

Expression = 63000 \div 700

Expression = 630000 \div 7000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression = 630000 \div 700

Desiree = 9000

Micah = 900

Solving (a): Who is correct?

To do this, we first calculate the quotient of the expression.

Expression = 630000 \div 700

Divide 630000 by 700

Quotient = 900

Hence:

Micah is correct

Solving (b): What Delilah must have copied?

We have:

Delilah = 90

There are no options to pick from. So, we just need to work out expressions that equals 0.

Possible expressions are:

Expression = 63000 \div 700

Expression = 630000 \div 7000

I asked how to solve xm- 2m if x=-2 and m=-3 and I got two different answers one was 0 and one was 12... HELP!!!
saw5 [17]
Xm-2m
(-2)(-3)-2(-3)
12

The equation can be simplified to 12. I'm not sure how you got 0, but at a guess, you messed up your signs when multiplying. Hope this helps!
