Answer:

y=\frac{5}{7}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

All lines in the plane are of the form

y = mx+b

<u><em>The intersection with the Y-axis is obtained by replacing x with 0 </em></u>

<u><em>The intersection with the X-axis is obtained by replacing y with 0 </em></u>

If we want that the Y-intercept = -5, then  

-5 = m(0)+b

So b = -5

Our temporal equation is then

y = mx-5

If we want that the X-intercept = 7, then  

0 = m(7)-5

7m = 5

m = 5/7

So our final equation is

y=\frac{5}{7}x-5

Attached is the graph of the line

Sometimes systems <span>of equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts have more than one solution. This is, for the most part true but should be answered sometimes.

Please help, Will give brainliest
Talja [164]

Answer:

First since 2 of the options ask for the width of BM lets solve for it using the Pythagorean theorem for both sides of point L:

a² + b² = c²

30² + b² = 50²

b² = 50² - 30²

b² = 1600

b = 40    Line BL = 40 ft

Since the ladder is 50 feet it is the same length on the other side as well

a² + b² = c²

40² + b² = 50²

b² = 50² - 40²

b² = 900

b = 30        line LM is 30 ft

SO line lm + line bl = 30 + 40 = 70 ft

A is true because ^

B isn't true because as we solved for earlier, BL is 40

C is true because line LM is in fact 30 ft as we solved for

D is not true because as we said earlier BM is 70

E is true because the same ladder was used on both sides of the street

The base and height of a right triangle are 20 inches and 15 inches. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
Karolina [17]

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

Hypotenuse = sqrt( 20^2 + 15^2)

Hypotenuse = sqrt( 400 + 225)

Hypotenuse = sqrt(625)

Hypotenuse = 25

Answer: 25 inches

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. Which proportion can be used to find the measure of the missing side?
lisov135 [29]
I'm not sure what side is missing but you could use the proportions

A/B=X/Y or B/C=Y/Z or CA/=ZX. it also works if you reverse this for example B/A=Y/X

Erin already has 7 plants in her backyard, and she can also grow 2 plants with every seed
Reil [10]
The answer is p=2s+7. Two plants can be grown from each seed packet, and Erin already has seven plants so you add that to the equation as well.
