Finding the slope in y- intercept form 2×+7y=21

Mathematics

astraxan [27]4 years ago

To find the slope from an equation, solve the equation for y.
The equation will have the form y = mx + b, called the slope-intercept form.
Then m = slope.

Let's solve your equation for y.

2x + 7y = 21

Subtract 2x from both sides.

7y = -2x + 21

Divide both sides by 7.

y = -\dfrac{2}{7} x + \dfrac{21}{7}

y = -\dfrac{2}{7} x + 3

Now compare the equation above to y = mx + b.
m is the number that multiplies x, and it is the slope.

m = -\dfrac{2}{7}

Answer:

No, it is not a square

Step-by-step explanation:

If one wall is 19", that would mean the wall perpendicular to this wall is also 19" (in fact all of the walls would be 19"!) If this was a square, then the diagonal we draw at 20.62" would serve as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  One wall would serve as a leg, and another wall as another leg.  If this is a square, then the Pythagorean's Theorem would be satisfied when we plug in the 2 wall measures for a and b, and the diagonal for c:

19^2+19^2=20.62^2

We need to see if this is a true statement.  If the left side equals the right side, then the 2 legs of the right triangle are the same length, and the room, then is a square.

361 + 361 = 425.1844

Is this true?  Does 722 = 425.1844?  Definitely not.  That means that the room is not a square.

The drama club was selling tickets
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold.

If 675 is 3/4 what is the the other 1/4 and how did you get it ?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 675 you'll get 225. 225 times 4 will be 900. But 225 times 3 will be 674. So each 1/4 will be 225.
