Determine whether the equation 2x + y = 8 is linear. If so, graph the function.

1 answer:

3 0

It is linear because both variables have an exponent of 1. (FYI: one of the exponents can be 0 and still be a linear equation).

2x + y = 8

-2x -2x

y = -2x + 8 ⇒ slope (m) = -2 and y-intercept (b) = 8

plot the y-intercept (0, 8). then plot the next point by counting the rise over run from the y-intercept. count 2 units down and 1 unit to the right = (1, 6).

Which expression is equivalent to (7 – 3k) – (4 – 5k) – (6 – 2k)?

gladu [14]

Answer:

The right response is " $3(k-1)$ ". A further solution is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

⇒ $(7 -3k) - (4 - 5k) - (6 - 2k)$

On solving the above expression, we get

⇒ $7-3k-4+5k-6+2k$

⇒ $7-3k-10+7k$

⇒ $3k-3$

On taking "3" as common, we get

⇒ $3(k -1 )$

The blueprint for a new swimming pool uses the scale 3/4 inch = 2 feet. If the actual dimensions of the pool will be 8 ft wide b

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The dimensions of the pool on the blueprint would be 3 in wide by 4.5 in long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I turned 3/4 into a decimal, which would be 0.75. The I divided the dimensions of the pool by two. This way I could multiply the .75 by how many sets of two feet there were in the dimensions. Finally I multiplied 4 by .75 and I multiplied 6 by .75. That is how I found my answer.

5x-y=1/4 intercept form

MAVERICK [17]

5x - y = 1/4; this equation is written in slope - intercept form

Slope - Intercept form formula: y = mx + b

-Move '5x' to the left side of the equation
-Move 'y' to the right side of the equation

y = 5x - 1/4
