What does it mean for an equation to be linear? What kind of relationships can be modeled by equations in the form y=mx?

An equation that is linear:
1. When graphed, linear equations make a [straight] line (hence the name linear).
2. Have x exponents raised to the first power (in other words, if the x-value obtains exponents that are not 1 [Note: having 1 as an exponent is just like not having an exponent given that a number raised to the first power is still that number], it isn't linear) 

Proportional relationships can be modeled in the form y = mx where m equals the slope, or constant rate of change.

The equation of the line CD is (y-3)=-2(x-4). what is the scope of the line perpendicular to line CD
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

y=-1/2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to put (y-3)=2(x-4) in slope intercept form.

we need to do order of operations....

so we need to first do the parenthesis

x*2= 2x

2*-4= -8

y-3=2x-8

add 3 on both sides to isolate y

y= 2x-5

so now we know the y=mx+b form

this is one line...

now we need to find out what line is perpendicular.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals slopes.

y=-1/2x-5

I need help with this question

The area of each triangular face is
.. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. Aside = (1/2)*(6 cm)*(5 cm) = 15 cm^2

The area of the triangular base is
.. Abase = ((√3)/4)*s^2 = (√3)/4*(6 cm)^2 = 9√3 cm^2

The total surface area is the base area plus the area of the three sides.
.. Atotal = Abase + 3*Aside
.. = 9√3 cm^2 +3*15 cm^2
.. = (45 +9√3) cm^2
.. ≈ 60.6 cm^2


Actually, there's an error in the picture. The height of the side should be 4, and the length of the edge should be 5. Making that adjustment, the total area is 51.6 cm^2.

It is hard to tell what is intended. Not all answers are showing, so we can't "reverse-engineer" the problem from the answers.

A car whose acceleration is constant reaches a speed of
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

  12.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

If acceleration is constant, speed is proportional to time. To increase the speed by 50 km/h, the car will need an additional time given by ...

  t/(50 km/h) = (20 s)/(80 km/h)

  t = (20 s)(50/80) . . . . . multiply by 50 km/h

  t = 12.5 s

It will take 12.5 more seconds for it to reach a speed of 130 km/h.
