Answer:

C. m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of straight line is usually expressed as:

y = mx + b

Where y is the vertical axis component

x is the horizontal axis component

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

At the y-intercept, x = 0

Also, the slope is the rise divided by the run.

Tony and Mario went to the store to buy school supplies. Tony bought 3 packs of pencils for $4 each and a pencil box for $7. Mar

Tony because he spent $19 while Mario spent $18. To explain, you would multiply 3 by $4 because Tony bought 3 of the $4 packs of pencils. Therefore, he would have spent $12. In addition, add $7 to $12, you get $19. On the other hand, Mario bout 4 of the $6 binders. That would mean he spent $24 on binders However, he had a $6 coupon which means he can take $6 off the total price of $24. That would mean subtracting $6 from $24. That would get Mario $18

Determine the value(s) of h such that the matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system. [Start 2 By 3 Matrix 1s

Leni [432]

Answer: h = 9

Step-by-step explanation: A system of linear equations is consistent when it has at least one solution.

The matrix given is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\5&-7&-3\end{array}\right]$

Transform this matrix in a row-echelon form:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\5&-7&-3\end{array}\right]$ $R_{2} = 3R_{2}+R_{1}$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\0&0&-9+h\end{array}\right]$

For this row-echelon form to have solutions:

-9 + h = 0

h = 9

For this system to be consistent: h = 9.

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

If the quadrilaterals are similar, there is a proportionality among their sides:

The top side in the large figure (70) is to the top side in the small figure (10) in the same ratio as the left side (x) in the large figure is to the left side in the small figure (4). This in math terms is written as:

$\frac{70}{10} =\frac{x}{4}$
