Give the equation of the line through the point ( - 10,9) with a slope of -1/5

Mathematics

Equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -1/5 x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given slope of the line is -1/5 and the point is (-10, 9). Here m=-1/5.

⇒ y = -1/5 x + b  ------ (1)

  • Step 2: Find the y-intercept of the line, b. Since the line passes through (-10, 9) substitute x = -10 and y = 9 in eq(1)

⇒ 9 = -1/5 × -10 + b = 2 + b

⇒ b = 9 - 2 = 7

  • Step 3: Slope intercept form of the line is y = mx + b. Form the equation using the values of m and b.

⇒ y = -1/5 x + 7

It can also be written as 5y + x = 35

ipn [44]
The situation describes a geometric sequence with first term as 1, and the common ratio of 8.

1st term = 1
2nd term = 1 x 8 = 8
3rd term = 8 x 8 = 64
4th term = 64 x 8 = 512
5th term = 512 x 8 = 4,096
6th term = 4,096 x 8 = 32,768

Solve for x.<br> 1/3 x+4=-2/3 x+12
Leona [35]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Group all x terms on the left side of the equation

1/3· x+4=-2/3·x+12

Add  2/3x to both sides:

1/3x+4+2/3·x=-2/3x+12+2/3·x

Group like terms:

1/3·x+2/3·x+4=-2/3·x+12+2/3·x

Combine the fractions:

1+2/3·x+4=-2/3·x+12+2/3·x

Combine the numerators:

3/3·x+4=-2/3·x+12+2/3·x

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

1·3/1·3·x+4=-2/3·x+12+2/3·x

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

1x+4=-2/3·x+12+2/3·x

Simplify the left side:

x+4=-2/3·x+12+2/3·x

Group like terms:

x+4=-2/3·x+2/3·x+12

Combine the fractions:

x+4=-2+2/3·x+12

Combine the numerators:

x+4=0/3·x+12

Reduce the zero numerator:

x+4=0x+12

Simplify the arithmetic:

x+4=12

2. Group all constants on the right side of the equation

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4=12-4

Simplify the arithmetic:

x=12-4

Simplify the arithmetic:

x=8

A triangle has side measures of 8, 13, 15. Are these the measures of a RIGHT Triangle?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the side lengths of the triangle, we can figure out whether or not this is a Pythagorean triple.

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are both smaller than c.

So,

8^2 = 64.

13^2 = 169.

15^2 = 225.

64 + 169 = 233.

233 is not equal to 225.

Therefore, this is not a right triangle.

What is the total surface area of the pyramid in square feet?
Elis [28]
Base is 12 feet square so 12 *12 = 144 square feet

each triangle has base of 12 feet and height of 8 feet
 area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 12 x 8 = 48 square feet

48 x 4 triangles = 192 square feet

total: 192 + 144 = 336 square feet
