Answer:

y= 2x - 5 equation has a slope of 2 and a y intercept of -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The slope = 2

Intercept of y = -5

To Find:

The equation of the line = ?

Solution:

The slope-intercept form of a line is a way of writing the equation of a line so that the slope of the line and the y-intercept are easily identifiable. The slope is the steepness of the line, and the y-intercept is the place the line crosses the y-axis.

The equation of the line in the slope intercept form is

y = mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Now substituting the given values we get

y = (2)x + (-5)

y= 2x - 5

48 is 80% of 60

48 of 60 can be written as 48/60

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100
48/60 · 100/100 = 80/100 = .8 = 80%

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 48 ÷ 60 · 100 which will give you 80 as the answer.

What is the value of x with clear working out please?

Answer:

Answer:  x is 46° 

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let's first find Angle ACB

${ \rm{ \angle ACB + 23 \degree + 90 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{ \angle ACB = (180 - 90 - 23) \degree}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \rm{ \: \angle ACB = 67 \degree}}}$

• From alternative angles, x = Angle BAC.

• Since AB = AC, then Angle ABC = Angle ACB

${ \rm{x + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 67 \degree + 67 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 134 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \rm{x = 46 \degree}}}$
