Solve the formula x-2y=15 for y

Mathematics
1 answer:
umka2103 [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

y = (1/2)x - (15/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

goal: to rearrange the expression such that it is in the form

y = f(x); where f(x) is an expression in terms of x

given:

x - 2y = 15      (subtract x from both sides)

-2y = 15 - x    (multiply both sides by -1 to make left side positive)

2y = -15 + x   (divide both sides by 2 and rearrange)

y = (1/2)x - (15/2)

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing <br> y=1/3x+5<br> y=2/3x+5<br> What is the solution
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

We have the system of equations:

y=1/3x+5

y=2/3x+5

To solve it graphically, we need to graph both lines and see in which point the lines intersect.

You can see the graph below, and you can see that the lines intersect in the point (0, 5)

Now, we can also solve this analytically.

We can use the fact that for the solution, we need y = y.

Then we can write:

(1/3)*x + 5 = (2/3)*x + 5

First, we can subtract 5 in both equations to get:

(1/3)*x = (2/3)*x

This only has a solution when x = 0.

Replacing x = 0 in one of the equations, we get:

y = (1/3)*0 + 5 = 5

Then the solution is x = 0, and y = 5, as we already could see in the graph.

Find the orthocenter of the triangle with the given vertices: L(2, 2), M(-4, 2), N(-2, 6) a (-2, 4) b (3, -5) c (2, -4) d (-3, 5
Norma-Jean [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  (-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.

A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.

__

Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:

  a (-2, 4)

A rational number can be written as the ratio of one blank to another and be represented by a repeating or blank decimal. What a
Makovka662 [10]

The answer is a rational number is one integer divided by another, and can be represented in either decimal of fraction form. The explanation behind this is visualize you are using long division to divide one number by one more.  You divide, and then you acquire a remainder. Then you carry down a zero (multiply by ten) and divide again.  Well, there are only so many balances you could perhaps have.  For example, for 5, your choices are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Sooner or later, you will replicate a remainder, at which fact you will just keep dividing the same method you did last time you saw that remainder -- and that's the reason why it repeats.
