Answer:

y = 3/5 x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, calculate the slope using two points. With the slope and one point, substitute them into the point slope form and simplify as needed.

Use the points (5,1) and (0, -2) since -2 is the y-intercept.

Slope = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1--2}{5-0}=\frac{3}{5}$

y - -2 = 3/5 (x - 0)

y + 2 = 3/5(x)

y = 3/5 x - 2

You are putting a rectangular hot tub on your back porch. It is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. How much will it cost

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$Cost=\$3.66234\approx \$3.67$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Height\ of\ tub=3\ feet\\\\Length\ of\ tub=6\ feet\\\\width\ of\ tub=5\ feet\\\\Volume=Length\times Width\times Height\\\\Volume=6\times 5\times 3=90\ feet^3$

$1\ feet^3=7.48052\ gallons\\\\90\ feet^3=90\times 7.48052=673.2468\ gallons$

$cost\ of\ 1000\ gallons=\$5\\\\cost\ of\ 1\ gallons=\$ \frac{5}{1000}\\\\cost\ of\ 673.2468\ gallons=\$ \frac{5}{1000}\times 673.2468=\$3.366234$

Breanna has quarters, dimes, and nickels in her purse. she has 3 fewer nickles than dimes, but she has 2 more nickles than quart

zmey [24]

We base ourselves in the one piece of crucial evidence: She has 2 quarters.
-from the rest of the problem, we know that she has 2 more NICKEL'S than QUARTERS,

(2 Quarters + 2 = 4 nickels)

she has 3 fewer nickels than dimes,

DIME - 3 = Nickels

D - 3 = 4

D = 7

7 dimes
(70 cents)

4 nickels
(20 cents)

2 quarters
(25 cents)

115 cents
or $1.15

Triangle ABC has sides with lengths of 11, 18, and 8 units. Determine whether this triangle is a right triangle.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If this triangle is a right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem would work on it. According to the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , so c would always be greater than a or b. In this scenario, the greatest number here is 18, so c = 18. Since a or b don't matter if given both legs, we have the following equation that may or may not be equal: $8^2+11^2=18^2$ . We know 8 squared is 64, and 11 squared is 121, and 18 squared is 324. This means that $64+121=324$ according to the Pythagorean theorem, and since 64 + 121 = 185, and 185 does not equal 324, the Pythagorean theorem does not work and the triangle is not a right triangle.
