What is the slope of the line 2y+x=-3

Mathematics
1 answer:
UkoKoshka [18]3 years ago

Hey there, 

Ok so we need to put this into slope-intercept form so we can find the slope eaisly, (y=mx+b) 

If we move x to the right side we are left with, 
2y=-x-3
Next we divide by 2 to free up the y, 

y=-1/2x-3/2, this is now in y=mx+b form. Making the slope -1/2

Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x - 9}{15}  =  \frac{2x - 9}{10}  \\

\frac{x - 9}{3}  =  \frac{2x - 9}{2}  \\

2( x - 9) = 3(2x - 9) \\

2x - 18 = 6x - 27

27 - 18 = 6x - 2x

9 = 4x

x =  \frac{9}{4} \\

Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

Write a let statement, an equation, solve: Jeremy is 14 years old. This is 4 1/2 years more than half his sisters age. How old i
Art [367]
J = 14
J = 1/2S + 4 1/2

14 = 1/2S + 9/2....multiply everything by 2 to get rid of fractions
28 = S + 9
28 - 9 = S
19 = S

check...
14 = 1/2S + 9/2......S = 19
14 = 1/2(19) + 9/2
14 = 9 1/2 + 9/2
14 = 19/2+ 9/2
14 = 28/2
14 = 14 (correct)

so the sister is 19 <===

Consider the function f(x)= 2/5x-4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: a) \frac{5}{2}x+10=f^{-1}(x)=g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

f(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-4

a.) Find the inverse of f(x) and name it g(x).

Let f(x) = y

So, it becomes

y=\frac{2}{5}x-4

Switching x to y , we get

x=\frac{2}{5}y-4

5x=2y-20\\\\5x+20=2y\\\\\frac{5x+20}{2}=y\\\\\frac{5}{2}x+10=y\\\\\frac{5}{2}x+10=f^{-1}(x)=g(x)

b) . Use composition to show that f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

\mathrm{For}\:f=\frac{2}{5}x-4\:\\\\\mathrm{substitute}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:g\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{2}x+10\\\\=\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{5}{2}x+10\right)-4\\\\=x

Similarly,

\mathrm{g\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{2}x+10,\:f\left(x\right)=\frac{2}{5}x-4,\:g\left(x\right)\circ \:f\left(x\right)}\\\\\mathrm{For}\:g=\frac{5}{2}x+10\:\mathrm{substitute}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:f\left(x\right)=\frac{2}{5}x-4\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}x-4\right)+10\\\\=x

so, both are inverses of each other.

c) Draw the graphs of f(x) and g(x) on the same coordinate plane.

As shown below in the graph , Since for inverse function we need an axis of symmetry i.e. y=x

And both f(x) and g(x) are symmetry to y=x.

∴ f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.
