Answer:

The slope is 4, and the y-intercept is Negative five-halves

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$8x-2y=5$

This is the equation of the line in standard form

Convert the equation in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Isolate the variable y

Subtract 8x both sides

$-2y=-8x+5$

Divide by -2 both sides

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

therefore

$m=4\\b=-\frac{5}{2}$

The area of the base of the oblique pentagonal pyramid is 50 cm^2 and the distance from the apex to the center of the pentagon i

Verdich [7]

The complete question in the attached figure

Part a)
we know that
ABC is a right triangle
∠ACB=45°
AC=hypotenuse------> 6√2 cm
sin 45=AB/AC-----> AB=AC*sin 45----> AB=6√2*√2/2----> AB=6 cm

the answer part a) is
AB=6 cm

Part b)
we know that
volume of the pyramid=(1/3)*Area of the base*height
area of the base=50 cm²
height=6 cm
so
volume of the pyramid=(1/3)*50*6----> 100 cm³

the answer part b) is
100 cm³

Marcie bought a total of 20 used books and cds during a yard sale for a total of 54.50$. of books cost 1.50$ each and cds 5$ eac

melomori [17]

Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'

We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒ $b+c=20$
Equation [2] ⇒ $1.50b+5c=54.50$

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought

When we have two equations in terms of two different variables; $b$ and $c$ , that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem.

First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either $b$ or $c$ the subject:
$b+c=20$
$b=20-c$

Then we substitute $b=20-c$ into Equation [2]
$1.50b+5c=54.50$
$1.50(20-c)+5c=54.50$
$30-1.50c+5c=54.50$
$5c-1.5c=54.50-30$
$3.5c=24.50$
$c=7$

Now we know the value of $c$ which is $c=7$ , substitute this value into $b=20-c$ we have $b=20-7=13$

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
