write an equation in general form of the line passing through (3, -5) whose slope is the negative reciprocal of -1/4

Negative reciprocal means
-1/4 times x=-1 solve for x
multiply both sides by -4/1
x=-4
so slope=-4
y=mx+b
m=slope, b=y intercpet
y=-4x+b
input 3 for x and -5 for y
-5=-4(3)+b
-5=-12+b
add 12 to both sides
7=b
the equation in slope intercept form is y=-4x+7
that is my standard form
another standard form is
y+4x=7

<h3>Answer: Commutative Property (choice C)</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

Here are all of the justifications for each step

  • Step 1. None needed. This is the original expression
  • Step 2. Distributive property
  • Step 3. Multiply  (the 3 and 5 multiply to 15)
  • Step 4. Commutative property. Specifically, this is the commutative property of addition which allows us to add any two numbers in any order we want. In this case, the  -15 and 4x terms swap places.
  • Step 5. Associative property. The parenthesis group the first two terms away from the third term.
  • Step 6. Combine like terms. Both 3x and 4x have an x only so they are like terms that combine to 7x. You can think of it as 3+4 = 7, then you just tack an x onto everything to get 3x+4x = 7x.

A skydiver is falling 176 feet per second. How many feet per minute is he falling
Vlada [557]
The correct answer here is that if the skydiver is falling 176 feet per second, he is falling 10560 feet per minute. This can be worked out quite easily, by considering that if there are 60 seconds in a minute, we then need to work out the proportion of 176 feet/1 sec = x/60 sec. You then need to multiply 60 by 176 to get 10560, which is your answer.

Huey has a fish tank that measures 5 feet long by 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall . The volume of the tank.
iris [78.8K]
This is a simple problem

First, take common sense and apply it here. The problem doesn't specifically tell you what the shape ACTUALLY is, but we can also apply what we know about geometry here, as well as what we know in general. Fish tanks most commonly come in 2 shapes: Square's and Rectangles. Fish tanks are what we call "3D" objects (meaning it's just not flat like a piece of paper", and the shapes are known as "Cubes and Rectangular Prisms".

Well, we know that squares/cubes have to have even sides. The problem states the tank is 5(l) by 2(w) by 2(h). This means it CAN'T be a cube, thus meaning it's a rectangular prism.

Now, to calculate volume, we have to know the formula. For this, the formula for volume is as follows: V=lwh
This means Volume=Length*Width*Height

So, do replace the words with what you know you already have. Let's make a list:
Length=5
Width=2
Height=2

V=lwh-----V=5*2*2

Now, work it out. 5*2=10*2=20, Left to right

Your answer here is V=20

~Hope this helps!

You roll a red-sided die and a white-sided die. Find the probability. P(red is less than 3 and white is less than 3) Simplify th
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1 on 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The red dice has 6 faces. The number you have to obtain is less than 3. So your answers must be 1 and 2. The numbers 1 and 2 are two solutions out of six. Now the same goes with the white dice. Two solutions out of six. You combine them and obtain 4 on 12. Then, you reduce the answer in minimal terms and finally obtain 1 on 3.
