Find the equation of the line connecting (0, 5) and (-2, 0).

As we go from the first point to the second, x decreases by 2 and y decreases by 5.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -5/(-2), or 5/2.

Starting with the general equation of a line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, substitute the knowns as appropriate to determine the value of b:

y= mx + b => 5 = (5/2)(0) + b.  Then b = 5, and the desired equation is

y = (5/2)x + 5.

Check this!  If we subst. the coordinates of (-2,0) into this equation, is the equation true?

0 = (5/2)(-2) + 5

Yes.  So, y = (5/2)x + 5 is the desired equation.

which set of steps shows the solution to the equation 2y = −8? y = −8 − 2; y = 6 y = −8 ÷ (−2); y = 4 y = −8 ÷ 2; y = −4 y = −8
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:  The correct option is

(C) y = −8 ÷ 2; y = −4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct steps that shows the solution to the following equation :

2y=-8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

the solution to the equation ax=b,~~\textup{a,b are real numbers} is given by

ax=b\\\\\Rightarrow x=b\div a.

Therefore, the solution of equation (i) is as follows :

2y=-8\\\\\Rightarrow y=-8\div 2\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{-8}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y=-4.

Thus, (C) is the correct option.

HELP PLEASE 80 POINTS
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

  • x = 15/p
  • x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>
  • 4(px + 1)=64
<h3>Find</h3>
  • Solve for x
  • Find x when p = -5
<h3>Solution</h3>
  • 4(px + 1) = 64
  • 4(px + 1)/4 = 64/4
  • px + 1 = 16
  • px = 15
  • x = 15/p

<u>When p = -5, substitute p:</u>

  • x = 15/p
  • x = 15/(-5) = -3
