Answer:

a. (15, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with those two equations:

1) a - 1.2b = -3

2) 0.2b + 0.6a = 12

We'll begin by modifying equation #1 to isolate a:

a = -3 + 1.2b

Then we'll use this value for a in the second equation:

0.2b + 0.6 (-3 + 1.2b) = 12

0.2b - 1.8 + 0.72b = 12

0.92b = 13.8

b = 15

Then we'll place that value of b in the first equation to find a:

a - 1.2 (15) = -3

a - 18 = -3

a = 15

What is the rate of change for a linear function that passes through the points (8, -10) and (-6, 14)

Anna71 [15]

Answer: $m=-1.714$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

$y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6$

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

$m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}$

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

$m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714$

Use Ohm’s law to find the resistance of the light bulb if you had a 20 volt battery and 0.57 amps of current. Show your work for

aleksley [76]

For this case we have the following equation:
V = I * R
Where,
V: voltage
I: current
R: resistance
By clearing R we have:
R = V / I
Substituting the values:
R = (20) / (0.57)
R = 35.09 Ohms
Answer:
The resistance of the light bulb is:
R = 35.09 Ohms
