Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: (8,5)(-12,-9)slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10y = mx + bslope(m) = 7/10use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5now we sub and find b, the y int5 = 7/10(8) + b5 = 56/10 + b5 - 56/10 = b50/10 - 56/10 = b-3/5 = bso ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard formy = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 1010y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -17x - 10y = 6So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.

(8,5)(-12,-9)
slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 7/10
use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = 7/10(8) + b
5 = 56/10 + b
5 - 56/10 = b
50/10 - 56/10 = b
-3/5 = b

so ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard form

y = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 10
10y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x
-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -1
7x - 10y = 6

So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.

Help me with 16,18 and 20
Mandarinka [93]
16: -7(5)= -35 ( REMEMBER THE MOUTH EATS THE BIGGEST NUMBER!)
     -6(-6)= 36   therefore 36 is greater than -35
18: they are exactly the same because in multiplication with inters it matters when the signs change. so 3(-6) = -18 ad -3(6)= -18 then -18=-18
20: Same as 18 where division has the same rules. if 8x5=40 then 40/8=5
-40/8=-5 and 40/(-8)=-5 then -5=-5

Translate to a system of equations:
omeli [17]

Answer:

m + n = 15

m - 3 = n

The numbers are 9 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m + n = 15 ..... (1)

Also, from the question,

One number is three less than the other,

Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m - 3 = n ...... (2)

If desired, we can determine m and n

From equation (1)

m + n = 15

Then,

m = 15 - n ...... (3)

Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)

m - 3 = n

Then

15 - n - 3 = n

15 - 3 = n + n

12 = 2n

n = 12/2

∴ n = 6

For m, put the value of n into equation 3

m = 15 - n

m = 15 - 6

m = 9

∴ m = 9 and n = 6

Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6

What is the equation of the parabola?
irina1246 [14]

Because the parabola opens down and the vertex is at (0, 5), we conclude that the correct option is:

y  = -(1/8)*x² + 5.

<h3>Which is the equation of the parabola?</h3>

The relevant information is that we have the vertex at (0, 5), and that the parabola opens downwards.

Remember that the parabola only opens downwards if the leading coefficient is negative. Then we can discard the two middle options.

Now, because the parabola has the point (0, 5), we know that when we evaluate the parabola in x = 0, we should get y = 5.

Then the constant term must be 5.

So the correct option is the first one:

y  = -(1/8)*x² + 5.

ollegr [7]
Using Pythagoras’ theorem a2 + b2 = c2 you can find out the third (longest) side. (6x6) + (8x8) = 100 (the square root of 100 is 10) so ur final sum is 6+8+10 = 24 mm
