What is the slope and the y-intercept of -1.7x-1.9y=5.8

Mathematics

Julli [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The slope is -0.89 and the y-intercept is (0, -3.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope and y-intercept, convert the equation to y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Convert the equation by rearranging the terms using inverse operations.

-1.7x - 1.9y = 5.8                                 Add 1.7x to both sides.

+1.7x                     +1.7x

------------------------------------

       -1.9y = 5.8 + 1.7x                         Divide both sides by -1.9.

            y= - 0.89 x - 3.05

This is now in y=mx+b and m=-0.89 and b=-3.05.

The slope is -0.89 and the y-intercept is (0, -3.05).

Evaluate the definite integral using the graph of f(x)<br> (Image included)
Tanya [424]

a) The first integral corresponds to the area under y = f(x) on the interval [0, 3], which is a right triangle with base 3 and height 5, hence the integral is

\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x) \, dx = \frac12 \times 3 \times 5 = \boxed{\frac{15}2}

b) The integral is zero since the areas under the curve over [3, 4] and [4, 5] are equal but opposite in sign. In other words, on the interval [3, 5], f(x) is symmetric and odd about x = 4, so

\displaystyle \int_3^5 f(x) \, dx = \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx + \int_4^5 f(x) \, dx = \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx - \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx = \boxed{0}

c) The integral over [5, 9] is the negative of the area of a rectangle with length 9 - 5 = 4 and height 5, so

\displaystyle \int_5^9 f(x) \, dx = -4\times5 = -20

Then by linearity, we have

\displaystyle \int_0^9 f(x) \, dx = \left\{\int_0^3 + \int_3^5 + \int_5^9\right\} f(x) \, dx = \frac{15}2 + 0 - 20 = \boxed{-\frac{25}2}
