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).

What is the 4th term of the linear sequence below?<br> -9,-5, -1,3,7,...
Anton [14]

Answer:

The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First term, a = -9

Common difference, d = -5 - (-9)

= -5 + 9

= 4

d = 4

The 4th term of the linear sequence = a + (n - 1)d

where,

n = 4

a + (n - 1)d

= -9 + (4 - 1)4

= -9 + (3)4

= -9 + 12

= 3

The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3

Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

if x = 4

\sqrt{8 + 1} + 3 = 0

\sqrt{9} + 3 = 0

3 + 3 = 0

6 = 0

wrong.

By how much does the dependent variable change in response to a change of 1 unit of the independent variable?
dalvyx [7]

Answer: C) 5

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

x = independent variable, y = dependent variable

Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.

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

An alternative is to use the slope formula to get

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)

m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again

m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before

So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
