To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3)  (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1      -6-(-3)     -9
-------- =   -------- =  ----
x2-x1       9-(-5)     14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14

A 13 L solution that was 12% vinegar was mixed with a 9 L solution that was 70% vinegar. What is the concentration of the new mi
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The concentration is simply 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating the concentration of a new mixture formed from mixing some liters of each of two vinegar variants of different concentrations.

We proceed as follows;

The concentration of the new solution will contain 12% of 13L vinegar A and 70% of 9L vinegar B

13L of vinegar A will contain 13 * 12% = 13 * 0.12 = 1.56

9L of 70% vinegar B will contain 9 * 70% = 9 * 0.7 = 6.3

Now, the new mixture has a total volume of 13 + 9 = 22L

The concentration of the new mixture will thus be;

(1.56 + 6.3)/22

= 0.357 and that’s approximately 0.36 or simply 36%

Solve for x.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x = 2.5 or -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x

Firstly, we divide through by 4

= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0

Now, we move the two term to the right hand side

x^2 -7/4x = 2

Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;

That would be;

(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64

we now add this value to both sides of the equation

x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64

The right hand side can be rewritten as;

(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64

taking the square root of both sides

x-7/8 = √(177/64)

x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)

x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)

= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017

Which to the nearest tenth is

x = 2.5 or -0.8
