Answer: a: 5
b: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B)5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
"3x + 5y = 15."
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
The slope-intercept form is
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y=mx+b
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
5y=15−3x
Divide each term by "5" and simplify.
5y/5=15/5−3x/5
"5" and "5" cancel each other out
Divide 15 by 5
y=3-3x/5
Reorder 3 and −3x/5
y=-3x/5+3
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
y=−3/5x+3
Slope:-3/5
The equation of a perpendicular line to y=−3x/5+3 must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
<em>m</em>perpendicular=−1/(−3/5)
Simplify the result.
mperpendicular=5/3
hope this helps!
Answer:
C(x) = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Area of the field = 3600 square feet
Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot
Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'
now,
Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet
or
B = 
feet
and total length to be fenced = x + 2B
therefore,
Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced
or
Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )
substituting the value of B from (1)
Total cost of fencing, C(x) = 
or
C(x) =
For example, the additive inverse of 12 is –12. The additive inverse of –3 is 3. Formally, the additive inverse of x is –x. Note: The sum of a number and its additive inverse is 0.
