Answer:

y= -2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-2,0) = (x_1,y_1) \\ m = - 2$

Substitute values into point slope form

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \\ y - 0 = - 2(x - ( - 2)) \\ y - 0 = - 2(x + 2) \\ y - 0 = - 2x - 4$

$y = - 2x - 4 + 0 \\ y= - 2x - 4$

Two sides of a triangle are two consecutive number, whose area is 17.5cm². Find the numbers

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The numbers associated with the triangle are 5.437 and 6.437 centimeters, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are consecutives, when their difference is equal to 1. The area of the triangle is determined by the following formula:

$A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot n \cdot (n+1)$

$A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (n^{2}+n)$

$A = \frac{n^{2}}{2}+\frac{n}{2}$

$n^{2}+n = 2\cdot A$

Where $n$ is the shortest length of the triangle, measured in centimeters.

And we get the following second-order polynomial:

$n^{2}+n -2\cdot A = 0$ (1)

If we know that $A = 17.5\,cm^{2}$ , then the shortest length of the triangle is:

$n_{1} = 5.437\,cm$ and $n_{2} \approx -6.437\,cm$

Since length is a positive variable, the only possible solution is:

$n\approx 5.437\,cm$

Then, the numbers associated with the triangle are 5.437 and 6.437 centimeters, respectively.

Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total length of the shelf by adding together the lengths of the two boards:

1 1/2 + 3 1/2

= 5

So, the total length of the shelf is 5 m

Which represents a measure of volume?<br> O 5 cm<br> O 5 square cm<br> 05 cm<br> 05 cm

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

a) 5 $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Bodies have three dimensions (width, height and depth). Measuring volume is calculating the number of cubic units that can fit inside.

When raising to 3, these dimensions are included and therefore 5 $cm^{3}$ is a measure of volume.

the ratio of students with bikes to students with scooters in the school is 85:51. What is the greatest common factor that you c

Vikentia [17]

Answer:GCF=17

To find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the numbers, we first need to list the prime factors of both 85 and 51

52=3*17

85=5*17

17 is the sole common factor that these two numbers have in common, therefore 17 is the GCF.

To simplify the ratio, simply divide both numbers by 17.

85:51 becomes 5:3
