Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Reason:

  • <em>The </em><em>power</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>term</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em>.</em>
  • <em>It</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>graphed</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>at.</em><em> </em><em>line</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>graph</em><em>.</em>

<em>Yo</em><em>u</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>simpl</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>defi</em><em>ne</em><em> </em><em>linear</em><em> </em><em>eq</em><em>uation</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>eq</em><em>uation</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>has</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>vari</em><em>ables</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>exponent</em><em>.</em>

<em>So</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>graph</em><em> </em><em>out</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>why</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>called</em><em> </em><em>linear</em><em> </em><em>equation</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>It</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>tw</em><em>o</em><em> variables</em><em> with</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>exponent</em><em>.</em>

Answer:

Y=mx+b Is a linear equasion because if you plot the x and y on a graph it always shows a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, y=7x+9,

When x is 1 y is 16, and

when x is 2 y is 23.

When you put those two points on a graph and connect the dots with a ruler, you get a straight line, and you will automatically find that when x is 3 y is 30.

Find the volume in cubic meter (C.U.M) of each of the cuboid whose dimensions are :
Leno4ka [110]

The volume in cubic meter of the cuboid with the dimensions length = 12 m , breadth = 10m, height = 4.5 m is 540 m³

<h3 />

<h3>Volume of a cuboid:</h3>
  • v = lwh

where

l =- length

w = width

h = height

Therefore,

l = 12 m

w = 10 m

h = 4.5

v = 12 × 10 × 4.5

v = 120 × 4.5

v = 540 m³

Write the absolute value equation given the transformations
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

<em>y = - 0.5 | x - 5 | + 2</em><em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = |x|

1^{st} step - shifts right 5 units: g(x + 5) = | x <u><em>- 5</em></u> |

2^{nd} step - shifts up 2 units: g(x + 5) + 2 = | x - 5 | <u><em>+ 2</em></u>

3^{rd} step - reflected: - g(x + 5) + 2 =<em> - </em>| x - 5 | + 2

4^{th} step - stretched by 0.5: <em>y = - </em><u><em>0.5</em></u><em> | x - 5 | + 2</em>

<em>y = - 0.5 | x - 5 | + 2</em>

Let T be the plane-2x-2y+z =-13. Find the shortest distance d from the point Po=(-5,-5,-3) to T, and the point Q in T that is cl
GaryK [48]

Answer:

d=10u

Q(5/3,5/3,-19/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance between the plane and Po is also the distance between Po and Q. To find that distance and the point Q you need the perpendicular line x to the plane that intersects Po, this line will have the direction of the normal of the plane n=(-2,-2,1), then r will have the next parametric equations:

x=-5-2\lambda\\y=-5-2\lambda\\z=-3+\lambda

To find Q, the intersection between r and the plane T, substitute the parametric equations of r in T

-2x-2y+z =-13\\-2(-5-2\lambda)-2(-5-2\lambda)+(-3+\lambda) =-13\\10+4\lambda+10+4\lambda-3+\lambda=-13\\9\lambda+17=-13\\9\lambda=-13-17\\\lambda=-30/9=-10/3

Substitute the value of \lambda in the parametric equations:

x=-5-2(-10/3)=-5+20/3=5/3\\y=-5-2(-10/3)=5/3\\z=-3+(-10/3)=-19/3\\

Those values are the coordinates of Q

Q(5/3,5/3,-19/3)

The distance from Po to the plane

d=\left| {\to} \atop {PoQ}} \right|=\sqrt{(\frac{5}{3}-(-5))^2+(\frac{5}{3}-(-5))^2+(\frac{-19}{3}-(-3))^2} \\d=\sqrt{(\frac{5}{3}+5))^2+(\frac{5}{3}+5)^2+(\frac{-19}{3}+3)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(\frac{20}{3})^2+(\frac{20}{3})^2+(\frac{-10}{3})^2}\\d=\sqrt{\frac{400}{9}+\frac{400}{9}+\frac{100}{9}}\\d=\sqrt{\frac{900}{9}}=\sqrt{100}\\d=10u

Please help! Write the slope-intercept form equation of the trend line
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

y= -1/3x+9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that it is 9.2 although it could be another number in the 9's.

The slope is (rise) -1 and (run) 3 and the line crosses the y-intercept at what it looks like 9.2
