Question 15 -

SOLUTION:

Let's establish the formula for the gradient / slope of a line as follows:

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

Now we will simply substitute the values from the problem into the gradient / slope formula in order to obtain the value of ( y ).

x1 = 5

x2 = - 7

y1 = 2

y2 = y = ?

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

5 / 6 = [ ( y ) - ( 2 ) ] / [ ( 5 ) - ( - 7 ) ]

5 / 6 = ( y - 2 ) / ( 5 + 7 )

5 / 6 = ( y - 2 ) / 12

( y - 2 ) / 12 = 5 / 6

y - 2 = ( 5 / 6 ) × 12

y - 2 = 60 / 6

y - 2 = 10

y = 10 + 2

y = 12

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

y = 12

Hope this helps! :)

Consider the line 4x + 8y = -4.
goldfiish [28.3K]
A) -2

a slope of a line perpendicular is it’s opposite and reciprocal.

Therefore you want to find the slope. You can do this by writing it in intercept form, or just knowing A/B since it’s in standard form.

slope form: y= mx + b

8y = -4 -4x

y = -1/2x -1/2

So the slope is -1/2 so it’s opposite and reciprocal would be 2. So a slope of a line perpendicular is -2.

b) -1/2

A line parallel would have the same slope as your equation. Since you know the slope -1/2 you know whatever your b value is, that line would be parallel as long as it has the same slope.

It takes 52 minutes for five people to paint five walls how many minutes does it take 20 people to paint 20 walls hi
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

52 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as

Men 1 = 5                                                          Men 2 = 20

Work 1 = 5                                                        Work 2 = 20

Time 1 = 52 min                                               Time 2 = T 2

Now , we can solve by equating them

i.e \frac{Men1 * Time1}{work1} = \frac{Men2 * Time 2}{Work2}

Or, \frac{5 * 52}{5} = \frac{20 * T2}{20}

Or T2 = 52 min  Answer

Simplify the expression. (8 + 7a) + 4 7a
agasfer [191]
For this one I'm going to assume that 4 7a means 4 * 7a...

(8 + 7a) + 4 * 7a =
8 + 7a + 28a =
8 + 35a

If I read it wrong and 4 7a is actually 47a then...

(8 + 7a) + 47a =
8 + 54a =
2(4 + 27a)
