To find the slope of the line, first find the slope of 3x + y = 5, and then its opposite reciprocal.
3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
the slope of 3x + y = 5 is -3.
the slope is -3, so the opposite reciprocal slope is 1/3.
the equation of any line is y = ax + b
to find this line, y = 3, x = -9, and the slope is 1/3.
3 = -9a + b
3 = -9 (1/3) + b
3 = -3 +b
b = 6
substitute a and b into the equation
y = ax + b
y = 1/3x + 6
the equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 6.
Answer:
209.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
4-9=-5 -5×-3=15
negative times negative is positive
We know that Quinton struck out 12 batters, 5 batters, and 8 batters. Key word: in all. In all means addition. So, 12 + 5= 17, and 17 + 8= 25. 25 batters.
X=number of boys
y=number of girls.
We can suggest the following system of equations:
x+y=33
x/y=3/8
We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x/y=3/8 ⇒x=3y/8
(3y/8)+y=33
least common multiple=8
3y+8y=33*8
11y=33*8
y=(33*8)/11
y=3*8
y=24
x+y=33
x+24=33
x=33-24
x=9
number of boys /total number of students=9/33=3/11
There are 9 boys and 24 girls in the class.
Answer: C: 9. since 3/11 of the students are boys.
