Answer:

The slope of the line would be 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, you would take the slope formula, (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

Next we would plug in the points of the line

(13-8)/(8-3)

5/5

1/1

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1.

3/4x=-18 what is the answer?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

X= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

3/4*x-(18)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Simplify —

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(— • x) - 18 = 0

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :

18 18 • 4

18 = —— = ——————

1 4

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x - (18 • 4) 3x - 72

————————————— = ———————

4 4

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 72 = 3 • (x - 24)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

3 • (x - 24)

———————————— = 0

Step 4 :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

3•(x-24)

———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

Now, on the left hand side, the 4 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

3 • (x-24) = 0

Equations which are never true :

4.2 Solve : 3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3 Solve : x-24 = 0

Add 24 to both sides of the equation :

x = 24

One solution was found :

x = 24

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, -2)(−3,−2) and (3, 6)(3,6)? Put your answer in fully reduced

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the equation that passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line whose rule is $m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

b is the y-intercept, you can find it by substituting x, y in the equation by (x1, y1) OR (x2, y2)

Let us solve the question:

∵ The line passes through the points (-3, -2) and (3, 6)

∴ x1 = -3 and x2 = 3

∴ y1 = -2 and y2 = 6

→ Use the rule of m to find it

∵ $m=\frac{6-(-2)}{3-(-3)}=\frac{6+2}{3+3}=\frac{8}{6}$

→ Simplify it by dividing up and down by 2

∴ m = $\frac{4}{3}$

→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above

∴ y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y by x1 and y1

∴ -2 = $\frac{4}{3}$ (-3) + b

∴ -2 = -4 + b

→ Add 4 to both sides

∴ -2 + 4 = -4 + 4 + b

∴ 2 = b

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation

∴ y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + 2

∴ The equation of the line is y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + 2

Jenny surveyed 40 students at her school and found that 0.55 of the students she surveyed said their favorite class is math. Ano

Leno4ka [110]

C.) 30 since they both have 5's just take them out then subtract 50 and 20 *but make sure u take out the decimal though* so after u subtract u will get 30 then line it up and put the decimal back then it will be .30

There is a triangle with a perimeter of 63 cm, one side of which is 21 cm. Also, one of the medians is perpendicular to one of t

NemiM [27]

Answer:

21cm; 28cm; 14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no info in the problem/s text which one of the triangle's side is 21 cm. That is why we have to try all possible variants.

Let the triangle is ABC . Let the AK is the angle A bisector and BM is median.

Let O is AK and BM cross point.

Have a look to triangle ABM. AO is the bisector and AOB=AOM=90 degrees (means that AO is as bisector as altitude)

=> triangle ABM is isosceles => AB=AM (1)

1. Let AC=21 So AM=21/2=10.5 cm

So AB=10.5 cm as well. So BC= P-AB-AC=63-21-10.5=31.5 cm

Such triangle doesn' t exist ( is impossible), because the triangle's inequality doesn't fulfill. AB+AC>BC ( We have 21+10.5=31.5 => AB+AC=BC)

2. Let AB=21 So AM=21 and AC=42 .So BC= P-AB-AC=63-21-42=0 cm- such triangle doesn't exist.

3. Finally let BC=21 cm. So AB+AC= 63-21=42 cm

We know (1) that AB=AM so AC=2*AB. So AB+AC=AB+2*AB=3*AB

=>3*AB=42=> AB=14 cm => AC=2*14=28 cm.

Let check if this triangle exists ( if the triangle's inequality fulfills).

BC+AB>AC 21+14>28 - correct=> the triangle with the sides' length 21cm,14 cm, 28cm exists.

This variant is the only possible solution of the given problem.

T/2 + 3 = 5 (solve for t)

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

t = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{t}{2}$ + 3 = 5 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

$\frac{t}{2}$ = 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

t = 2 × 2 = 4
