Answer:

y=-6x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

All you really have to do here is

replace m with -6, which is the slope you gave, and

replace b with 5, the y-intercept you gave,

in the equation y=mx+b.

The equation of the line that has a slope of -6 and a y-intercept of 5 is:

y=-6x+5.

In a school 40% are boys and 900 are girls. find the total number of students of the school and the number of boys

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1500 students

600 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

40% are boys, so 60% are girls.

Writing a proportion:

900 / 60% = x / 100%

x = 1500

There are 1500 students in the school, which means there are 600 boys in the school.

What is the scientific notation for 140000

vampirchik [111]

You move the decimal point forward until it reaches the one so it looks like this:

1.4 x 10⁵

the exponent, 5, just tells you how many spaces the decimal point moved.

Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 24º.<br>How many sides does the polygon have?

valina [46]

Answer: 360 / 24 = 15

Step-by-step explanation :

Since the sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees, if you divide 360 degrees by 24 degrees you get 15 which is the number of equal exterior angles and therefore 15 vertices and sides to the polygon.

What is 3/4 inches of 15 ft

Fofino [41]

So .. in 1foot, there are 12inches... thus, in 15feet, there are 15*12 inches

how many in 3/4 of an inch? well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
feet&inches\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
15&15\cdot 12\\
x&\frac{3}{4}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{15\cdot 12}{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{15\cdot 12}{1}}{\frac{3}{4}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{15\cdot 12}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{3}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{15\cdot 12\cdot 4}{3}$

solve for "x"
