Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3 , thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 3 = - 5

y = 3x - 5 ← equation of line

Solve for c. a = 11(4b + c)

olga2289 [7]

a = 11(4b + c) Multiply/distribute 11 into (4b + c) [multiply 11 to 4b and c]

a = 44b + 11c Subtract 44b on both sides

a - 44b = 11c Divide 11 on both sides to get "c" by itself

$\frac{a-44b}{11}=c$ You can simplify it to this(but Idk if you have to):

$\frac{a}{11}-4b=c$

The density of pure solid copper is 8.94 g/mL. What volume does 5 kg of copper occupy. Please help

mel-nik [20]

Density= Mass divided by Volume, but you're trying to find Volume so you apply Algebra and get Volume= Mass divided by Volume.

Volume= 0.5592841163 [kg/m (power to the 3)]

You should round it up
