Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph the equation, you'll see that the y-intercept is -3 and the slope is $\frac{1}{3}$

Which equation does the graph of the systems of equations solve?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$\text{B. }\frac{1}{3}x-3=-x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by taking a look at the blue line. The slope of any line that passes through two points is equal to the change in y-values over the change in x-values. We can see that the line passes through points (0, 1) and (1, 0). Assign these points to $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ (doesn't matter which you assign) and use the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let:

$(x_1,y_1)\implies (0,1)\\(x_2,y_2)\implies (1, 0)$

The slope is equal to:

$m=\frac{0-1}{1-0}=\frac{-1}{1}=-1$

Therefore, the slope of this line is -1. In slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ , $m$ represents slope, so one of the lines must have a term with $-x$ in it, which eliminates answer choices A and D.

For the second line, do the same thing. The red line clearly passes through (0, -3) and (3, -2). Therefore, let:

$(x_1,y_1)\implies (0,-3)\\(x_2,y_2)\implies (3, -2)$

Using the slope formula:

$m=\frac{-2-(-3)}{3-0}=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the slope of the line is 1/3 and the other line must have a term with $\frac{1}{3}x$ in it, eliminating answer choice C and leaving the answer $\boxed{\text{B. }\frac{1}{3}x-3=-x+1}$

*You can find the exact equation of each line by using the slope formula as shown and plugging in any point the line passes through into $y=mx+b$

If red oak lumber weighs 63 pounds per cubic foot, how much does one cord of red oak weigh? (A cord is a measurement for bulk wo

dsp73

Answer: Option C. 8,064 pounds

Solution:

Unit weight: U=63 pounds/foot^3

Total Weight: W=?

W=U*V

Volume: V

Length: l=8 feet

Width: w=4 feet

Height: h=4 feet

V=l*w*h

Replacing the knwon values in the formula above:

V=(8 feet)*(4 feet)*(4 feet)

V=128 feet^3

Replacing in the formula of total Weight:

W=U*V

W=(63 pounds/foot^3)*(128 feet^3)

W=8,064 pounds

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5,-3)?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5, -3) is $y = -\frac{6}{5}\cdot x +3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we must remember that a line can be formed after knowing two distinct points on Cartesian plane. The equation of the line is described below:

$y = m\cdot x + b$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that $(x_{1},y_{1}) = (0,3)$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})=(5,-3)$ , the following system of linear equations is constructed:

$b = 3$ (Eq. 2)

$5\cdot m + b = -3$ (Eq. 3)

The solution of the system is: $b = 3$ , $m = -\frac{6}{5}$ . Hence, we get that equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5, -3) is $y = -\frac{6}{5}\cdot x +3$ .
