Answer:

the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the statement we can make a system of 2x2 equations, where:

"x" is the area of the first field

"y" is the area of the second field

However,

x + y = 56 => x = 56 - y

3/4 * x + 2/3 * y = 40

replacing we have:

3/4 * (56 - y) + 2/3 * y = 40

42 - 3/4 * y + 2/3 * y = 40

-0.0833 * y = 40 - 42

y = -2 / -0.0833

y = 24

now for x:

 x = 56 - 24

x = 32

This means that the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Find the slope, Y-intercept, and equation (make sure there is no decimals if there is a decimal make it into a fraction)!
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Slope is 5/3

y-intercept = -3

y = 5/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below

m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

7-2 = 5

6-3= 3

Now you have your slope which is 5/3

Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-2 = 5/3(x-3)

y-2=5/3x-5

add two to both sides to get Y by itself

y = 5/3x - 3

now you have your y-intercept, which is -3

Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y

7 = 5/3(6)-3

7=7

12= 5/3(9)-3

12=12

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=-0.3x+6 and that passes through the point (3,-8)
MariettaO [177]
Hey there!

First, let's look at what perpendicular means. Imagine a cross, where there's all 90 degree angles. That's exactly what we're talking about when we say perpendicular. The given equation is in slope-intercept form, where we have:

y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

When we're writing an equation with a perpendicular slope, we use the negative reciprocal of the given slope. Thus, we can make 0.3 1/3, and take the reciprocal to make 3, and make it negative 3 as it's the negative reciprocal. Now, we know we have a line with the slope of -3 and goes through (-3, 8). We can use the x and y values in this set of points, along with the slope, to create an equation to solve for b. That gives us:

8 = -3(-3) + b
8 = -9 + b
17 = b

Now, since we have slope and y-intercept, we can write our equation as:

y = -3x + 17

Hope this helps!
