Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y+2=\frac{1}{4}(x-3)$

Required

Find the slope

$y+2=\frac{1}{4}(x-3)$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-3) - 2$

$y=\frac{1}{4}(x-3) - 2$

Open bracket

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}*3 - 2$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{4} - 2$

Take LCM

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{-3 - 8}{4}$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{-11}{4}$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{11}{4}$

An equation has the form:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m = slope$

By comparing: $y = mx + b$ and $y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{11}{4}$

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

So, the slope is 1/4

Is the square of a complex number always a real number? Explain how, please I would like to finish this tonight.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The absolute square of a complex number is calculated by multiplying it by its complex conjugate. This give the magnitude squared of the complex number. The absolute square is Always Real. We will use complex exponentials all the time.

Simplify the following expression as much as you can use exponential properties. (6^-2)(3^-3)(3*6)^4

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$ we get $\mathbf{108}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$

Solving:

$(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$

Applying exponent rule: $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$

$=\frac{1}{(6^{2})}\frac{1}{(3^{3})}(18)^4\\=\frac{(18)^4}{6^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\$

Factors of $18=2\times 3\times 3=2\times3^2$

Factors of $6=2\times 3$

Replacing terms with factors

$=\frac{(2\times3^2)^4}{(2\times 3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{(2)^4\times(3^2)^4}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\$

Using exponent rule: $(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n}$

$=\frac{(2)^4\times(3)^8}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2}\:.\:3^{3}}$

Using exponent rule: $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$

$=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2+3}}\\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{5}}$

Now using exponent rule: $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

$=2^{4-2}\times 3^{8-5}\\=2^{2}\times 3^{3}\\=4\times 27\\=108$

So, simplifying the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$ we get $\mathbf{108}$

((PLEASE HELP ASAP!! D:)) Natasha bought a tennis racket that was marked down in price, p, by 20%. Write an expression with TWO

kumpel [21]

Answer: p - 0.2p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Original Price of tennis racket = p

Mark down or discount on original price = 20% of original price = (20/100) × p = 0.2p

Amount after discount = Amount paid by Natasha

Amount after discount = Original price - Discount

Amount after discount = p - 0.2p

Amount paid by Natasha = p - 0.2p

Plz help me with this questions and show working out thanks

Paraphin [41]

Answer: The steps and answers to the first two are below but you need to understand slope = change in y / change in x = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

And you need to understand y = mx + c

m= slope c is y intercept

Substitute either point given - only use one as the x and y and find c

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to follow the steps -

the point is given as (2,5) = (x,y)

So what this means is x =2 and y =5

Simple substitutions is the step 5 = 3 x 2 + c

5 = 6 + c or easier to see is c + 6 =5

subtract 6 from both sides c + 6 = 5

-6 -6

__________________

c = -1

x1,y1 x2,y2

( 3,2) and (5,6) are two points on the line

you already calculate the slope which is m = noy2-y1/x2-x1 = 6-2/5-3 = 4/2 = 2

Remember y= mx + c

y = 2 x + c

now substitute in (3,2) which is (x1, y1) into the x and y in your equation

2 = 2 (3) + c

2 = 6 + c

subtract 6 from both sides

-4 = c

Now you should use this and do your last question yourself
