Answer: y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To first write the equation, we need to find the slope and the y intercept and write it in the form y=mx +b

To find the slope, we will find the difference between the y coordinates and divide it by the difference between the x coordinates.

The y coordinates of the points are , 0 and -2

The x coordinates of the points are -4 and 0

0 - (-2) = 2

-4 -0 = -4

Slope: 2/-4 = -1/2

Now using the formula y=mx+b, you will input the slope and use one of the given point's coordinates to solve for b the y intercept.

We will use the point (0,-2)

-2 = -1/2(0) + b

-2 = b

This means the equation will be y = -1/2x - 2

This Must Only Have One Solution, Because The Right Side Of The Equation Is Just Plainly Ten. Lets Solve This:

5x + 3x - 4 = 10

Add Four To Both Sides To Begin Simplifying.

5x + 3x = 14

Now, Combine Like Terms.

8x = 14

Divide:

8x/8 = 1X = X

14/8

X = 14/8

14/8 = 1.75

X = 1.75

Check:

(5 * 1.75) + (3*1.75) - 4 = 10

8.75 + 5.25 - 4 = 10

14 - 4 = 10

10 = 10.

This Is True, So X Does Equal 1.75

Write the quadratic equation that has roots -1-rt2/3 and -1+rt2/3 if its coefficient with x^2 is equal to 1

weeeeeb [17]

The equation of the quadratic function is f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

<h3>How to determine the quadratic equation?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Roots = (-1 - √2)/3 and (-1 + √2)/3

The quadratic equation is then calculated as

f(x) = The products of (x - roots)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

$f(x) = (x - \frac{-1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(x - \frac{-1+\sqrt{2}}{3})$

This gives

$f(x) = (x + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})(x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})$

Evaluate the products

$f(x) = (x^2 + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3}x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3}x + (\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})$

Evaluate the like terms

$f(x) = x^2 + \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}$

So, we have

f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

Abes apples orchard plants both green apple trees and red apple trees this planting will include 21 red apple trees and 18 green

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The ratio of green apples to red apples is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of red apples = 21

Number of green apples = 18

We have to find out the ratio of green apples to red apples.

Solution,

For finding the ratio we have to divide the number of green apples to the number of red apples.

So, we can frame the above sentence as;

Ratio = number of green apples/number of red apples

Now substituting the values, we get;

Ratio= 18/21 = 6/7

Hence The ratio of green apples to red apples is . 6/7

A total of 1,650 boxes of Girl Scout cookies were sold last week. Each large box cost $3.50 and each small box cost $2.00. The G

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

900 large boxes were sold, and 750 small boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of large boxes of cookies sold.

y is the number of small boxes of cookies sold.

A total of 1,650 boxes of Girl Scout cookies were sold last week.

This means that

$x + y = 1650$

$x = 1650 - y$

Each large box cost $3.50 and each small box cost $2.00. The Girl Scout group earned $4,650.

This means that

$3.5x + 2y = 4650$

Since $x = 1650 - y$

$3.5(1650 - y) + 2y = 4650$

$5775 - 3.5y + 2y = 4650$

$1.5y = 1125$

$y = \frac{1125}{1.5}$

$y = 750$

$x = 1650 - y = 1650 - 750 = 900$

900 large boxes were sold, and 750 small boxes.
