Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

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 = - 2 , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=-2

now using slope intercet formof equation of straight line,we get

y=mx+b

or, y=-2x + b

y + 2x =b

2x + y=b ......................   eq(i)

since the line passes through the point (4,5) it satisfies the equation (i)

y=5 and x=4 so,

equation is 2x +y =b

2*4 + 5=b

8+5=b

13=b

substituting the value of b in eq(i)

2x + y=b

2x + y=13

2x + y-13=0  is the required equation of the line.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: because fractions are out of 100% you do

5%+100%= 105

105 divide by 100 which is equal to 1.05

Step two: it’s says two year so what you do is times the amount by the number you got

Ricardo has read two thirds of a book and Lynn has read 2/4 of the same book who read more
Assoli18 [71]
Well, we know that 2/3 is about equal to .666 and 2/4 equals .5  Since .666 is a greater number, Ricardo read more.

maria [59]
The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft

A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.

Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.

A: 2x + y = 5

y = 5 - 2x

y = -2x + 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.

B: y = 2x + 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.

C: 2x - 4y = 10

-4y = 10 - 2x

-4y = -2x + 10

y = 2/4x -10/4

Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.

D: 2y - 4x = -10

2y = =10 + 4x

2y = 4x - 10

y = 2x - 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts.  The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.


Thus, D is the best choice.
