Answer:

an equation of the line L will be: y = 1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the points

  • (0, -2)
  • (6, 1)

Determining the slope between (0, -2) and (6, 1)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:1\right)

m=\frac{1-\left(-2\right)}{6-0}

m=\frac{1}{2}

The y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

From the point (0, -2), we can determine that at x = 0, the value of y = -2.

Thus,

The y-intercept b = -2

now substituting b = -2 and m = 1/2 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y = 1/2x + -2

y = 1/2x - 2

Therefore, an equation of the line L will be: y = 1/2x - 2

-26 times a number minus 22 is equal to 90 less than the number.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

x = \frac{68}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

  1. Write it out: -26x - 22 = x - 90
  2. Combine like terms: -27x + 68 = 0
  3. Subtract 68 from each side, so it now looks like this: -27x = -68
  4. Divide each side by -27 to cancel out the -27 next to x. It should now look like this: x = \frac{68}{27}  

I hope this helps!

Find the area of the composite figure and round the nearest tenth
Monica [59]

Answer:

The area of the composite figure is 1360 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should split up the composite figure into separate shapes.

So to find area of the triangle all the way on the left, you multiply base x height then divide by 2.

<u>30 x 34 = 1020 ÷ 2 = 520.</u>

Then, moving on to next shape, we can break up the trapezoid into a rectangle and a triangle.

To find area of the rectangle you multiply length x width.

<u>16 x 30 = 480.</u>

Finally, we have the last triangle right above the rectangle. Keep in mind that the rectangle does not have a length of 40!

You have to subtract 40 - 16 which equals 24.

<u>30 x 24 = 720 ÷ 2 = 360.</u>

Now that we have all 3 numbers, we simply add them all together and you will get an answer of 1360 ft.

Remember to label your answer!

What are the factors of the expression x^2+x-20?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

(x-4)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 numbers knowing sum (1) and product (-20). To find them, factor pairs of (-20) --> (-2,10) (-4,5). This sum is 1=b. Then, these 2 numbers are: - 4 and 5. Y=(x-4) (x+5). Hope this helped :)
