Answer:
y = (-7/3)x - 26/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of a line given two points, we can first define an equation of a line to be y= mx +b, with m being the slope and b being the y intercept.
To calculate the slope, we can use the formula (change in y)/(change in x), or
(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁). If we define (-2, -4) as point 1 (meaning -2 is x₁ and -4 is y₁) and (-8, 10) as point 2 (it doesn't matter which point is point 1/2), we can say that the slope is equal to
(10-(-4)) / (-8-(-2)
= 14/(-6)
= -7/3
Therefore, our formula so far is
y = (-7/3)x + b
To figure out b, we can plug in a point, e.g. (-8, 10) and solve for b. Plugging this in, we get
10 = (-7/3)(-8) + b
10 = 56/3 + b
subtract 56/3 from both sides
10 - 56/3 = b
= 30/3 - 56/3
= -26/3
Therefore, our equation is
y = (-7/3)x - 26/3
Answer:
a = 13
b = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Conjugate of -3 + 2i is -3 - 2i
(-3 + 2i) (-3 - 2i)
We need to expand:
9 + 6i + -6i + -4i^2
-4i^2 =(-4)(-1) = 4
9 + 4 = 13
a = 13
b = 0
28 men are needed to paint the room in 3 hours
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that it takes 12 hours for 7 men to paint a room
We are asked to find number of men required to paint the room in 3 hours
Recognize, "paint the room" is 1 task. One job.
7 men -------- 12 hours ------ 1 job
(7/7) = 1 men ------- 12 x 7 (84) ------- same 1 job
The one men is rate is 84 hours to do the job
We can express this as 1/84 jobs per hour, the one-person rate
Now lets find how many men needed to paint the room in 3 hours
Let the required number of men for 3 hours be "a"
The rates of each person is simply additive.
corresponds to rate x hours = jobs and "a" is a variable for how many men
Thus 28 men are needed to paint the room in 3 hours
