Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -6 - -5)/( -1 - -3)

   = ( -6+5)/( -1+3)

   =-1/ 2

Examine the linear table to find the slope, y-intercept, and write the equation for this linear relationship ​. NEED HELP PLEASE
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{3} x + 17  

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows a set of x and y values, thus showing a set of points we can use to find the equation.

1) First, find the slope by using two points and substituting their x and y values into the slope formula, \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. I chose (-3, 13) and (0,17), but any two points from the table will work. Use them for the formula like so:

\frac{(17)-(13)}{(0)-(-3)} \\= \frac{17-13}{0+3} \\= \frac{4}{3}

Thus, the slope is \frac{4}{3}.

2) Next, identify the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis. All points on the y-axis have a x value of 0. Thus, (0,17) must be the y-intercept of the line.

3) Finally, write an equation in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format. Substitute the m and b for real values.

The m represents the slope of the equation, so substitute it for \frac{4}{3}. The b represents the y-value of the y-intercept, so substitute it for 17. This will give the following answer and equation:

y = \frac{4}{3} x + 17

Rearrange the equation so u is the independent variable,<br> 4u + 8w = -3u + 2w<br><br> W=
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

w=-1.16u

Step-by-step explanation:

first you want to put the W's on one side and the U's on the other. we can do this by subtracting 4u from the left side and the right side making the equations 8w=-7u+2w.

next we want to subtract 2w from both sides making the equation 6w=-7u then we divide by 6 to get w=-1.16u

Solve 25^2x+1 = 144
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

X = 0.272

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, use a common log on the 25 to undo it. Secondly, use the log25(144) on the other side to get ~ 0.54. Move the 1 over with subtraction and then divide out the 2. This will leave you with X= 0.272
