Answer:
- slope = 3/2
- y-intercept = 3
- x-intercept = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is of the form ...
y = (something).
Here, we can put the equation in that form by subtracting 12x and dividing by the coefficient of y:
12x -8y = -24 . . . . . given
-8y = -12x -24 . . . . .subtract 12x
y = 3/2x +3 . . . . . . . divide by -8
This is the "slope-intercept" form of the equation. Generically, it is written ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
So, the above equation answers two of your questions:
slope = 3/2
y-intercept = 3
__
The x-intercept is found fairly easily from the original equation by setting y=0:
12x = -24
x = -24/12 = -2 . . . . . the x-intercept
_____
A graph of the equation can also show you these things. The graph shows a rise of 3 units for a run of 2, so the slope is rise/run = 3/2. The line crosses the axes at x=-2 and y=3, the intercepts.
Answer:
The area of the copper circle is <u>31.4 inches</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
An artist used silver wire to make a square that has a perimeter of 40 inches.
She then used copper wire to make the largest circle that could fit in the square, with perimeter of 40 inches.
Use 3.14 to represent π.
Now, to find the area of the copper circle.
Perimeter of square = 40 inches.
So, we get the side of square by putting formula:
Dividing both sides by 4 we get:
Now, as the side of square is 10 inches it is the diameter of the circle as the square is fit inside the circle:
For getting the area of circle we find the radius:
Radius (r) =
Now, putting the formula to get the area of the circle:
Therefore, the area of the copper circle is 31.4 inches.
