What is the equation of a line that goes through the point (0, -5) and has a slope of -3?

Answer:

y = -3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is given as either:

y = mx + b  where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

or

y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )  where given that you have a point (x, y), y₁ is the y-value of the point, m is the slope, and x₁ is the x-value of the point.

We can just plug in the point (0, -5) into the second equation and -3 for the slope.

<em>However,</em> (0, -5) tells us that this point must be a <u>y-intercept</u>, since the x-value of that point is 0. So, we can also just plug into the first equation -5 for the y-intercept and -3 for the slope.

So, we get:

y = -3x + (-5)

Which simplifies into:

y = -3x - 5

Two tailors, Valentina and Laura, sit down to do some embroidery. Valentina can embroider 2 shirts per hour, and Laura can get t
mina [271]

Answer:

Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in 4 hours.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina =23

Total number of shirts finished by Laura =23

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in t hours.

Valentina can embroider 2 shirts per hour and Valentina has already completed 15 shirts.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina =2t+15

Laura can get through 3 shirts per hour and Laura has completed 11 shirts.

Total number of shirts finished by Laura =3t+11

Therefore,

2t+15=3t+11\\3t-2t=15-11\\t=4

So,

Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in 4 hours.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina =2(4)+15=8+15=23

Total number of shirts finished by Laura =3(4)+11=12+11=23

If 3m+2n=16 and m−2n=0, then what is the value of m?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

m= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3m +2n= 16 -----(1)

m -2n= 0 -----(2)

From (2):

m= 2n -----(3) (+2n on both sides)

subst. (3) into (1):

3(2n) +2n= 16

6n +2n= 16

8n= 16 (simplify)

n= 16 ÷8

n= 2

subst. n=2 into (3):

m= 2(2)

m= 4

5x-(x+3)=1/3 (9x+18)-5<br> Please show me step by step
zzz [600]

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(x+3)=1/3(9x+18)-5

5x-x+3=3x+6-5

1/3 multiplied by 9/1 is three because if you take away the ones and put your problem like this: 9/3, you'll get 3.

1/3 multiplied by 18/1 is six because if you take away the ones and switch to division, it'll look like this: 18/3. 18/3 is 6.

5x-1x+3=3x+6-5

If a variable is alone, you should - in this case - put a one before it, but if the variable is alone you should know that it's automatically a one.

4x+3=3x-1

6-5=1 Simple math problem, probably self explanatory

4x+3=3x-1

Subtract 3x from 4x and you'll get 1x because 4-3 is 1.

1x+3=-1

Then you add 3 to -1 which is 2.

The answer is 1x=2

Or you could've done:

4x+3=3x-1

-4x    -4x

    3=-1x-1

 +-1    +-1

2=1x

It's the same answer, but all I did was subtract the 4x from the 4x and 3x.
