-1/3(px-2) = 9

ok! so first we want to isolate x.

multiply both sides by -3/1 (this is the reciprocal of -1/3)

(px-2) = -27

px = -27 + 2

px = -25

x = -25/p

hope this helped!

The altitude (i.e., height) of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at

aksik [14]

The formula for the area of a triangle is
$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$
$\rightarrow\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(b\frac{dh}{dt}+h\frac{db}{dt})$

We are given:
$\frac{dh}{dt}=2$
$\frac{dA}{dt}=4.5$
$h=9.5$
$A=92$

Plug in:
$4.5=\frac{1}{2}(b*2+9.5\frac{db}{dt})$
We can find $b$ with:
$A=\frac{1}{2}bh\rightarrowb=\frac{2A}{h}=\frac{2*92}{9.5}=\frac{184}{9.5}$
So $4.5=\frac{1}{2}(2*\frac{184}{9.5}+9.5\frac{db}{dt})$
$\rightarrow9=\frac{368}{9.5}+9.5\frac{db}{dt}$
$\rightarrow9-\frac{368}{9.5}=9.5\frac{db}{dt}$
$\rightarrow\frac{db}{dt}=\frac{9-\frac{368}{9.5}}{9.5}\approx-3.130$

So the base is decreasing at a rate of 3.130 cm/minute.

Which equation describes this graph?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

m=(-1-9)/(-3-2)

m=10/-5

m=-2

y=-2x+b

9=-2*-3+b

9=b+6

b=3

y=-2x+3
