Answer:

4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 8) = 21

3x + 8 = 21

3x = 13

x = 13/3

x = 4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8

2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

2. Each of the following lines has a slope that can be determined by examining the graph. Use another point
Natali [406]

The slope, y-intercept and the equation of the following graph are as follows:

1(a)

slope : 1

y-intercept: 2

Equation: y = x + 2

(b)

slope : -  1 / 3

y-intercept: - 1

Equation: y = - 1 / 3x - 1

2.

(a)

slope : 3 / 4

y-intercept: 5 / 4

Equation: y = 3 / 4 x + 5 / 4

(b)

slope : - 3 / 2

y-intercept: 1 / 2

Equation: y = - 3 / 2 x + 1 / 2  

<h3 />

<h3>Slope intercept equation</h3>
  • y = mx + b

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Therefore lets find the slope, y-intercept and equation of the following graph.

1.

(a)

(0, 2)(1, 3)

m = 3 - 2 / 1 - 0 = 1

b = 2

y = x + 2

(b)

(0, -1)(-3, 0)

m = 0 + 1 / -3 - 0 = - 1 / 3

b = -1

y = - 1 / 3x - 1

2.

(a)

(1, 2)(-3, -1)

m = -1 - 2 / -3 - 1 = 3 / 4

2 = 3 / 4 (1) + b

b = 2 - 3 / 4  = 5 / 4

y = 3 / 4 x + 5 / 4

3.

(b)

(-3, 5)(1, -1)

m = - 1 - 5 / 1 + 3 = - 6 / 4 = - 3 / 2

-1 = - 3 /2 (1) + b

b = -1 + 3 / 2 = 1 /2

y = - 3 / 2 x + 1 / 2

If r = 9,6 = 5, and g = -6, what does (r+b-9) (b+g) equal?
devlian [24]

Answer:

-5

Explanation:

First, expand.

r + b - 9 × b + g.

If r = 9, b = 5, and g = -6, this would be the answer:

9(r) + 5(b) - 9 = 5

×

5(b) + -6(g) = -1

5 × -1 = -5
