Y=-5/2+13

Graphing it out is probably the easiest way to learn

Here’s the explanation:

y=Mx +b

They gave us the slope (m) and a point.

Once you plug the point and solve you will find b.

8=-5/2(2)+b
b=8+5
b=13.

y= -5/2x+13

Graphing it will kill your time...

2 x - 5 + 7 y - 3 = 9 x - 1 - y -8 Solve For X AND Y (SHOW WORK PLEASE)

Maru [420]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sf x = \frac{8y+1}{7} }$

$\large\boxed{\sf x = \frac{7x-1}{8} }$

Group the Variable's:

2 x - 5 + 7 y - 3 = 9 x - 1 - y -8

2x -9x + 7y +y = -1 -8 +5 + 3

-7x + 8y = -1

From this find x and y

For X

-7x + 8y = -1

-7x = -1 -8y

7x = 8y + 1

x = (8y +1)/7

For Y

-7x + 8y = -1

8y = -1 +7x

y = (7x -1)/8

What is the image point of (1,-1)(1,−1) after a translation left 4 units and down 5 units?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The new point would be (-3,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this it is nice to graph the first point at (1,-1). Then move the point left 4 units, making x -3. and then 5 units down, which would make y -6.

The area of a triangle is 30 square feet. If the base is 4 feet, then what is the height?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Height=15

Explanation:
Area of a triangle= 1/2base x height
Plug in information
30=1/2 x 4 x h
Solve 1/2 x 4 = 2
30= 2 x h
Divide both side by two
30/2=2 x h/2
Solve:
15= h
