hi there! here's my answer for you...
Answer:
<em>slope</em>:
m = -3/4
<em>y-intercept</em>:
y = −3x/4 + 9/4
hope this helped. have a good one!
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
A^2 + b^2= c^2
(a,b,c are right triangle sides)
You can use c^2 = a^2 + b^2 to solve for the length of the other leg. Just substitute the values to the variable then transpose to get the value of the missing variable.
Given: a = 13; c = 21
Required: b - other leg
Solution:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
21^2 = 13^2 + b^2
441 = 169 + b^2
b^2 = 272
