If one point on a line is (-2,8) and the line’s slope is -3/2 find the y intercept

Mathematics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The y intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is

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

y = -3/2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation and solve for b

8 = -3/2(-2)+b

8 = 3+b

8-3 =b

5=b

The y intercept is 5

Trigonometry, IF answer is delivered on time WILL give BRANLIEST
Lunna [17]

Answer:

x=37°

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

(ASSUMING BD is a perpendicular bisector of AC, otherwise answers maybe be wrong)

Consider the triangle ABC:

AB is the same length as BC (marked), meaning ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Since ABC is isosceles, ∠BAC=∠BCA=53

All angles in a triangle add up to 180:

180=∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA

180= ∠ABC + 53 +53

∠ABC = 180 - 106

∠ABC = 74

Assuming BD bisects ∠ABC perfectly, x is half of ∠ABC.

x=74/2=37

If BD bisects AC perfectly, AD=DC=y=6

Micheal buys two bags or chips and three boxes of pretzels for $5.13 . He then buys another bag of chips and 2 boxes of pretzels
trapecia [35]

Answer:

So a bag of chip costs $2.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of a bag of chip

Let y = cost of a box of pretzel

Micheal buys two bags of chips and three boxes of pretzels for $5.13

This means

2x + 3y = 5.13 - - - - - - - - - -1

He then buys another bag of chips and 2 boxes of pretzels for $3.09

This means

x + 2y = 3.09 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Solving equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously and using the elimination method,

Multiply equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2

2x + 3y = 5.13

2x + 6y = 6.18

Subtracting,

-3y = -1.05

y = -1.05/-3= $0.35

Put y= 0.35 in equation, x + 2y = 3.09

x + 2(0.35)= 3.09

x + 0.7= 3.09

x = 3.09-0.7 = $ 2.39

So a bag of chip costs $2.39

The expression 4x/5-2x/3 is equivalent to what?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(2 x)/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3

Put each term in (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 = (12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15:

(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15

(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15 = (12 x - 10 x)/15:

(12 x - 10 x)/15

12 x - 10 x = 2 x:

Answer: (2 x)/15
