Answer:

x + 5y - 25 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:

$y = mx + b \\ \\ plug \: m = - \frac{1}{5} \: \: and \: \: b = 5 \\ \\ y = - \frac{1}{5} x + 5 \\ \\ 5y = - x + 25 \\ \\ x + 5y - 25 = 0$

Which equation has the least steep graph?

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+6$ is the least steeped graph

The greater the slope, the steeper the line.
Also you use the absolute values of the slopes when determining the steepness.

So here it would be: $\frac{3}{4},7,\frac{1}{4},2$
Now, arrange them from least to greatest: $\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},2,7$

As you can see, $\frac{1}{4}$ is the smallest number/slope.

Hope this helps!

Travelling with a current, a boat covers a distance 1.5times greater than travelling against the current in the same amount of t

slega [8]

Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph

Help me with the problem please!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor red to blue meaning 42 to 7

42÷7=6

Scale factor is 6

Perimeter of the blue quadrilateral = ?

If perimeter of red = 204

Then we use this following proportion

$204 \div 42 = x \div 7$

$\frac{204}{42} = \frac{x}{7}$

Then we cross multiply

42x=7×204

42x=1428

x=34

Area of the blue quadrilateral = ?

If area of the red quadrilateral = 2880

Then we use the following proportion

$2880 \div 42 = x \div 7$

$\frac{2880}{42} = \frac{x}{7}$

Then we cross multiply

42x=2880×7

42x=20160

x=480
