Answer:
y=9x+75
Step-by-step explanation:
since we know that the slope must be the same for two lines to be proportional, we are gonna start there.
so our equation is: y= 9x + b
we need to find b to complete our equation, so substitute in the points we were given.
3 = 9(-8) + b
so now,
3 = -72 + b
now we have to isolate b to find out what it is,
3 = -72 + b
+72 +72
so now: 75= b
Put that back into the starting equation: y = 9x + 75
Their answer is correct so you need explanation?
Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to
.
---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the
---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
substitute this value in equation (1) then
where A is the area of the square whose side is x
Jamie's age is n. (given)
Brian's age is 2n. (given)
Half of Brian and Jamie's present age is (n +2n)/2 = 3n/2.
Let m represent Morgan's age now. Then
... m + 8 = 2 + 3n/2 . . . . . in 8 years, Morgan's age will be 2 more than ...
Subtract 8 to find Morgan's present age:
... m = 3n/2 - 6 . . . . Morgan's present age
<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
