If a line crosses the y-axis at (0,1) and has a slope of 4/5, what is the equation of the line ?

1 answer:

6 0

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0). We are given that the slope is 4/5 and the point (0,1) so we know m=4/5 and b=1 so:

y=4x/5+1 now to rearrange into standard form ax+by=c

y=(4x+5)/5

5y=4x+5

5y-4x=5

So the answer is D.

However, by convention, in standard form, the equation is usually expressed with a positive coefficient for x.

5y-4x=5 SHOULD be expresses so the x has a positive coefficient, divide both sides by -1 and you have the technically correct form:

4x-5y=-5

Apparently whomever/whatever posed this question to you was unaware of this convention :P

A 6 ft tall tent standing next to a cardboard box casts a 15 ft shadow. if the cardboard box casts a shadow that is 6 ft long th

ohaa [14]

What we know is that a 6 foot tall tent casts a 15 foot shadow. Lets represent that given this way: 6 = 15
So, the unknown (y), or what we want to know, is how tall the cardboard box if it has a 6 foot long shadow (noticeably the same height as the tent):
y = 6

6 = 15
y = 6

(6 x 6) / 15 = y
36 / 15 = y
2.4 = y

The height of the cardboard box is 2.4 feet.

Write:<br> 3^-4 in standard form

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{81}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills: Exponents + Fractions</u>

Use the negative exponent property. If your number is x^-y then it would be the same as 1/x^y

3^-4 is the same as $\frac{1}{3^{4}}$

3^4 is 81, so your answer would be 1/81.

Hope you have a nice day and understood this!

A factory makes 1200 shirts every 6 hours.the factory makes shirts for 9 hours a workday. what is the fewest number of workdays

Dominik [7]

1. Divide the target number of shirts, 12,600 by the company's rate of making the shirts. That is,
number of hours = 12,600 shirts/ (1200 shirts/6 hours)
= 63 hours
2. Determine the number of workdays for them to complete the shirts by dividing 63 hours by 9 hours/workday. This will give us an answer of 7 workdays.
