Answer:
y= 6/5x + 2
If you substitute the points (5,8) you get:
8 = 6/5 × 5 + 2
8 = 6 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the graph of 13y + kx = 4 and the line containing the points (5, -8) and (2, 4) are parallel.
We find the slope of parallel line using two given points
(5, -8) and (2, 4)
Slope formula is
so slope = -4
Slope of any two parallel lines are always equal
Lets find the slope of the equation 13y + kx = 4
Subtract kx on both sides
13 y = -kx + 4
Divide both sides by 13
Now slope = -k/13
We know slope of parallel lines are same
So the slope of 13y + kx = 4 is also -4
Hence we equation the slope and find out k
Multiply by 13 on both sides and divide by -1
k = 52
the value of k = 52
1. I feel the need to explain things first before I write the numeric value.
Let x be the total number of students in the school. 25% of this value is given to be 35.
(0.25)x = 35
The value of x is 140. 75% of this value is the answer which is equal to 105.
2. Let y be the alternative schools. With this, the number of charter schools is 2x - 6 which is equal to 52
2x - 6 = 52
The value of x is 29. Therefore, there are 29 charter schools.
Explanation:
It helps to understand the process of multiplying the binomials. Consider the simple case ...
(x +a)(x +b)
The product is ...
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x + ab
If the <em>constant</em> term (ab) is <em>negative</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) are <em>different</em>.
If the constant term (ab) is <em>positive</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) will both match the sign of the coefficient of the linear term (a+b).
___
Of course, the sum (a+b) will have the sign of the (a) or (b) value with the largest magnitude, so when the signs of (a) and (b) are different, the factor with the largest magnitude will have the sign of (a+b), the x-coefficient.
<u>Example</u>:
x² -x -6
-6 tells you the factors will have different signs. -x tells you the one with the largest magnitude will be negative.
-6 = -6×1 = -3×2 = ... (other factor pairs have a negative factor with a smaller magnitude)
The sums of these factor pairs are -5 and -1. We want the factor pair that has a sum of -1, the coefficient of x in the trinomial.
x² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
