Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 3x + 4 ← is the equation of a parallel line

A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x + 5)x = 104

Art [367]

Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the quadratic formula, that is ax2+bx+c=0

Where

$x=\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2a}$

For the given equation x2+5x-104=0 we have

a=1, b=5, c= -104

If you solve that, we will have x=-13. x=8, two answers,

The first one, by being negative does not have physical sense (there are no negatives quantities when you measure the length of something)

So we use the anwser x=8

Define a variable and write an equation to model each situation. Then solve. Show your work. Tickets to the county fair for four

Citrus2011 [14]

If x is the childrens ticket
$4(x + 1.5) + 5x = 33.30 \\ 4x + 6 + 5x = 33.3 \\ 9x = 33.3 - 6 \\ 9x = 27.3 \\ x = \frac{27.3}{6} \\ x = 4.55$
so that means that the adults ticket is
$x + 1.50 = 4.55 + 1.50 = 6.05$

What is the equation for calculating the electrical force, Fe, between two charges? Fe = kStartfraction q Subscript 1 baseline t

umka21 [38]

Answer:

$F=\frac{K Q1Q2}{d^2} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to coulombs law "the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges Q1 and Q2 in a given medium is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them"

$F=\frac{K Q1Q2}{d^2} \\$

where

k = constant of proportionality ( $9.05*10^9$ )
