Answer:
between 7 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
11. y = -23x - 21
You can get this by starting with y = mx + b (slope intercept form). Then put in all the knowns and solve for the b.
2 = -23(-1) + b
2 = 23 + b
-21 = b
Then add that to the end of the equation with m = -23
12. -5
The y-intercept of an equation is always the number added on at the end of an equation. It is also the number with no x attached to it.
13. 8x^9y^6
When you use the law of exponents, you need to make sure the exponent goes to each individual term. When we cube the 2, it becomes 8. When you cube x^3, you get x^3*x^3*x^3 or x^9. And with y^2 you get y^6
Answer: b = 17
Step-by-step explanation: The figure shows a triangle which upon closer observation is actually two triangles placed one inside the other. We have triangle QTR (the larger one) and triangle PTS (the smaller one).
The line PS is parallel to line QR, so in effect what we have here are two similar triangles. The ratios of similarity can be derived as
Line QT/line TR = line PT/line TS OR
Line QT/line QR = line PT/line PS.
With these ratios in mind we can now write the following expressions from the similar triangles;
QT = 2b + (2b - 17) and
TR = 16 + 8
TR = 24
Hence,
2b/16 = 2b + (2b - 17)/24
(That is, PT/TS = QT/TR)
2b/16 = (4b - 17)/24
By cross multiplication we now have,
2b(24) = 16(4b - 17)
By expanding the brackets we now have
48b = 64b - 272
By collecting like terms, 64b now moves to the left side of the equation and becomes negative
48b - 64b = -272
-16b = -272
Divide both sides of the equation by -16
b = 17
**Note** A negative number divided by another negative number yields a positive answer.
- x + y = 7
y = x + 7
slope = 1
perpendicular slope = -1
at point (-1, -1),
y = mx + c
-1 = -1 (-1) + c
-1 = 1 + c
c = -1 -1
c = - 2
equation:
y = -x -2
y + x = -2 or - x - y = 2
Divide it by 2, since you can make it into a half.
