Find the equation of the line between the points (10, – 5) and ( - 2,0).

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, m  = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}

Thus, the slope of the line is -\frac{5}{12}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{12} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}

I have 10 bags of potatoes each containing 15 kg of potatoes. I want to make 50 small bags of potatoes each of the same mass . w
Alona [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the given question

there are 10 bags each have 15kg potatoes so basically, we have 150 kg of poatoes

i want these potatoes to be equally distributed in 50 bags

therefore, mass of potato in 1 bag = total kg's of potatoes÷nuber of bags

mass of potato in 1 bag=150÷50 equals 3 kg

and so, each bag will have mass 3 kg

3 x 5 = 15 Write a related multiplication fact.
Talja [164]

The related multiplication fact to 3 x 5 = 15 is 4 x 3 = 12

<h3>Multiplication Facts</h3>

Given:

3 x 5  =  15

The expression a x b = c means that a is added to itself b times to give c

3x 5 means adding 3 in 5 places

That is:

3 x 5 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3

A related multiplication fact is:

4 x 3 = 12

This is true because:

4 x 3 = 4 + 4  + 4  = 12

Solve 5x – 6y = –38. 3x + 4y = 0 . .
Andrew [12]
3x + 4y = 0
3x = -4y
x = 4y/3

5x - 6y = -38
(5*4y/3) - 6y = -38
(20y/3) - 6y = -38
(20y - 18y) / 3 = -38
2y = -114
y = -57

x = 76
