Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x=1/2(2x +7) Multiply both sides by 2

2*6x = 1/2(2x + 7)*2

12x = 2x + 7 Subtract 2x from sides

12x-2x =2x-2x+7

10x = 7 Divide by 10

x = 7/10

x = 0.7

Let's check it

6(0.7) = 4.2

1/2 (2*0.7 + 7)

1/2 (1.4 + 7)

1/2 ( 8.4)

4.2

Both sides check. The answer must be x = 0.7

2. Which is the following equation rewritten in slope-intercept form: -8x = 2 - 2y

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

B, y = 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to get it into y- intercept form we need to write it in the form y = mx + b

-8x = 2 - 2y, move 2y to the other side and -8x to the other side they both become positive.

2y = 8x + 2, dividing each by 2

yields y = 4x + 1

Hope this helps

1. Find the value of x. A. 90 B. 80 C. 60 D. 45

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A 90

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple ways to prove this.

e.g. since the angle between the two lines from the center of the circle to the 2 tangent touching points is 90 degrees (that is the meaning of these 90 degrees here as the angle of the circle segment defined by the 2 tangent touching points and the circle center), the tangents have the same "behavior" as tan and cot = the tangents at the norm circle at 0 and 90 degrees. they hit each other outside of the circle again at 90 degrees.

another way

imagine the two right triangles of the tangents crossing point to the circle center and the tangent/circle touching points.

the Hypotenuse of each triangle is cutting the 90 degree angle of the circle segment exactly in half (due to the symmetry principle). so the angle between radius side and Hypotenuse is 90/2 = 45 degrees.

that means also the angle of such a right triangle at the tangent crossing point is 45 degrees (as the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180, we have the remainder of 180 - 90 - 45 = 45 degrees).

the angles of both right triangles at that point are the same, and so we can add 45+45 = 90 degrees for the total angle at the tangent crossing point.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 2/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.

Zanzabum

Hi there!

The general formula of A line in slope-intercept form is the following:
$y = mx + n$

In this formula m represents the slope of the line. Therefore, we can conclude that m = 2/5.
$y = \frac{2}{5} x + n$

We also know that the line passes through the point (-3, -1) and we can therefore substitute this coordinate into the formula of the line.
x = -3 and y = -1

$- 1 = \frac{2}{5} \times - 3 + n$

Multiply first.
$- 1 = - 1\frac{1}{5} + n$

And finally add 1 1/5 to both sides of the equation.
$\frac{1}{5} = n$

We can now switch sides.
$n = \frac{1}{5}$

Now we've found our value of n, which we can substitute into the formula of our line. Hence, in slope-intercept form, we find the following:
$y = \frac{2}{5} x + \frac{1}{5}$
