Describe and correct the error in writing an equation of the line shown

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rudiy272 years ago

Answer:

y  = -\frac{3}{5}x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(x_1,y_1) = (0,4)

(x_2,y_2) = (5,1)

The attachment completes the question

From the attachment, the slope of the line was calculated as:

m = \frac{1-4}{0-5}

This step is inaccurate because the slope of a line is calculated using

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Which gives

m = \frac{1-4}{5-0}

m = \frac{-3}{5}

m = -\frac{3}{5}

The line equation is then calculated using:

y -y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Substitute values for m, x1 and y1

y - 4 = -\frac{3}{5}(x - 0)

y - 4 = -\frac{3}{5}(x)

Open bracket

y - 4 = -\frac{3}{5}x

Make y the subject

y  = -\frac{3}{5}x+4

A dairy sells $3 and $5 ice creams. In one day they sell 50 ice creams earning a total of $180. How many of each type of ice cre
murzikaleks [220]
We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream

Equation1 ----            x + y = 50   (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ----          3x + 5y = 180  Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides.  (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter).       Now we have x= ₋ y +50  (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50

3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180   
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1  is  x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50    Now subtract 15 from both sides  x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5  = +  <u>75
</u>               $180

A circle has an initial radius of 50 ft when the radius begins decreasing at the rate of 5 5 ​ft/min. What is the rate in the ch
gavmur [86]

Answer:

  -816.8 ft²/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of area is the product of the rate of change of radius and the circumference of the circle. At the time of interest, ...

  dA/dt = C·dr/dt = 2πr·dr/dt

  dA/dt = 2π·(26 ft)(-5 ft/min)

  dA/dt = -260π ft²/min ≈ -816.8 ft²/min
