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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rudiy273 years ago
6 0

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

Can someone please help?

60 ≥ 35 + 5t

<u>-35 </u><u> </u><u>-35 </u>

<u>25</u> ≥ <u>5t</u>

5 5

t≤5

his mistake was that he used ≤ for at least instead of using ≥. so at end, when I solved, I saw that Sven should spend 5 minutes or less on each scale.

Find the measure of the indicated angle.<br> Please can you help?<br> I need to show work.
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

64°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠RQP = 46°

∠PRQ = 180° - 110° = 70°

∠PRQ + ∠RQP + <u>∠RPQ</u> = 180°

70° + 46 + <u>∠RPQ</u> = 180°

116° + <u>∠RPQ</u> = 180°

Find <u>∠RPQ</u>

<u>∠RPQ</u> = 180° - 116° = 64°

Solve the system with elimination 4x+3y=1 -3x-6y=3
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x = 1, y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the two equations:

4x+3y=1 and -3x - 6y = 3, we can look at which variable will be easiest to eliminate.

y looks like it might be easy to get rid of, we just have to multiply 4x+3y=1  by 2 and y is gone (as -6y + 6y = 0).

So let's multiply the equation 4x+3y=1  by 2.

2(4x + 3y = 1)\\8x + 6y = 2

Now we can add these equations

8x + 6y = 2\\-3x-6y=3\\

------------------------

5x = 5

Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 1.

Now we can substitute x into an equation to find y.

4(1) + 3y = 1\\4 + 3y = 1\\3y = -3\\y = -1

Hope this helped!
