To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .

Please help! asap! i have no idea what it is and it’s worth a lot of points on my test!

I haven’t done math in forever, do you want us to simplify it? Bc it would be 2x+8=-16=4x+6 but I’m not sure

Find the quotient 5/18 divided by 2/6

Gnesinka [82]

5/18 diveded by 2/6 is 5/18*6/2 then its 5/18 * 3 which gives 15/18 or 5/6

Explain how you know 21/100 is greater than 1/5

Nataly_w [17]

This problem can be solved using equivalent fractions. The first step in resolving this problem is to realize that fractions are best compared when they both have the same denominator. In this case, I will choose to make that common denominator 100. There is no need to rewrite the fraction $\frac{21}{100}$ as the denominator for this fraction is already 100. The fraction $\frac{1}{5} =\frac{20}{100}$ . This is achieved by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 20. Now that the two fractions have the same denominator, we can easily see that $\frac{21}{100}$ is greater than $\frac{1}{5}$ because it is greater than its equivalent fraction.

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?

Leya [2.2K]

Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).

First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."

5x+4y=2

-5x -5x (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation)

4y = 2 - 5x

/4 /4 /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself)

y = (1/2) - (5/4)x ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction.

Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).

Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know:

y = 5

m = -(5/4)

x = 7

y=mx+b

5=(-5/4)(7) + b -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.

5 = -(35/4) + b -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4

20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4)

+(35/4) +(35/4) -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b

55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74

Answer:

m = -(5/4)

b = 13.75
