Find an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points (-5, -9) and (2,-7)

Mathematics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

y=0.3x - 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

line: y=ax+b

a= Δy ÷ Δx

a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)

a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3

y=0.3x + b

Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).

0.3 × 2 + b = -7

0.6 + b = -7

b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6

So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6

On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.

Problem 33

For each number, generate a factor tree. This is where you break a number down into smaller factors in a visual "tree" like style. The idea is to factor down to the prime factors and then you circle the common primes between each number. The values you circle are then multiplied if you circle more than one value in each tree.

Problem 34

Xiao factored correctly but didn't pull out the GCF. So he didn't factor fully. In the case of 60 and 90, the GCF is 30. This is the largest shared factor between the two values. So we can pull out 30 to get
60+90 = 30*2+30*3 = 30*(2+3)

I'm basically using the distributive property in reverse. You can distribute the 30 back in and get 60+90 again. Notice how the inner stuff 2 and 3 have no factors in common other than 1.

Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?
marusya05 [52]
Question:- Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?

Answer:-

Set up a proportion.

12/48 = 1/x

Cross multiply.

12*x = 12x
48*1 = 48

12x = 48

12x/12 = 48/12 

x= 48/12
x= 4

Now, we have our final answer. x = 4

Final answer:- Alana bikes 4 miles per minute.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: No. The intervals defined by the margin or error overlap

Step-by-step explanation:

If we think about it, with the worst margins, 55% could be 48% and then the 45% would be 52%, showing there is no clear yes or no and it is possible that the intervals could overlap
