Answer:

m=2 and b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is organized in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

When given the equation, y=2x-8, we can see that 2 is in the place of m and -8 is in the place of b. The reason the y-intercept isn't 8 is that y=2x-8 can be written as y=2x+(-8) since y=mx+b involves addition. Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -8.

m=2 and b=-8

I hope this helps!

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$3x+2 \ne x^2 \ne 2x$ for $x = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Triangle

Dimension: 3x + 2, x^2 and 2x

$x = 4$

Required

Determine if it has equal sides

To do this, we simply substitute 4 for x in the given dimensions

<u>3x + 2</u>

$3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2$

$3x + 2 = 12 + 2$

$3x + 2 = 14$

<u>x^2 </u>

$x^2 = 4^2$

$x^2 = 16$

<u>2x</u>

<u></u> $2x = 2 * 4$ <u></u>

$2x = 8$

$3x+2 \ne x^2 \ne 2x$ for $x = 4$

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The pressure is $20\ psi$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form $y*x=k$ or $y=k/x$

In this problem we have

$V*P=k$

where

V is the volume of a gas at a constant temperature

P is the pressure

we have

For $V=100\ in^{3}$ , $P=25\ psi$

step 1

Find the value of k

substitute the values of V and P

$100*25=k$

$k=2,500$

The equation is equal to $V*P=2,500$

step 2

Find the pressure when the volume is 125 cubic inches

For $V=125\ in^{3}$

substitute in the equation and solve for P

$125*P=2,500$

$P=2,500/125=20\ psi$
