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!

Use the point (-6,-8) to give the six trigonometric functions

vfiekz [6]

You can't exactly get the trigonometric functions using a point unless it's a vector,

so tanx = -8/-6 = 4/3 and from it we can get the other functions

sinx = -4/5
cosx = -3/5
secx = -5/3
cscx = -5/4
cotx = 3/4

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAP PLEASEEEE!!!

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.

This means that their sides are proportional to each other.

We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.

The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:

$\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{DF}$

Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:

$\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{15}{5}$

Reduce the right:

$\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{3}{1}$

Cross multiply:

$x=11.4$

So, the value of x is 11.4

And we're done!

What is 5a + 2/3= -1/6 with two step equations fractions

Natalija [7]

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5a+2/3=-1/6

5a=-1/6-2/3

5a=-1/6-4/6

5a=-5/6

a=(-5/6)/5

a=(-5/6)(1/5)

a=-5/30

simplify

a=-1/6

Darren has gotten 2 offers for jobs in the alternative energy industry. offer #1 pays $31,000 per year with 2,000 raise each yea

katovenus [111]

Answer: Darren

A) Job Offer #1 would be better financially until job offer 2 (in 12 years) would be a better and have more income, so IMO job offer #1 would set you better off financially

B) it would take 12 years for job offer #2 to become a better offer (you can also express this in your own words if needed)
