Answer:

9 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

If each of the 17 people will eat 1/2 of a cake, you would 17*1/2 cakes. This is 17/2, or 8.5. You cannot usually order 8.5 cakes, so you would round up. 9 cakes.

Answer:

10x^3 - 2x^2 -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract polynomials, you want to subtract the biggest exponent from the first polynomial to the second

so 6x^3 + 4x^3 and that would be 10x^3

then -3x^2 + x^2 and the negative is larger so it would be -2x^2

and finally -2 + -5 and that is -7

hope this helps! :)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-4, 6)?

olganol [36]

Answer:

The equation of the line is.

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given points are (0, -4) and (-4, 6)

The equation of the line passing through the points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is.

$\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}$

Thus, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-4, 6) is

$\frac{x-0}{(-4)-0}=\frac{y-(-4)}{6-(-4)}$

$\frac{x}{-4}=\frac{y+4}{6+4}$

$-\frac{x}{4}=\frac{y+4}{10}$

$-\frac{10x}{4}=y+4$

$-10x=4(y+4)$

$-10x=4y+16$

$4y=-10x-16$

The above equation is divided by 2 both sides.

$2y=-5x-8$

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x-4$

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (-4, 6) is $y=-\frac{5}{2}x-4$
