Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use rise/run. The rise (y values) goes from 5 to -3. You subtract 8 for this. The run (x values) goes from 2 to 8. You add 6 for this. the proportion is -8/6, which can be simplified to -4/3.

Therefore, the slope is -4/3!

Hope I helped!!!!!!

Which expression is equivalent to sqrt128x^5y^6/2x^7y^5 ? Assume x 0 and y > 0.

kolbaska11 [484]

<u>Answer:</u>

$\frac{8\sqrt{y} }{x}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression and we are to simplify it:

$\sqrt {\frac {128x^5y^6} {2x^7y^5} }$

To make it easier to solve, we can also write this expression as:

$\sqrt {\frac{128}{2} * \frac {x^5} {x^7} * \frac {y^6} {y^5}}$

Now we will cancel out the like terms to get:

$\sqrt {64*\frac{1} {x^2}*y }$

Taking the square root of the terms to get:

$8*\frac {1}{x} .\sqrt{y}$

$\frac{8\sqrt{y} }{x}$

Solve the following system using substitution.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

3. By substitution method, let's substitute $\frac{2}{3}x- 4$ for y in the first equation.

Thus,

$\frac{1}{3}x + 2(\frac{2}{3}x- 4) = 1$

Solve for x

$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{4x}{3} - 4 = 1$

Add 4 to both sides

$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{4x}{3} - 4 + 4 = 1 + 4$

$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{4x}{3} = 5$

$\frac{x + 4x}{3} = 5$

$\frac{5x}{3} = 5$

Multiply both sides by 3

$\frac{5x}{3}*3 = 5*3$

$5x = 15$

Divide both sides by 5

$x = 3$

Now, substitute 3 for x in the equation.

$y = \frac{2}{3}x- 4$

$y = \frac{2}{3}(3) - 4$

$y = 2 - 4$

$y = -2$

The solution of the equation is x = 3, y = -2

4. Solving by elimination, let's try to eliminate the x-variable by adding both equation together.

$3x - 2y = 11$

$-3x - y = 4$

$-3y = 15$ => $(-3x +(-3x) = 0; -2y +(-y) = -3y; 11 + 4 = 15)$

Divide both sides by -3 to solve for y

$\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{15}{-3}$

$y = -5$

Substitute -5 for y in the first equation to find x

$3x - 2(-5) = 11$

$3x + 10 = 11$

Subtract 10 from both sides

$3x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10$

$3x = 1$

Divide both sides by 3

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

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

The solution is $x = \frac{1}{3}, y = -5$

you take 30% and 10% and turn them into decimal like so:

30/100=0.3

10/100=0.1

400.00(0.3)=120.00

120(0.1)=12
