Answer:

The answer is -8/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make y the subject :

8x + 3y = 9

3y = -8x + 9

y = (-8/3)x + 3

In a linear equation, y = mx + b, m represent gradient (slope). So in this equation the slope is -8/3.

On the graph below are three points X, Y, and Z. Write the coordinates for the given dilation.

Julli [10]

ANSWER

$( - \frac{3}{2} , - 1)$

EXPLANATION

From the graph, the coordinates of Y are:

$(3,2)$

We want to find the image of this point after a dilation by a scale factor of -½ about the origin.

The rule for the dilation is :

$(x,y)\to( - \frac{1}{2} x, - \frac{1}{2} y)$

To find the coordinates of Y', we plug the coordinates of Y.

$Y(3,2)\to \: Y'( - \frac{1}{2} (3), - \frac{1}{2}(2) )$

$Y(3,2)\to \: Y'( - \frac{3}{2}, - 1)$

The first choice is correct.

Lauren says that -3.5 is greater than -3 1/3. Do you agree? Explain.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$-3\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.5 means -(3 + $\frac{1}{2}$ )

In other words, -3.5 = $-3\frac{1}{2}$

When we draw two numbers $-3\frac{1}{3}$ and $-3\frac{1}{2}$ on a number line, $-3\frac{1}{2}$ comes first from left to right.

We know that all the numbers on a number line from left to right are in increasing order.

Therefore, $-3\frac{1}{2}$ is smaller than $-3\frac{1}{3}$ .

$-3\frac{1}{2}$

Lauren is not correct.

Find the values of a and b such that

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve $(x+a)^2$ and replace the result in the initial equation as:

$x^2+3x+4=(x+a)^2+b\\x^2+3x+4=x^2+2ax+a^2+b$

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of $x$ is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

$3x=2ax\\4=a^2+b$

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

$3x=2ax\\3=2a\\a=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

$4=a^2+b\\4=1.5^2+b\\b=4-1.5^2\\b=4-2.25\\b=1.75$
