Answer:

y = -4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the slope intercept formula given by; y = mx + b

b = y intercept, which is when x = 0

m = slope

so they tell us the slope.. we just need to find b - the y intercept.

y = mx + b

plug in your coordinates (-2,1)

1 = -4(-2) + b

1 = 8 + b

1 - 8 = b

-7 = b

put it all together.

y = -4x - 7

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

(5, 11) and (2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x-2)² + 2

y + 4 = 3x

(x-2)² + 2 + 4 = 3x

x² - 4x + 4 + 6 = 3x

x² - 7x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0, x = 5

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

y = (5-2)² + 2 = 11

(5, 11)

y = (2-2)² + 2 = 2

(2, 2)

The 2 main support rods for a barbeque grill are each 7.5 cm from the centre of the

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

58.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of each support rod can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle, such that the distance from centre is one leg and half the length of the rod is the other leg of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the radius of the grill.

<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>

The theorem tells us that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. For legs a, b and hypotenuse c, this is ...

c² = a² +b²

<h3>application</h3>

For the geometry of the grill, we can define a=7.5 and c=30. Then b will be half the length of the support rod.

30² = 7.5 +b²

b² = 900 -56.25 = 843.75

b = √843.75 ≈ 29.0473

The length of each support rod is twice this value, so ...

rod length = 2b = 2(29.0473) = 58.0947

Each support rod is about 58.1 cm long.

shusha [124]

Answer:

6.104 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the bench is 30.52 m.

5 people want to sit down on the bench.

We assume they are seated with equal spacing between themselves.

The length occupied by each person will therefore be:

30.52 / 5 = 6.104 m

One fifth as a percentage

Sidana [21]

When dealing with percentages it is often much easier to convert it to a decimal (mostly because a lot of people are uncomfortable working with fractions) but in this case, I suggest dividing 1 into 5 [hint hint fractions are just glorified division in the long run] and after you have done that multiply by 100. This will get you your answer.
