Answer:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 79

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • b is the y-intercept

∵ The slope of the line is -5

∴ m = -5

∵ The form of the equation is y = m x + b

→ Substitute the values of m in the form of the equation

∴ y = -5x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of any point on the line

∵ The line passes through the point (18, -11)

∴ x = 18 and y = -11

∵ -11 = -5(18) + b

∴ -11 = -90 + b

→ Add 90 to both sides to find b

∵ -11 + 90 = -90 + 90 + b

∴ 79 = b

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = -5x + 79

∴ The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 79

Lupe and her friends spend $20 on hot dogs and popcorn at a
vodomira [7]

Answer:

They buy 6 hotdogs and 5 popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that they buy x hotdogs and y popcorn

∵ They buy a total of 11 hotdogs and popcorn

∵ The number of hotdogs is x and the number of popcorn is y

∴ x + y = 11 ⇒ (1)

∵ Hot dogs cost $2.50 each

∵ Popcorn costs $1.00 each

∵ They spend $20 on hot dogs and popcorn

→ Multiply x by 2.5 and y by 1, add the products and equate the sum by 20

∴ 2.5(x) + 1(y) = 20

∴ 2.5x + y = 20 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

→ Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

∵ (2.5x - x) + (y - y) = (20 - 11)

∴ 1.5x + 0 = 9

∴ 1.5x = 9

→ Divide both sides by 1.5 to find x

∴ x = 6

→ Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 6 + y = 11

→ Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ 6 - 6 + y = 11 - 6

∴ y = 5

∴ They buy 6 hotdogs and 5 popcorn

How to solve this system of equal: x+y+z=1;x^2+y^2+z^2=1
swat32

There are infinitely many solutions.

Algebraically, we can eliminate z and try to solve for x,y:

x+y+z=1\implies z=1-x-y

Then

x^2+y^2+(1-x-y)^2=1

\implies x^2+y^2+1-2x+x^2-2y+y^2+2xy=1

\implies x^2-x+y^2-y+xy=0

which is the equation of an ellipse.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, plot the points on graph paper which you can find on the internet. The first number in the ordered pair, (the ones in parenthesis), is the x coordinate. The other number is the y coordinate. Put these onto a graph which is attached. The perimeter is 26.
