Answer:

y = -2/3x + 23/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equation of the line be y = mx + c

m = (3-5)/(7-4) = -2/3 gradient/slope formula

sub (4, 5)

5 = -2/3 (4) + c

c = 23/3

therefore, equation of the line is y = -2/3x + 23/3

Hope it helps! :)

Which of the following correctly justifies statement 4 of the two-column proof?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

D.Transitive property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that segment JK is parallel to segment LM

We have to prove $\angle 3=\angle 6$

We have to find which option correctly justifies the statement 4 of the two - column proof.

1.Statement : JK is parallel to segment LM

Reason: Given

2. $\angle 7\cong \angle 6$

Reason: Vertical angles theorem

3. $\angle 3\cong \angle 7$

Reason:Corresponding angles theorem

4. $\angle 3\cong \angle 6$

Reason: Transitive property of equality.

If a=b and b=c then a=c

Hence, option D is true.

Solve with completing the square method:<br>6x²-7x+2=0 and ax²+bx+c=0

Norma-Jean [14]

$6x ^2-7x+2=0\\ \\ a=6 , \ b = -7 , \ c=2 \\ \\\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-7)^{2}-4*6*2=49-48=1 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{7-\sqrt{1}}{2*6}=\frac{7-1}{12} =\frac{6}{12}= \frac{1}{ 2}\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{7+\sqrt{1}}{2*6}=\frac{7+1}{12} =\frac{8}{12}= \frac{2}{ 3}$

Each treasure hunt team will have 5 people. So far 42 people have signed up. How many more people are needed to make every team

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1) 3 more people

2) 9 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisibility rule for 5 is that it must end in 5 and 0

so the next one is 45, so 3 more people

----------------------- ----------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

45/5=9 teams
