Answer:
x= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving through linear equation,
-0.1x + 3/10= 4/10
Bring 3/10 to the other side making it minus
-0.1x = 4/10 - 3/10
-0.1x = (4-3)/10
-0.1x= 1/10
Bring -0.1 to the other side n divide
x= 1/10 ÷ -0.1
( Note that -0.1 is the same as -1/10)
x = 1/10 ÷ -1/10
= 1/10*-10/1
= -10/10
= -1
Complete Question:
If the point (2, 5) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, then determine the missing values of b and m. Show how you arrive at your answer.
1. y = 3x + b
2. y = mx + 9
Answer:
1. Intercept, b = -1
2. Slope, m = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Points on the line (x, y) = (2, 5)
To find the missing values;
Mathematically, the equation of a straight line is given by the formula;
y = mx + b
Where;
- m is the slope.
- x and y are the points
- b is the intercept.
1. y = 3x + b
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = 3(2) + b
5 = 6 + b
b = 5 - 6
<em>Intercept, b = -1</em>
2. y = mx + 9
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = m(2) + 9
5 = 2m + 9
2m = 5 - 9
2m = -4
m = -4/2
<em>Slope, m = -2</em>
Okay so basically it's like 4 to the power of 5 and like that and the • means multiply
