Write an equation of a line through (2,7.5) with an x-intercept of -1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>y = (5/2)x + 5/2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the given x-intercept are (-1, 0).

As we move to the right from (-1, 0) to (2. 7.5), x increases by 3 and y by 7.5.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 7.5 / 3, or 75 / 30, or 5/2.

Thus, starting from y = mx + b, we have:

7.5 = (5/2)(2) + b, or

7.5 = 5 + b

Thus, b = 2.5, and the equation is

y = (5/2)x + 5/2

check:  Is 7.5 = (5/2)(2) + 5/2 true?

             Is 7.5 = 5 + 5/2 true?  YES

"Raju's father age is 5 years more than three times of Raju's age. Raju's father age is 50 years."​
Lana71 [14]

Let rajus age be x

  • His father=3x+5

ATQ

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto 3x+5=50

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto 3x=50-5

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto 3x=45

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto x=\dfrac{45}{3}

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto x=15

45 + 57 = x + y<br> x= 37<br> y =?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

y = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

45 + 57 = x + y

x = 37

45 + 57 = 37 + y

45 + 57 = 102

102 = 37 + y

102 = 37 + y

-37    -37

102 - 37 = 65

37 + y - 37 = y

65 = y

y = 65

If the perimeter is 98 cm, the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides is 49 cm.

... (2x -1) + (3x +5) = 49 . . . . use the given information and relation

... 5x +4 = 49 . .  . . . . . . . . . simplify

... 5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

... x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The left side dimension is then

... 2x -1 = 2·9 -1 = 17 . . . . cm

The top dimension is

... 3x +5 = 3·9 +5 = 32 . . . . cm

The rectangle is 17 cm by 32 cm.
