I think it is 78 I hope is help you :)
Answer:
a=-8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-1/2a-5)=3a+1
To find the opposite of 1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.
-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1
The opposite of −5 is 5.
-1/2a+5=-3a+1
add 3a to both sides
-1/2a+5+3a=1
Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a
5/2a+5=1
Subtract 5 from both side
5/2a=1-5
Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.
5/2a=-4
Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of 5/2=2.5.
a=-4x(2/5)
express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single fraction.
a= -4x2/5
Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.
a=-8/5
Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.
a=-8/5
(a)

or, via symmetry

____________
(b)
By the chain rule:

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
<span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

Differentiating with respect to theta

2/3 is the slope
____________
(c)
"</span><span>distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3
A</span>ngle θ and r are related via <span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time
</span><span />
Answer:
y = -1/2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
slope: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
(-5 - -2) / (4 - -2)
(-5 + 2) / (4 + 2)
-3 / 6
- 1 / 2
y-intercept: y = mx + b
-5 = -1/2(4) + b
-5 = -2 + b
-3 = b
The best answer is D!
Please give me the brainliest answer :)
