5у - 4х = -7 2y + 4x = - 14

1 answer:

3 0

1. Y= 5/4x -1.4
2.Y=-2/4x -7
Formula is Y=MX+B
To solve these equations you have to make the Y separate so add or subtract the x value depending on the charge remember what you do to one side you do to the other after you divide everything by the number in the Y value and for the x you put the y value on-top and make it a fraction

Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (7,2) and is perpendicular to y=5x-2

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{17}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line

A line can be represented by an equation of the form

$y=mx+b$

Where x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line, b is the y-intercept and y is the dependent variable.

We need to find the equation of the line passing through the point (7,2) and is perpendicular to the line y=5x-2.

Two lines with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if:

$m_1.m_2=-1$

The given line has a slope m1=5, thus the slope of our required line is:

$\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}=-\frac{1}{5}$

The equation of the line now can be expressed as:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b$

We need to find the value of b, which can be done by using the point (7,2):

$\displaystyle 2=-\frac{1}{5}*7+b$

Operating:

$\displaystyle 2=-\frac{7}{5}+b$

Multiplying by 5:

$10=-7+5b$

Operating:

$10+7=5b$

Solving for b:

$\displaystyle b=\frac{17}{5}$

The equation of the line is:

$\boxed{\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{17}{5}}$

Suppose the professor decides to grade on a curve. If the professor wants 16% of the students to get an A, what is the minimum s

vladimir1956 [14]

There isn't enough info to determine that, I believe. You would need an equation that would allow me to determine the minimum output for an A.

What is the value of y in the sequence below? 2,y,18, -54,162,

snow_lady [41]

First, let's check if the sequence is geometric or arithmetric.

If arithmetric, the sequence will have common difference.

Arithmetric

$\displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}$

d stands for a common difference. Common Difference means that sequences must have same difference after subtracting.

Geometric

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

r stands for a common ratio.

To find the value of y, you can check the sequence. If we try subtracting the sequences, the differences are different. That means the sequences are not arithmetric. That only leaves the geometric sequence.

Let's check by dividing sequences.

We have:
