Describe and correct the error in finding the solution.​

Mathematics

yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

The error is in step 2. if you are performing an operation on one side of the equation, it must be performed on the entire expression. you can’t only divide by 2 on one term, you must do it to everything in the equation. instead, you could add 6 to both sides first, giving you 2x = -4. Then you can divide by 2 on both sides. the answer is -2.

Complete the equation of the line whose y-intercept is (0, 5) and slope is -9.<br> y =
MrRa [10]
You would just plug the values into the slope-intercept formula which is y=mx+b. m is representative of the slope, and b is representative of the y-intercept. The equation would be y=-9x+5

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (3, -1) and parallel to the line y=2/3x - 5. Show work
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The answer is: y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (3, -1)

Given equation: y = 2/3x - 5, which is in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point slope form of the equation with the point (3, -1) and substitute:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 3)

y + 1 = 2/3x - 6/3

y + 1 = 2/3x - 2

y = 2/3x - 3

Proof:

f(3) = 2/3(3) - 3

= 6/3 - 3

= 2 - 3

= -1, giving the point (3, -1)

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
