Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Plug the slope (m) into the equation</u>

We're given that the slope is -3. Plug -3 into the equation

y=-3x+b

<u>2) Solve for the y-intercept (b)</u>

To solve for b, plug the given point (-1,-5) into the equation as (x,y).

-5=-3(-1)+b\\-5=3+b

Subtract 3 from both sides

-5-3=3+b-3\\-8=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is -8. Plug -8 back into our original equation as b

y=-3x-8

I hope this helps!

Rewrite 4 1/2=2 <br> please
Luda [366]

The logarithmic expression of 4^(1/2) = 2 is \log_4(2) = \frac 12

<h3>How to rewrite the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

4^(1/2) = 2

Take the logarithm of both sides

log(4^(1/2)) = log(2)

Apply the change of base rule

1/2log(4) = log(2)

Divide both sides by log(4)

1/2 = log(2)/log(4)

Change the base

\frac 12 =\log_4(2)

Rewrite as:

\log_4(2) = \frac 12

Hence, the logarithmic expression of 4^(1/2) = 2 is \log_4(2) = \frac 12

PLS HELPPPPPPPPPPP Determine the approximate value of X round to the nearest hundredth
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can immediately elimate two answers since x cannot be larger than the hypotenuse, which is 9. You can cosine = adjaent/hypotenuse, which gives the equation cos(54) = x/9, which simplifies to x = 9*cos(54). When you plug this into a calculator, you should get 5.29. Keep in mind that 54 is measured in degrees and not radians because.
