Answer:

y=-3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of <em>y</em> when x=0)

<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two points that fall on the line are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the points (2,1) and (5,-8):

m=\displaystyle \frac{-8-1}{5-2}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{-9}{3}\\\\m=-3

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3. Plug this into  y=mx+b as <em>m</em>:

y=-3x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

y=3x+b

Plug in one of the given points and solve for <em>b</em>:

1=-3(2)+b\\1=-6+b\\b=7

Therefore, the y-intercept is 7. Plug this back into y=-3x+b:

y=-3x+7

I hope this helps!

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

0.06 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

acid concentration of 65% means that it of 100 units of that solution 65 are acid, and the remaining 35 are water.

so, 100 units are 0.2 liters in this example.

that means that 65/100 × 0.2 = 0.13 liters are acid.

35/100 × 0.2 = 0.07 liters are water

we get a 50% concentration, when we have the same amount of water and acid in the solution (acid is only half of 50% of the solution).

the account of acid remains the same, as we are only adding water.

so, how much water do we need to get from 0.07 liters to 0.13 liters (the same as the already present acid) ?

0.13 - 0.07 = 0.06 liters

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. What is the value of h? h = 60 h = 80 h = 100 h = 120
lisabon 2012 [21]
I added the diagram of the question.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
h = 60°

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
We are given that lines k and l are parallel lines.
This means that angles 120° and h are <u>supplementary angles</u>.
This means that their measures <u>add up to 180°</u>

<u>Therefore:</u>
180° = 120° + h
h = 180° - 120°
h = 60°

Hope this helps :)
