Y= -5/3x + 2
To find slope:
-8-7 / 6 - (-3) = -5/3
Plug in x and y from one of the points to the equation to find b
7 = -5/3 (-3) + b
B = 2
Put it all together:
y = -5/3x + 2
Answer: The inequality solves to x ≥ 42
The graph is shown below
==================================================
Explanation:
We have some unknown number x, and we're dividing by 6 to form the fraction x/6. That result is 7 or larger which means we write x/6 ≥ 7
To solve for x, we undo the division. We'll multiply both sides by 6. That's how we get to x ≥ 42
The graph will involve a number line. Plot a closed filled in circle at 42 on the number line. Shade to the right. This visually represents any number that is 42 or larger. The endpoint 42 itself is included in the solution set.
Side note: We would use an open circle if we didn't have the "or equal to" portion for the inequality sign.
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
Answer:
23.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Sketch a right triangle representing this situation. The length of the hypotenuse is 26 ft and the angle of elevation from ground to top of ladder is 65°. The "opposite side" is the reach of the ladder, which we'll call x.
Then:
opp
- sin 65° = ----------
- 26 ft
or (26 ft)(sin 65°) = opp side = height off the ground of top of ladder.
Evaluating this, we get:
(26 ft)(0.906) = 23.56 ft, or, rounded off, 23.6 ft
The ladder reaches 23.6 ft up the side of the building.
