Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

y =  \frac{2}{3}x -  \frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the slope using the above points then use the slope formula to calculate the slope

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\  \frac{2 - -  4}{5 -  - 4}  =  \frac{2 + 4}{5 + 4}  =  \frac{6}{9}  =  \frac{2}{3}

substitute ⅔ for m and one of the above points into the y-intercept form of the equation for a line and solve for b

y = mx + b \\ 2 =  \frac{2}{3} (5)  + b \\ 2 =  \frac{10}{3}  + b \\ 2 -  \frac{10}{3}  = b \\  \frac{6}{3}  -  \frac{10}{3}  = b \\ b =  -  \frac{4}{3}

substitute the slope and the value for b into the equation to get the answer

y =   \frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{4}{3}

 In a​ company, 80​% of the workers are women. If 480 men work for the​ company, how many workers are there in​ all? Use pencil
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The total workers are<u> 2400.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In company 80% of the workers are women.

480 workers are men.

Now, to find the total workers in all.

<u><em>In first way:</em></u>

If women are 80%, then men would be 100-80 = 20%.

Let the total workers be x.

According to question:

20\%\ of \ x=480

⇒\frac{20}{100} \times x=480

⇒0.20\times x=480

⇒0.20x=480

Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:

⇒x=2400.

Total workers = 2400.

<em><u>Now, in second way</u></em>.

Again, let the total workers be  x.

According to question:

x-80\%\ of\ x=480

⇒x-\frac{80}{100}\times x=480

<em>On solving:</em>

⇒x-0.80x=480

⇒0.20x=480

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:</em>

⇒x=2400.

<em>Total workers = 2400.</em>

Therefore, the total workers are <u>2400</u>.

What are the solutions to the equation 0 = x2 - X-6? Select two options
Ganezh [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - x - 6 = 0

x2 - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

x - 3 = 0. x + 2 = 0

x = 3 x = - 2

Option no 2 and 5 are the correct answer
