Work out m and c for the line: 3 y + 6 x = − 3

Answer:

<u>m</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>c</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let's first phrase out the general equation of a line

{ \rm{y = mx + c}}

  • m is the slope
  • c is the y-intercept

[ remember that a general line equation must be in slope - intercept form as shown above ]

• from our question, we are given the equation;

{ \rm{3y + 6x =  - 3}}

• let's make y the subject in order to make the equation in slope - intercept format.

→ <em>r</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>b</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>p</em><em>p</em><em>l</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>"</em><em>s</em><em>u</em><em>b</em><em>j</em><em>e</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>a</em><em>k</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>n</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em>"</em>

{ \rm{3y =  - 3 - 6x}} \\  \\ { \rm{3y =  - 6x - 3}} \\  \\ { \rm{ \frac{3y}{3}  =  \frac{ - 6x}{3}  -  \frac{3}{3} }} \\  \\  { \boxed{ \rm{y =  - 2x - 1}}}

• The above boxed equation is now a general equation. Let's extract out slope, m and y-intercept, c

{ \rm{m \:  \dashrightarrow \:  - 2}} \\  \\ { \rm{c \:  \dashrightarrow \:  - 1}}

Solve the simultaneous equations <br> 2x+3y=13<br> 4x-y=-2
kherson [118]
From eq1 ,
2x = 13-3y
x = 6.5-1.5y (eq 3)
sub eq 3 into eq2,
4(6.5-1.5y)-y=-2
26-6y-y=-2
-6y-y=-2-26
-7y=-28
7y=28
y=4 ( eq 4 )
sub eq4 into eq3 ,
x=6.5-1.5(4)
x=6.5-6
x=0.5

Identify az of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5
4vir4ik [10]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Identify a3 of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5,...a3=

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The third term of sequence is 0.75

a_3 = 0.75

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, sequence is:

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

Let us find the difference between terms

0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25\\\\0.75-0.5 = 0.25\\\\1.25-1=0.25\\\\1.5-1.25=0.25

This is a arithmetic sequence

Because the difference between any term and its immediately preceding term is always 0.25

In a arithmetic sequence,

a_1 = \text{ first term of sequnece }\\\\a_2 = \text{second term of sequnce }\\\\a_3 = \text{third term of sequnece }\\\\a_n = \text{ nth term of sequnce }

Thus, in the sequence 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

a_3 = \text{ third term } = 0.75

Thus the third term of sequence is 0.75
