Answer:

y= mx+c

-4= -3/5(-5) + c

-4= -3/5 *-5+ c

-4=3+c

-4-3=c

-7=c

therefore the equation of the line is y=-3/5x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line is

y=mx +c

where y is the y coordinate

where m is the slope

where x is the x coordinate

where c is the y- intercept

Look at the picture.

The area of a parallelogram:

$A_P=5\cdot3=15$

The area of a triangle:

$A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot5=12.5$

The area of the polygon:

[texA=A_P+A_T\\\\A=15+12.5=27.5\ u^2[/tex]

Answer: D. 27.5 square inches /inches?/ I think, correct is units

The ratio of boy campers to the number of girl campers is 8:7. If there are a total of 195 children, how many are boys and how

Luden [163]

$8x-amount\ of\ boys\\7x-amount\ of\ girls\\\\8x+7x=195\\
15x=195\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 15\\x=13\\\\
8x=8*13=104\\
7x=7*13=91\\\\
\textbf{There\ are\ 104\ boys\ and\ 91\ girls.}$

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to show that:

$\tan(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) = - \cot \: x$

One way is to use the basic double angle formula:

$\frac{ \sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} )} = \frac{ \sin(x) \cos( \frac{3\pi}{2} ) + \cos(x) \sin( \frac{3\pi}{2}) }{\cos(x) \cos( \frac{3\pi}{2} ) - \sin(x) \sin( \frac{3\pi}{2}) }$
