Answer:

y + 7 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

Here m = \frac{1}{2} and (a, b ) = (- 6, - 7 ) , then

y - (- 7) = \frac{1}{2} (x - (- 6) ) , that is

y + 7 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 6)

Answer:

9/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line:

y = 1.2857142857143x + 0.71428571428572

or

y =  

9 x

7

+  5

7

When x=0, y = 0.71428571428572

When y=0, x = -0.55555555555556

An engineer is designing a roller coaster. The tallest peak is 310 feet high.
rusak2 [61]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The slope of the hill is equal to 2.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to remember that the slope of a line, is the rate of increase or decrease of the line.

From the statement we know that the tallest peak of the roller coaster is 310 feet (y), while the roller coaster travels 155 horizontal feet (x), so, calculating we have:

Slope=\frac{height}{base}=\frac{y}{x}

Then, substituting the given information and calculating, we have:

Slope=\frac{310ft}{155ft}=2

We have that the slope of the hill is equal to 2.

Have a nice day!

Orbital Toys sells two types of sets of magnetic spheres, silver and brass. The store owner, Lucy Ball, pays $8 and $16 for each
sdas [7]

Answer:

The maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to create a system of equations, with two values that will create the answer we are looking for, the thing that we don't know here is how many of each are we buying so the number of silver magnetic spheres will be represented by "y" and the brass magnetic spheres will be represented by "x".

So we know that x+y=2000

That's our first equation, our second would be the expense, which would be

8x+16y=20,000

We now just solve for one of them

x=(2000-y)

8(2000-y)+16y=20,000

16,000-8y+16y=20,000

8y=4,000

y=500

So we know that the maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.
