The temperature of the substance at 10am  =  63.95°F

Let the temperature at 10 am be x

The temperature changes by −8.7°F from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

The temperature at 1 pm = x  -  8.7

At 5 p.m., the temperature is 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm = 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm is 2/3 of what the temperature was at 1 p.m

33.5 = \frac{2}{3} ( x-8.7 )

Solve for x

3(33.5)  =  2(x  -  8.7)

110.5  =  2x  -  17.4

2x  =  110.5 +  17.4

2x   =  127.9

x   =  127.9/2

x   =  63.95°F

The temperature of the substance at 10am =  63.95°F

Find an equation of the line that passes through the points (1 2) and perpendicular to the line 2y-x=4
Ratling [72]
Steps to find the equation
1. Find the slope
2. Insert slope into the general equation
3. Find y-intercept
4. Insert -intercept into the equation found in step 2
And you get the equation of the line

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the slope
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2y - x = 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rewrite into the form y = mx + c
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2y = x + 4
y = 1/2 x + 2

Slope = 1/2
Perpendicular slope = -2 (negative reciprocal)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the equation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + c
y = -2x + c

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -2x + c
At point (1, 2)
2 = -2(1) + c
2 = -2 + c
c = 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation y = -2x + c
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -2x + 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = -2x + 4

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, negative 1) and (3, 1). a point is at (negative 3, 0). what is the equation of th
Vitek1552 [10]

Required Equation is y = \frac{2x}{3}+2

Given: A line passing through ({x}_1,{y}_1) and ({x}_2,{y}_2)

Slope = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)}{(x_2 - x_1)} = \frac{( 1 - (-1))}{(3 - 0)}= \frac{2}{3}

Equation of line is:

Y_1(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + b

Where b is y intercept

for value of b

Y_1(0) = -1 = \frac{2}{3}*0 + b = b

⇒ b = -1

and Equation of line is:

Y_1(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + (-1)

For another parallel line that passes through the point (-3,0)

Y_2(x)= \frac{2}{3}x + c

Y_2(-3) = 0 = {2}{3}*-3 + c = -2 + c = 0

c = 2

then the equation is:

Y_2(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + 2
