1 answer:

3 0

Standard form is ax+by=c where a,b, and c are integers and a is usually positive

so
first find slope
get into form y=mx+b where m is slope
so
slope between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
points (-1,5) and (1,2)
slope is (2-5)/(1-(-1))=-3/(1+1)=-3/2
y=-3/2x+b
find b
sub a point
(1,2)
2=-3/2(1)+b
2=-3/2+b
4/2=-3/2+b
7/2=b

y=-3/2x+7/2
add 3/2 both sides
3/2x+y=7/2
times 2 both sides
3x+2y=7 is standard form

In the figure below, Angle ADC measures 50 degrees, and Angle BAC measures 90 degrees. What is the measure of Angle BAD?

juin [17]

Well I do not see the figure but I will assume it is a triangle. there are 3 angles in a triangle. Those 3 angles add up to 180. Since we know this, you can use the equation
angle1 + angle2 + angle3 = 180

we have 2 of the angles so with a little algebra we can solve for the last angle like this
180 - angle1 - angle2 = angle3

plug in 2 angles
180 - 50 - 90 = angle3

So answer is
angle3 = 40 degrees

Quinn runs 3 miles 3 times every week. How many miles does Quinn run in 6 weeks?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

54 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quinn runs 3 miles 3 times every week, which means he runs 9 miles every week.

We can multiply this by 6, which we get 54, so get the amount of miles Quinn runs in 6 weeks.
