Answer:

y=12x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (3,20) and has a slope of 12.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was 12. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=12x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(3,20). When x of the line is 3, y of the line must be 20.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the 12 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (3,20).

So, why not plug in for x the number 3 and for y the number 20? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(3,20). y=mx+b or 20=12 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=20-(12)(3). b=-16.

The equation of the line that passes through the point (3,20) with a slope of 12

is

y=12x-16

Vlada [557]

Answer:

25 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal

5x+15 = 6x -10

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x+15 = 6x-5x -10

15 = x - 10

Add 10 to each side

15+10 = x-10+10

25 = x

Answer:
slope = -9/2

Explanation:
The form of the slope-intercept equation is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

The given is:
y = -9/2 x

Comparing the given with the general form, we will find that:
m is the slope = -9/2
c is the y-intercept = 0

Hope this helps :)
y = -9/2

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A) -2 - i√3 , -2 + i√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using quadratic formula

x² + 4x + 7 = 0

The Almighty Formula

= -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

Where ax + bx² + c = 0

From the above question

a = 1, b = 4, c= 7

Hence,

-4 ± √4² - 4 × 1 × 7/2 × 1

-4 ± √16 - 28/2

=( -4 ± √-12)/2

Since

b² - 4ac < 0

We have two complex roots

Simplifying

( -4 ± √-12)/2

= -4/2 ± √-12/2

= -2 ± 2√3i/2

= -2 ± √3i

Therefore,

-2 - √3i , -2 + √3i

or

-2 - i√3 , -2 + i√3

Option A , is the correct answer
