Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation looks like y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is already given to us, so m is 2.

To find b use the equation b=y_1-m*x_1. So, to find the y-intercept use b=-7-(2*-1). This equals b=-5.

So, plug in the values to get the final equation y=2x-5.

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

Since the slope is given as 2, we can substitute this into the equation:

y = 2x+b

Now, we can manipulate the point (-1,-7) to be in the form of a y-intercept - (0, y).

Note that a slope of 2 = 2/1, which means the rise = 2(which is added to the y) and run = 1(which is added to the x).

Adding this to our point of (-1,-7), we get:

((-1+1),(-7+2)) = (0, -5)

Therefore -5 is our y-intercept.

Now, substituting -5 into our equation, we get:

y = 2x + -5

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: there would be 52 yellow marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok we know that there is 65 marbles in total? Right? So then we’d take 65 and think, what could we divide this by and start guessing and estimating numbers. (I guessed 5, one because it’s divisible by 65, two there is 5 times more yellow marbles than red marbles.) So 5 divided by 65 is 13. But, in order to find the amount of yellow marbles, we need to subtract the whole number by the amount of red marbles. (So 65-13 =?) if you subtract that you get 52 yellow marbles.  :)

AB and CD are parallel find the value of y<br> Show clearly how you got your answers with reasons
Zina [86]

Answer:

y = 167°

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the triangle = 154° ( alternate angle to 154° )

The triangle has 2 equal legs so is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent

base angle = \frac{180-154}{2} = \frac{26}{2} = 13°

base angle and y are adjacent angles, lie on straight line AB and sum to 180°

y + 13° = 180° ( subtract 13° from both sides )

y = 167°
