Answer:

-1 = 1/3 * 6 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So if it goes through point (6, -1) and has a slope of -1/3, all of this is parts of the slope intercept equal, Y = mx - B. You have the slope, which is m in the equation, y = -1/3 x - b. you already have a y and x which are the points passed, -1 = -1/3 * 6 - b, but this can't equal y, so you must have did it wrong, the only way this could equal y is if the slope wasn't negative, and in that case it would be -1 = 1/3 * 6 - 3. Because 1/3 * 6 is 2 and then subract 3 and you get -1.

Answer:

y = - 1/3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of the line with:

Slope m = - 1/3
Passes through the point (6, - 1)

The slope intercept form is:

y = mx + b

We have the slope, find the y-intercept by substituting the coordinates and slope values into equation above:

-1 = (-1/3)*6 + b
- 1 = - 2 + b
b = 2 - 1
b = 1

The line is:

y = - 1/3x + 1

What is the volume of a cylinder if the radius is 3.2 centimeters and the height is 5 centimeters

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder: V = π×r² × h

r = 3.2 cm

h = 5 cm

Volume:

V = π×(3.2)²×5 = 51.2π cm³ = 160.8495.... cm³ ≈ 160.85 cm³

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

independent variable- change or control

dependent- measure

so ...

x can be type of lizard (you can change the lizard's size, type/species, etc)

y can be the mass in grams ( u measure mass)

Answer this question with a clear explanation to be marked as Brainiest ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B and D are all only a few digits long and can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, where at least one is even:

A = -6/16 = -3/8, so it's rational

B = 7.0398 = 35199/5000, so it's rational

D = 6,907 = 13814/2, therefore rational

C, on the other hand is irrational.

If we simplify the surd √8, we get 2√2. The 2's on the top and bottom can now cancel out, giving us √2, which is irrational. [There's a proof but it's kinda long].

Which equation could be solved using this application of the quadratic formula?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

We need to use the quadratic formula and the given expression to find the values of a, b, and c.

The quadratic formula is

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Where the formula has -b, the problem has -2, so b = 2.

Now we have

ax^2 + 2x + c = 0

In the denominator, where the formula has 2a, the problem has 2(1), so a = 1.

Now we have

x^2 + 2x + c = 0

Inside the root, the quadratic formula has -4ac. the problem shows -4(1)(-4). Since we already know that a = 1, then c = -4.

Now we have

x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0

Let's look at choice A.

x^2 + 1 = 2x - 3

Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 3 to both sides.

x^2 - 2x + 4 = 0 This is not it!

Let's look at choice B.

x^2 - 2x - 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0 This is not it!

Let's look at choice C.

x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0 This is it!

Answer: C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
