The slope of a line parallel to y= 5x + 2
This is because a parallel line will have the same slope as the line it’s trying to be parallel to. In this case, 5 :)
3
this is because
and
y
are all separate variables (also
combines into one variable)
To solve for C, you have to get both of the numbers with a C on the same side. So, subtract the 5c from the right side onto the left side.
Then, divide by 3 on each side.
So, c = 7.
If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters
If you would like to find 2 numbers which you can add up to get 24 and multiply to get -25, you can calculate this using the following steps:
a + b = 24 ... b = 24 - a
a * b = -25 ... a * (24 - a) = -25 ... 24 * a - a^2 = -25 ... 0 = a^2 - 24 * a - 25
0 = (a - 25) * (a + 1)
1. a = 25
2. a = -1
b = 24 - a
1. b = 24 - 25 = -1
2. b = 24 - (-1) = 25
The numbers you are looking for are -1 and 25.
