Find the slope of the line.

Mathematics
1 answer:
elena-s [515]2 years ago
7 0

first you have to pick any two points on the line

(-3,4) and (0,-2)

then you subtract the y values

-2-4= -6

after that you subtract the x values

0 - (-3)= 3

the slope is -6/3, or -2

A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by 5x2 - y2 = 20. the process is repeated
zysi [14]
Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)

Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III

Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II

To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.

Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9

We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3

Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5

Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).

Hope this helps :)

A cell phone company charges a flat rate of $3.99 per month, with an additional charge of $0.05 per minute. How many minutes did
sasho [114]

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly bill - Flat rate = $38.44 - $3.99 = $34.45.

Minutes used = $34.45 / $0.05 = 689.

LMN is a right-angle triangle. Angle NLM=90. PQ is parallel to LM. The area of triangle PNQ is 8cm^2. The area of triangle LPQ i
likoan [24]

Answer:

The area of LQM is 48cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of PNQ = 8

Area of LPQ = 16

See attachment for triangles

The area of PNQ is calculated as:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * PN

Substitute 8 for Area

8 = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * PN

PQ * PN = 16

The area of LPQ is calculated as:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP

Substitute 16 for Area

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP

From the attachment:

PN + LP =LN

Make LP the subject

LP = LN -PN

So:

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * (LN -PN)

We have:

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * (LN -PN) and PQ * PN = 16

Equate both expressions:

\frac{1}{2} * PQ *(LN - PN) = PQ * PN

Divide both sides by PQ

\frac{1}{2} (LN - PN) = PN

Multiply both sides by 2

LN - PN = 2PN

LN= 3PN

Since PNQ is similar to LNM, the following equivalent ratios exist:

\frac{LM}{PQ} = \frac{LN}{PN}

Substitute LN= 3PN

\frac{LM}{PQ} = \frac{3PN}{PN}

\frac{LM}{PQ} = 3

LM = 3PQ

Area of LQM is:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * LM * LP

This gives:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 3PQ * LP

Area = 3 *\frac{1}{2} *PQ * LP

Recall that:

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP

So:

Area = 3 *16

Area = 48cm^2

Solve the following: -3x(x-8)+7x=12
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Solve for x:

-3x(x-8)-7x=12

-3x^2+24x-7x=12

-3x^2+17x+12=0

Can you factor it further?Feel free to ask questions in the comments.
