Answer:

Initial Value / Starting Point

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, or the initial value.

b is the intial value starting point

y is the dependent variable

m is the slope

x is the constant rate of change

derivative is the slope if the line is a curve

y ⇒ how far up or down is the line,

x ⇒ how far along is the line,

b ⇒ the value of y when x = 0 and

m ⇒ how steep the line is.

Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle PQR, in triangle XYZ, XY = 4cm, YZ=6cm, XZ=5cm, in triangle PQR PQ=8cm find remaining sides
kolezko [41]

Answer:

QR = 12 (cm), RP = 10 (cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of the triangles:

XY : PQ, YZ : QR, ZX : RP.

For similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides are the same

XY : PQ = 4 : 8 = 1 : 2

YZ : QR = 1 : 2

ZX : RP = 1 : 2

YZ : QR = 1 : 2

6 : QR = 1 :2, QR = 12 (cm)

ZX : RP = 1 : 2

5 : RP = 1 : 2, RP = 10 (cm)

What is the meaning of the point (25, 20)?
Reil [10]

Answer:

(25, 20 ) represents that the dimension of the coral is 25 feet long and 20 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general representation P(x,y) represents the Cartesian Representation of a point in a 2 Dimension.

Here, x represents the distance of the point   P from y axis to the x axis.

and y  represents the distance of the point   P from x axis to the y axis.

(x, y) together gives the  2 dimensional representation of the point P.

Now here, the given coordinates are (25, 20)

So, here x = 25 and y = 20

So, (25, 20 ) represents that the dimension of the coral  is 25 feet long and 20 feet wide.

Hence, option 3 is the most appropriate.

17 + x =31 <br> i need help
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

x= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First (and only) we subtract 17 from both sides :

17 + x - 17 = 31 - 17

x = 31 - 17

x = 14

Hope this helped and have a good day

One number is 5 more than another number. their sum is −15 . what are the numbers?
Aliun [14]
X=5+y
x+y=-15

subsitute 5+y for x

5+y+y=-15
5+2y=-15
minus 5 from both sides
2y=-20
divide both sides by 2
y=-10

sub back
x=5+y
x=5-10
x=-5

the numbers are -10 and -5
