Answer:

y - 5 = -4(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking you to use and make an equation using the base of the "point-slope form." This is a common equation used when dealing with coordinates and graphs in math. The point-slope form equation looks like this:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).

We are going to need to use this equation base to create our problem from the information given. If you are wondering what those subscripts of 1 mean (the 1 in y₁ and x₁), I will explain. Remember that:

slope (m) = <u>y - y₁</u>

                  x - x₁

So, our first y value (which is the y-coordinate of 5 in [-3, 5]) can be added into the problem base that I had mentioned above:

y - <u>5</u> = m(x - x₁).

Now, we need to place the first x value (which is the -3 in [-3, 5]) can be added into the base problem once more:

y - 5 = m(x - (<u>-3</u>)).

Because a negative number with a negative symbol in front of it creates a positive, we can change that as well:

y - 5 = m(x + 3).

Fortunately, the question provides a slope ready for use. The question says that the slope is -4, so we can place this into the equation now:

y - 5 = -4(x + 3).

I hope that this helps.

A balloon is released from a height of 10 feet. The balloon climbs an additional 70% of its previous height as each minute passe
Ainat [17]
The initial height of the balloon is 10 feet which then increases by 70% to (10 ×1.7) = 17 feet, then to (17 × 1.7) =28.9 feet, and so fourth if the rate of increase is kept constant. Therefore, forming a geometric sequence such that to get any term in the sequence we use the formula ar∧(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term in the sequence. In this case a is 10 and r= 1.7 , to get the height in the fourth minute it means n =5 (for the first term there is 0 minutes, such that for 0 minutes n= 1)
Thus, 10 × 1.7 ∧ 4 = 83.521 feet.
Therefore, the answer is 83.521 feet

Marvin is comparing two different music websites. Website A charges $10 per month for a subscription and $0.25 per song. Website
Alecsey [184]
Website A:
c = 10 + 0.25 s 
where c is the cost and s is the number of songs.
Website B:
c = 0.75 s
The equation ( answer ):
10 + 0.25 s = 0.75 s
We can solve this equation:
10 = 0.5 s
s = 10 : 0.5
s = 20 ( Marvin would have to buy 20 songs to to make the costs equal )

I have to find the slope for 4. ASAP please help
Lorico [155]

Given:

The objective is to find the slope of the straight line.

Explanation:

The general equation to find the slope is,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let's consider two coordinates from the graph.

\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,0) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(-1,5) \end{gathered}

On plugging the values in the equation of slope,

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{5-0}{-1-0} \\ m=-5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the slope of the straight line is -5.
