$m_{1}m_{2} = - 1$

$\frac{8}{5} \times m_{2} = - 1$

$m_{2} = \frac{5}{8} \times - 1$

$\boxed{ m_{2} = \frac{ - 5}{8} }$

plzzz help A model train is on a track 100 cm from its starting point. Turning a switch displaces the train either forward or ba

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: B. |x-100| = 25

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.

The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.

A box company is designing a new rectangular gift container. The marketing department has designed a box with a width 2 inches s

Sladkaya [172]

Volume of the box= 56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
height = 3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56

Given the equation y = 2 x - 8, what is the slope and the y -intercept?

jeka94

Answer:

m=2 and b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is organized in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

When given the equation, y=2x-8, we can see that 2 is in the place of m and -8 is in the place of b. The reason the y-intercept isn't 8 is that y=2x-8 can be written as y=2x+(-8) since y=mx+b involves addition. Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -8.

m=2 and b=-8

I hope this helps!
