Answer:

-6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is the ratio of "rise" to "run". That is, it is the ratio of the vertical change between two points to the horizontal change between those points.

Here, two points are marked, (-1, 2) and (4, -4). Either by counting grid squares or by subtracting coordinates, we find the vertical change (rise) from the first point to the second to be (-4 -2) = -6 units. The horizontal change (run) from the first point to the second is (4 -(-1)) = 5.

The slope is the ratio of these values:

slope = rise/run = -6/5

Y=4x-6 and passes through point 8,12

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Slope of required line if both lines are parallel: y=4x-20

Slope of required line if both lines are perpendicular: y=-1/4x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation of line while we are given another line having equation y=4x-6 and passes through point (8,12)

<u><em>Note: Since it is not given if the required line is parallel or perpendicular to the given line. I will solve for both cases.</em></u>

If Both lines are parallel the equation of new line will be:

We need to find slope and y-intercept to write equation of new line.

When lines are parallel there slopes are same

So, slope of given line y=4x-6 is 4 (Compare with general equation y=mx+b, m is slope so m=4)

Slope of new line is: m=4

Now finding y-intercept

Using slope m=4 and point (8,12) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\12=4(8)+b\\12=32+b\\b=12-32\\b=-20$

y-intercept of new line is: b=-20

Equation of required line having slope m=4 and y-intercept b=-20 is

$y=mx+b\\y=4x-20$

If Both lines are perpendicular the equation of new line will be:

We need to find slope and y-intercept to write equation of new line.

When lines are perpendicular there slopes are opposite of each other

So, slope of given line y=4x-6 is 4 (Compare with general equation y=mx+b, m is slope so m=4)

Slope of new line is: m=-1/4

Now finding y-intercept

Using slope m=-1/4 and point (8,12) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\12=-\frac{1}{4} (8)+b\\12=-2+b\\b=12+2\\b=14$

y-intercept of new line is: b=14

Equation of required line having slope m=-1/4 and y-intercept b=14 is

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{1}{4} x+14$

A state park charges an entrance fee based on the number of people in a vehicle. A car containing 2 people is charged $14, a car

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Therefore $98 is be charged a bus containing 30 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A state park charges an entrance fee based on the number of people in vehicle.

Let the entry fee for the vehicle be E and entry fee for each person be x.

Then

C= E+(P×x)

C= Total charge in $

E= entry fee for a vehicle

P=No. of person

x= Entry charge per person.

Given A car containing 2 people charged $14

C=$14, P=2

∴14= E+(2× x)

⇒E+2x=14.....(1)

Again A car containing 4 people charged $20

C=$20, P=4

∴20= E+(4× x)

⇒E+4x=20.....(2)

Subtract (1) from (2), we get

E+4x-(E+2x)= 20-14

⇒E+4x-E-2x=6

⇒2x=6

⇒x=3

Putting the value of x in equation (1)

E+(2×3)=14

⇒E=14-6

⇒E=8

Therefore E=$8 and x=$3

Next we check whether our assumption is correct or wrong. Putting the value of E and x for third case

Here P= 8

Therefore C= E+(P×x)

= 8+(8× 3)

=8+24

=$32

Therefore our assumption is correct.

Now C=? , P= 30

The charged for the 30 people is

C= $[8+(30×3)]

=$[8+90]

=$98

Therefore $98 is be charged a bus containing 30 people.

M=p/n+4 make n the subject

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$n = \frac {p - 4m}{m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the algebraic expression;

$m = \frac {p}{n + 4}$

To make n the subject of formula.

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$m*(n+4) = p$

$mn + 4m = p$

Rearranging the equation, we have;

$mn = p - 4m$

$n = \frac {p - 4m}{m}$
