Answer:

b. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

you find the point and then go down 5 vertically within one horizontally to show the -5 slope and it will leave you at (-1, 2)

Answer:

a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2

7 = -5*(-2) + c

7 = 10 + c

c = 7-10 = -3

Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.

We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:

2 = -5a -3

5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)

-a = 1 (now by -1)

a = -1

22. Alternate angles

23. 4: ( $h_{b} = 2 \frac{a}{b}$ , substitute b with 10 and a with 20 and you get 4.)

24. 0.28: 0.12 + 0.60 = 0.72. Probability is always out of 1, so 1 - 0.72 should give you the probability of losing, which is 0.28.

Which expressions are equivalent to 12x - 6?

iren2701 [21]

<h3>Answer</h3>

B and E

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A) It's wrong because

$- 6 \times (2x - 1) = - 12x + 6$

B) It's right because

$6 \times (2x - 1) = 12x - 6$

C) It's wrong because

$6x \times (2 - 1) = 6x \times 1 = 6x$

D) It's wrong because

$- 6x \times (2x - 1) = - 12 {x}^{2} + 6$

E) It's right because

$- 6 \times ( - 2x + 1) = 12x - 6$

F) It's wrong because

$6 \times ( - 2x + 1) = - 12x + 6$

6. a. Name a pair of equations that have exactly one point of intersection. How do you know?

True [87]

Answer:

A system of linear equations will have exactly one point of intersection, for example:

2x+y=5

-x+y=2

However, a system of linear equations with no solution will have no points of intersection, for example:

-4x+10y=6

2x-5y=3

Sorry about c. though I'm confused on how a pair of equations can have infinite points of intersection unless x or y equals all real numbers which could happen if x or y both equaled all real numbers maybe

And the point of interesection for the system of equations in the problem you attached as an image is (2,-1)

I attached a photo below, and one of how to graph it

HELP WITH THESE TWO MATH QUESTIONS PLEASE!!!<br> ASAP!

Brilliant_brown [7]

The first picture would be choice answer c because the number of x's represent how many birds wings are this size. The number on the tic mark represents the size of the wing span. So you would take the number of x's times the tic mark represented under it. There are 3 birds with 3 1/8 wingspan so it wold be 3 1/8 *3. Hoped this helps for the first one!
