What is the slope-intercept equation for the line below? (0, 4) (4, 1)

What Is The Slope-intercept Equation For The Line Below? (0, 4) (4, 1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 5/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of any line, start by finding the slope using the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 1)/(0 - 4)

m = -5/-4

m = 5/4

Now that we have the slope, use that and either point to get the equation of the line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = 5/4(x - 0)

y + 4 = 5/4x

y = 5/4x - 4

Answer 2

The equation of the line would be y = (5/4) x - 4. Hence, option B is correct.

What is an equation?

An equation is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

To find the equation of any line, start by finding the slope using the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (-4 - 1)/(0 - 4)

m = -5/-4

m = 5/4

Now that we have the slope, use that and either point to get the equation of the line.

y - y₁ = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = 5/4(x - 0)

y + 4 = 5/4x

y = 5/4x - 4

Hence, option B is correct.

What is the measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon

Answers

Answer:

60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total measure of the exterior angles of all polygons is 360 degrees,

A regular hexagon has 6 equal exterior angles so the measure of each angle is 360 / 6 = 60 degrees.

Answer:

Measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides = (n-2) x 180

Sum of exterior angles =  n x 180 - (n-2) x 180 = 2 x 180 = 360 degree.

So whatever be the number of sides the sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360°.

Here we are asked to find the measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon.

We know sum of exterior angles = 360°

Number of exterior angles = 6

Measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon = 360/6 = 60°

Measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon = 60°

Solve the inequality:

-4| 5x+12| -13> -44

Answers

Answer:

-79/20 < x< -17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-4| 5x+12| -13> -44

The first step is to add 13 to each side

-4| 5x+12| -13+13> -44+13

-4| 5x+12| > -31

Divide each side by -4.  Remember when dividing by a negative to flip the inequality

-4/-4| 5x+12| < -31/-4

| 5x+12| < 31/4

Now we will have 2 equations, one positive and one negative.  Remember to flip the inequality for the negative

5x+12 < 31/4   and 5x+12 >-31/4

Subtract 12 from each side

5x+12-12 < 31/4-12   and 5x+12-12 >-31/4-12

5x < 31/4-12   and 5x >-31/4-12

Get a common denominator of 4

5x < 31/4-48/4   and 5x >-31/4-48/4

5x < -17/4       and   5x > -79/4

Divide each side by 5

x < -17/20    and x >-79/20

-79/20 < x< -17/20

The Ratio of 3 numbers id 2:7:1. The sum of the numbers is 30. What are the 3 numbers?

Answers

Answer:

Three numbers are : 6 , 21 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of 3 numbers is 2:7:1 .

We can assume 3 numbers as : 2x ,7x and x respectively.

According to the problem :

2x + 7x + x = 30    {The sum of the 3 numbers is 30}

10x = 30

x = 3

Hence 3 numbers are,   x = 3

                                     2x = 2*3 = 6

                                     7x = 7*3 = 21

Solve the system by elimination state whether the system has one solution infinite solutions or no solution x+3y=-5 4x-y=6

Answers

Answer:

one solution, i.e x = 1 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations :

x+3y = -5   -------(1)

4x - y =6   ---------(2)

Using elimination method,

Multiply equation (2) by 3 and add it to equation (1)

We get,

x + 3y + {(4x - y)×3} = -5 +(6×3)

x + 12x + 3y - 3y = -5 + 18

13x = 13

x = 13/13  = 1

And corresponding y will be:

x + 3y = -5   , Plug x =1  to get y

1 + 3y = -5

3y = -5 - 1

y = -6/3 = -2

Hence we got only one solution, i.e x =1 and y = -2

Diagram 7 shows a trapezium ABCD. The straight lines AB and CD are parallel.Find
(a) the equation of the straight lines CD

(b)the x-intercept for the straight line CD

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Since lines AB and CD are parallel then their slopes are equal

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 14 is in slope- intercept form ( y = mx + c )

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence slope of CD = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

D is the point (0, 7) ⇒ c = 7

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 7 ← equation of CD

(b)

to find the x- intercept let y = 0, in the equation and solve for x

- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 7 = 0 ( multiply through by 2 )

- x + 14 = 0 ⇒ - x = - 14 ⇒ x = 14 ← x- intercept of CD

gives the average atmospheric pressure, P, in pounds per square inch, at an altitude x, in miles above sea level. Find the average atmospheric pressure for an altitude of 2.3 miles. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer

the answer is P=7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

P=14.7e           -0.21x

X=14.7e      (-0.63)

take the natrual log of both sides

1n(P)=1n(14.7e(-.63)

1n(P)=1n(14.7)-.63

(because ln(e^a) = a)

1n(P)=2.688 - .63

1n(P)=2.058

P=e       2.058

P=7.8

Final answer:

To find the average atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 2.3 miles, substitute x = 2.3 into the given formula and solve, resulting in approximately 9.1 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

The average atmospheric pressure for an altitude of 2.3 miles can be found by substituting x = 2.3 into the given formula: [tex]p = 14.7e^{-0.21x[/tex]

Substitute x = 2.3 into the formula:

Based on the survey results, how many of all new car owners from last month are not−−− completely satified with their purchase?

Answers

126 car owners were not completely satisfied with their purchase.

If we add 32 and 24, that would give us 56. This problem represents the total amount of people who gave a review.

Then we would take 184, and subtract it by 56. That would give us 126. The 56 represents the amount of people who didnt exactly give a negative survey result, we still dont know how many gave a negative result, therefore we subtract the amount of people who has already submitted a complete and "positive" survey, to the overall amount of people that has bought a car.

A red die is tossed and then a green die is tossed. What is the probability that the red die shows a number larger than three or the green die shows a number less than three?

Answers

Final answer:

The probability that the red die shows a number larger than three or the green die shows a number less than three is 0.83 or 83%.

Explanation:

The question relates to the topic of probability in mathematics, which is the measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. In this case, we are looking at the probability of combined events with two standard six-sided dice, one red, and one green.

Firstly, the probability that the red die rolls a number larger than three is 3/6 or 0.5 since, out of 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), 3 (4, 5, 6) are favorable outcomes.

Secondly, the probability that the green die shows a number less than 3 is also 2/6 or approximately 0.33, as there are two favorable outcomes (1 and 2).

To find the probability of the red die showing a number larger than three OR the green die showing a number less than three, we add the two individual probabilities because these are independent events. Hence Probability = 0.5+0.33 = 0.83 or 83%

Final answer:

The probability of the red die showing a number larger than three or the green die showing a number less than three is 1/9.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability of the red die showing a number larger than three or the green die showing a number less than three, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

The favorable outcomes are when the red die shows a number larger than three (i.e., 4, 5, or 6) or when the green die shows a number less than three (i.e., 1 or 2).

Since each die has 6 sides, the total number of possible outcomes for each die is 6. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes for both dice is 6 * 6 = 36.

The number of favorable outcomes is 3 (for the red die) + 2 (for the green die) - 1 (for the outcome where both dice show a number larger than three and a number less than three) = 4.

Therefore, the probability is 4/36 = 1/9.

At the newest animated movie, for every 9 9 children, there are 4 4 adults. There are a total of 3 9 39 children and adults at the movie. How many children are at the movie?

Answers

Answer:

27 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 children there are 4 adults .

x + y = 39  where x = number of children and y = number of adults.

and x/y = 9/4

so  4x = 9y

then x =  9y/4 , so substituting for x in the first equation:-

y + 9y/4 = 39        Multiplying through by 4:-

4y + 9y =  156

y = 156/13 = 12  so there are 12 adults

and 39 - 12 = 27 children





Final answer:

The problem is solved by using the ratio of children to adults and setting up a proportion. After cross-multiplying and solving the equation, it is determined that there are 27 children at the movie.

Explanation:

This is a problem of ratio and proportion. In this case, the ratio of children to adults at the movie is 9 to 4. This means that for every 13 people at the movie (9 children plus 4 adults), 9 are children. We can set up a proportion to determine how many out of the total 39 people at the movie are children.

The proportion is:
9 children / 13 total people = x children / 39 total people

We can solve this problem by cross multiplying: 9 * 39 = 13 * x, which gives us: 351 = 13x. Dividing both sides of the equation by 13, we get: x = 27.

Therefore, 27 children are at the movie.

decide whether the triangles are similar. If they are , write a similarity statement and state the reason justifying the similarity

Answers

I'll do the first one to get you started.

Start at point A as that is the first letter of the sequence ABC. The second letter is B so we'll record the length of segment AB, which is 4 units long.

Note how we have a segment that is also 4 units long in the other triangle; however, we won't use that one just yet. Instead, we'll go for the 2 unit segment. As it turns out, every piece of the triangle on the right side is half that of the left side triangle.

Segment ED is 2 units long. So AB and ED pair up

------------------------------

BC is 8 units long; DF is 4 units long (half of BC). So BC and DF pair up

I started at A, went to B, then to C in that exact order marking the side lengths of 4 and 8 respectively. At the same time for the other triangle, I started at E, moved to D, then to F recording the side lengths 2 and 4

So A pairs up with E, B pairs with D, and C pairs with F

Therefore, triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDF. The order is very important so that the points line up and correspond in the proper manner.

I used the SSS (side side side) similarity theorem to prove the triangles similar. This theorem says that if the sides are in proportion to one another, then the triangles are similar.

solve the equation 2x^2+18=0

Answers

Final answer:

The quadratic equation 2x² + 18 = 0 is solved by isolating the x² term and taking the square root of both sides, yielding solutions x = 3i and x = -3i.

Explanation:

To solve the quadratic equation 2x² + 18 = 0, you need to first move all terms to one side of the equation to set it equal to zero, which is already done in this case. Next, you would typically factor the quadratic or use the quadratic formula.

However, this equation can be simply factored since it is missing the x term. So, subtract 18 from both sides to isolate the x² term.

2x² = -18

Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x².

x² = -9

To solve for x, take the square root of both sides. Remember, when taking the square root of a number, you will have both a positive and negative solution.

x = √{-9} = ±3i

The solutions to the equation are x = 3i and x = -3i, where i is the imaginary unit.

Very soon after I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four letters. Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. To use his own words, further, he said, "If you give a [slave] an inch, he will take an ell. A [slave] should know nothing but to obey his masterto do as he is told to do. Learning would spoil the best [slave] in the world. Now," said he, "if you teach that [slave] (speaking of myself) how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master. As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him discontented and unhappy."These words sank deep into my heart, stirred up sentiments within that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new train of thought. It was a new and special revelation, explaining dark and mysterious things, with which my youthful understanding had struggled, but struggled in vain. I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficultyto wit, the white man's power to enslave the black man. It was a grand achievement, and I prized it highly. From that moment, I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom. It was just what I wanted, and I got it at a time when I the least expected it. Whilst I was saddened by the thought of losing the aid of my kind mistress, I was gladdened by the invaluable instruction which, by the merest accident, I had gained from my master.Though conscious of the difficulty of learning without a teacher, I set out with high hope, and a fixed purpose, at whatever cost of trouble, to learn how to read. The very decided manner with which he spoke, and strove to impress his wife with the evil consequences of giving me instruction, served to convince me that he was deeply sensible of the truths he was uttering. It gave me the best assurance that I might rely with the utmost confidence on the results which, he said, would flow from teaching me to read. What he most dreaded, that I most desired. What he most loved, that I most hated. That which to him was a great evil, to be carefully shunned, was to me a great good, to be diligently sought; and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn. In learning to read, I owe almost as much to the bitter opposition of my master, as to the kindly aid of my mistress. I acknowledge the benefit of both. . .The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by going one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge.I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country. It is enough to say of the dear little fellows, that they lived on Philpot Street, very near Durgin and Bailey's ship-yard. I used to talk this matter of slavery over with them. I would sometimes say to them, I wished I could be as free as they would be when they got to be men. "You will be free as soon as you are twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have?" These words used to trouble them; they would express for me the liveliest sympathy, and console me with the hope that something would occur by which I might be free.Which statement best describes the structure of the passage?It explains how Douglass becomes a free man, referring back to his childhood.It presents the claim that reading would spoil a person held as a slave and gives examples to support that claim.It uses compare and contrast to highlight the differences between Mr. and Mrs. Auld.It is a chronological narration of how Douglass learned to read, with pauses for explanation.

They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest."What is going to happen to all that milk? said someone."Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our mash, said one of the hens."Never mind the milk, comrades! cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. "That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades!
