Answer 1

Answer:

Mistake is on second line.

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two lines are (I added the boldface):

3x - 5 + 3x = x + 8 - x - 1

6x – 5 = 2x + 7

The first line has x and -x. They add to 0.

The second line on the right side should have just 7, but the x and -x of the first line were incorrectly added together giving 2x.

The second line should be:

6x - 5 = 7

Add 5 to both sides.

6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 2

B.)-17x + 10y = 85
C.)-17x + 10y = -85
D.)17x+10y = -85

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 1.7x + 8.5 ( add 1.7x to both sides )

1.7x + y = 8.5 ( multiply through by 10 )

17x + 10y = 85 → A

How can I find a rule in a math question

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How to write the rule of a function given the table of values. To write the rule of a function from the table is somehow tricky but can be made easier by having prior knowledge of the type of function. If the function is a linear function, plugging any two sets of values from the table into the equation y = ax + b, where a and b are constants to be found and x, y are values taken from the table. Solving the two equations obtained simultaneously gives the values of a and b and hence the required rule.

Similarly, if the function is a quadratic equation, plugging any three sets of values from the table into the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, c are constants to be found and x, y are values taken from the table. Solving the three equations obtained simultaneously gives the values of a, b and c and hence the required rule. For tables with no prior knowledge of the type of function, a series of trial and error will lead us to the solution of the problem.

What equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y = -6/5 - 7?

Answers

Answer:

B. (top right) 6y - 5x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Is the equation of the given line

y = -6/5 x - 7?

The x is missing.

If so, then the slope of the given line is -6/5.

A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -6/5, so we need a slope of 5/6.

A.

6x - 5y = 30

-5y = -6x + 30

y = 6/5 x - 6

Here the slope is 6/5, so this is not it.

B.

6y - 5x = 18

6y = 5x + 18

y = 5/6 x + 3

This is it.

C.

6x + 5y = 20 has negative slope, so it is not it.

D.

5x + 6y = 42 has negative slope, so it is not it.

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

A linear equation has the form y = mx + b in the slope-intercept format. X and Y are the variables in the equation. The values m and b represent the line's slope (m) and the value of y when x is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

{(2,4), (8,-3), (-5,-1), (4,6), (6,7), (9,0)}

The domain is the input and the range is the output

domain is { 2,8,-5,4,6,9} and the range is {4,-3,-1,6,7,0}

We put the numbers in order from smallest to largest

Domain = {-5,2,4,6,8,9), range = (-3,-1,0,4,6,7}

Answer:

(-9,-3,6,-2,8,6) is the answer as the range is always the "second pair" of numbers in any relation.

Answer:  y=  5 /52  = 10 2/5 = 10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.3+y/4=-9.7

We move all terms to the left:

-3.3+y/4-(-9.7)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y/4+6.4=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

y+(6.4)*4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y+25.6=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

y=-25.6

   

   

Find two numbers whose difference is 16 and whose product is a minimum. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Answers

Answer:

8, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

  Let's say that x is the larger number,

x - y = 16

y = x - 16

xy = P  where P is a minimum  

x(x-16) = P.  

(We can find the vertex, which is the minimum, by writing it in vertex format)  

  Completing square:  

x2 - 16x = P  

x2 - 16x + 64 = P + 64  

(x - 8)2 = P + 64.

 So,

x = 8 and -8

(8 - -8 -> 8 + 8 = 16)

Find the slope and the y−intercept of the line in the graph.



The slope is .

The y−intercept is .

Can anyone help me?

Answers

Answer:

slope: 5intercept: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

It works well to find the slope using points where the graph crosses grid intersections. We see two of those are (0, 4) and (1, 9). The slope formula tells us ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (9 -4)/(1 -0) = 5

The slope is 5.

__

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0. The point (0, 4) tells us ...

The y-intercept is 4.

A line is drawn so that it passes through the points (-3, -1) and (4, 2).

a. What is the slope of the line?

b. Using the point (4, 2) and the slope found above, write the equation of the line in point-slope form.

Answers

Answer:

y - 2 3/7 (x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) To find slope, use the equation:where  and  are the x and y values of one coordinate point  , and  and  are the x and y values of another coordinate point . Since we are given two coordinate points, (-3,-1) and (4,2), that means we can find the slope using the slope equation.  

Let's choose (4, 2) as your  point and (-3, -1) as your  point, but you can switch those if you want! That makes  and x^1 = -3, y1 = -1 . Plug these values into the slope equation:

The slope of the line is 3/7.

B) Remember that the general equation for point-slope form is, where m = the slope,  = the x value of a coordinate point on the line, and  = the y value of the same coordinate point on the line.  

You are given (4, 2) as one of the coordinate points. That means  = 4 and  = 2. We found the slope, m =  in part A. Now plug these values into the general equation for point-slope form to find your point-slope form equation:

Your point-slope form equation is y - 2 3/7 (x-4).
