1. he slope of a line through the points (-2, 4) and (6, b) is -3/2 What is the value of b?
Explain your method for calculating b.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to solve this problem. Slope, usually called m, is the change in y-values over the change in x-values.

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

It actually doesn't matter which point is the first point and which point is the second point. But you must be consistent.

So fill in -3/2 for the m

Let your (6, b) be your (x1, y1)

Let (-2, 4) be your (x2, y2)

So, the numbers fill into the formula like so:

-3/2 = (4 - b)/ (-2 - 6)

-3/2 = (4 - b)/(-8)

Multiply -8 on both sides of the equation.

(-8)(-3/2) = 4 - b

12 = 4 - b

Subtract 4 from both sides.

Don't lose the negative in front of the b

8 = -b

Multiply or divide by -1 on both sides.

-8 = b This is the answer.

**note: Its kinda crummy to use b in this equation, because b has a special meaning when you are working with linear equations. They should have given you a different variable. b usually stands for the y-intercept but in this problem it doesn't, it's just a variable representing an unknown value.

Answer:

x-intercept(s):  (−1.9900717,  0)

y-intercept(s): (0, 52.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute in  [tex]0[/tex]  for  [tex]y[/tex]  and solve for  [tex]x[/tex]. To find the y-intercept, substitute in  [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] and solve for [tex]y[/tex] .

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in  [tex]0[/tex]  for  [tex]y[/tex]  and solve for  [tex]x[/tex] .

What is a unit rate?
OA.

OB.

Ос.
a rate with one in the denominator
OD
a rate in which the denominator is greater than the numerator

Answers

Answer:

C. A rate with one (1) in the denominator

A unit rate is basically a ratio of something to one.

example:

if 10 bananas costs ten dollars then one banana would cost one dollar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

A.  A rate with one in the numerator

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the unit rate when given a rate by dividing the unit in the numerator by the quantity in the denominator. For example, if we are given the rate $4.50/5 gallons of milk, we can divide 4.50 by 5 to find the unit price, which is dollars per one gallon of milk. A unit rate means a rate for one of something. We write this as a ratio with a denominator of one. For example, if you ran 70 yards in 10 seconds, you ran on average 7 yards in 1 second. Both of the ratios, 70 yards in 10 seconds and 7 yards in 1 second, are rates, but the 7 yards in 1 second is a unit rate.

please, this is so easy !

so, please, burn this into your brain forever : the sum of all angles in a triangle is always (really, always) 180°.

so,

180 = 25 + 100 + A

A = 55°

ΔABC has: ∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°

so:  ∠CAB = 180° - ∠ABC - ∠ACB = 180° - 100° - 25° = 55°

ANSWER: ∠CAB = 55°

ok done. Thank to me :>

You just have to plug in the value in f(b) into the b of the equation.

So for f(0) --> 2(0)^3 - |0-4| + 7

2(0) - |-4| + 7

0 - 4 + 7 = 3

Keith bought 4 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next day his dog at half of his collection. There is now 25 cards left. How many cards did Keith start with?

Answers

Keith started with 42 cards.

Answer:

46 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a variable to represent the starting amount of cards: (x)

Keith bought 4 new cards: (+4)

His dog ate half of the collection: (x/2)

There are now 25 cards: (=25)

So we can use this expression to find the starting amount: (x+4)/2=25

Start by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the (x/2).

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get rid of the (+4).

Finally, we know x= 46

Thus, Keith started with 46 cards.

The hypotenuse AB of the right triangle ABC is parallel to the axis of the abscess. Find the length of the hypotenuse if A (-1; 1) and C (3; -4)

Answers

Answer:

  10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of AC is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4 -1)/(3 -(-1)) = -5/4

Then the slope of CB is the opposite reciprocal, 4/5. The equation of line CB in point-slope form is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -(-4) = 4/5(x -3) . . . . line CB

When y = 1 (to match the y-value of A), then ...

  1 +4 = 4/5(x -3)

  5(5/4) = (x -3) . . . . . multiply by 5/4

  6.25 +3 = x = 9.25 . . . . add 3

Point B is (9.25, 1).

The length of the hypotenuse is ...

  9.25 -(-1) = 10.25
