Answer:

The slope is -5

y intercept is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation for y

5x+y =-2

Subtract 5x from each side

5x+y -5x = -5x-2

y = -5x-2

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -5 and the y intercept is -2

Answer:

Slope -5

y intercept 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+y=-2 in the form y =Mx+ c is,.

y=-5x+-2

y=-5x-2

Where m is the slope which is -5

And c is the y intercept i.e 2

Use your answer from Question #5 and the coordinates of P to find the coordinates of P’. Explain your work, including how the scale factor was used to determine the answer.

Answers

Answer:

Scale factor is used to find the coordinates depending upon whether the scale factor value is less than one or more than one.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor is a number which scales, or increases, some amount. In the condition y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is likewise the coefficient of x, and might be known as the steady of proportionality of y to x.

An object is augmented if the scale factor is more noteworthy than 1. An article is decreased if the scale factor is a division, under 1. To discover the expanded picture, we initially should know the directions of our unique picture. At that point we basically increase the arrange by the scale factor to discover the widened picture.

Answers

Answer:

If we let x be the number of ticket sold and y be the amount in dollars donated then, the equation would be,

                                     x = 2y

We can check our answer by substituting the given,

                                     10 = 2(5)

                                      10 = 10

The equation can also be written as,

5y-14=2y-2 solve for y and show work plz

Answers

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5y−14=2y−2

Step 1: Subtract 2y from both sides.

5y−14−2y=2y−2−2y

3y−14=−2

Step 2: Add 14 to both sides.

3y−14+14=−2+14

3y=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3y/3=12/3

y=4

Answer:

5y + -14 = 2y + -2

-14 + 5y = 2y + -2

-14 + 5y = -2 + 2y

-14 + 5y = -2 + 2y

-14 + 5y + -2y = -2 + 2y + -2y

5y + -2y = 3y

-14 + 3y = -2 + 2y + -2y

2y + -2y = 0

-14 + 3y = -2 + 0

-14 + 3y = -2

-14 + 14 + 3y = -2 + 14

 -14 + 14 = 0

0 + 3y = -2 + 14

3y = -2 + 14

-2 + 14 = 12

3y = 12

y = 4

The pentagon ABCDE is graphed on a coordinate plane with vertices A(0, 0), B(3, 5), C(3, 8), D(8, 5), and E(8, 0). What is the pentagon's area?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is- 40

Step-by-step explanation:

( :

The area of the pentagon represented here is 40 units².

What is Area?

Area of a two dimensional shape is the total region which is bounded by the object's shape.

Given that the coordinates of the vertices of the pentagon given are A(0, 0), B(3, 5), C(3, 8), D(8, 5), and E(8, 0).

We have to find the area.

This pentagon can be divided in to triangle CBD and trapezium ABDE.

Find the area of each to find the total area of the pentagon.

Area of ΔCBD = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × BD × CB

Using the distance formula,

BD = [tex]\sqrt{(8-3)^2+(5-5)^2}[/tex] = 5

CB = [tex]\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(5-8)^2}[/tex] = 3

Area of ΔCBD = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 5 × 3 = 7.5

Area of trapezium ABDE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × (AE + BD) × DE

Using the distance formula,

AE = 8, BD = 5 and DE = 5

Area of trapezium ABDE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × (8 + 5)5 = 32.5

Total area of the pentagon = 7.5 + 32.5 = 40 units²

Hence the total area is 40 units².
