What would the answer to -|-24| be?

I need to complete the equation of the line through (3 -1) and (4 7). I am really stumped on this topic, please explain the proc

Nana76 [90]

Assuming you want the equation in slope intercept form, you first need to use slope formula to find the slope.

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Plug in the coordinates that you have, (3,-1) and (4,7), for the x and y values respectively.

$\frac{-1-7}{3-4}$

Which reduces to 8/1=8.

The slope of your equation is 8.

Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b. m is your slope and b is your y-intercept, x and y stay unchanged.

Plug the slope in:

y=8x+b.

Now, you can plug one of the sets of coordinates into the x and y of the equation to find b. I'm using (3,-1).

-1=8(3)+b

-1=24+b

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-25=b

Now plug this into the equation!

y=8x-25 is your final equation.

I hope this helps :)

ASAP BRAINLIEST !! Luis is given the fraction 4/5. He is told to create an equivalent fraction with a numerator of 32. Explain t

solniwko [45]

Answer: answer 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : lets make x the missing denominator.

I would take the 4/5 and set it equals to 32/x

we then cross multiply

where it would be 4 * x = 32 * 5

it would then be 4x = 160

we would then divide 160 by 4

x = 160/ 4

and x would be 40

.... therefore the missing denominator is 40.

Explain the difference between accuracy and precision

nata0808 [166]

Precision is more like consistency. Take a rifle range for example. Sure, all the shots may be off centered, but if they're tightly grouped together, it shows that the shooter had precision in their shooting. Accuracy is how close to spot on the attempts or shots generally are. They would end up more towards the center, but a little more spread out.

Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p

zalisa [80]

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

Statement 1: "The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

$Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3$

------

Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"

$Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y$

------

Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."

$Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\$

------

Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."

$Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\$

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

$178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y$
