Of means multiply
is means equals
1/2 • x = -.25
Rewritten
.5•x=-.25
Inverse operations to isolate the variable.
x = -.25/.5
x = -.5
You are given the equation 36 = 9x² + 4y². You are asked to find the slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola. A hyperbola has the following general equation x²/a² + y²/b² = 1. the goal here is to find the slopes of the hyperbolic equation. So divide both sides by 36
36 = 9x² + 4y²
(1/36)[36 = 9x² + 4y²]
1 = x²/4 + y²/9
a² = 4
a = 2
and
b² = 9
b = 3
To find the slope, divide a/b and you will get 2/3.
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
300 / 3 = 100
45 / 3 = 15
15 of 100 is 15%
Answer:
x = 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this answer by assuming the triangles were congurent, if they are not, the answer may vary.
first, make an equation:
x + 8 = 3x - 9
bring 3x to the other side, by subtracting it
-2x + 8 = -9
Subtract 8
-2x = -17
divide by -2
x = 8.5
Then, just sub x into the formulas
Answer:
y = 2x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Looks like we already have the slope of this line: It is 2. Working with the point (1, -5), we have x = 1 and y = -5 and can from this info easily find the y-intercept, b:
y = mx + b becomes
y = 2x + b, which in turn becomes
-5 = 2(1) + b, or
b = -7,
and so the desired equation is y = 2x - 7
