Graphs/218090: use the intercepts to graph the equation -x+5y=10

Use the intercepts to graph the equation -x+5y=10

Step 1. Intercepts means one of the coordinates is zero. The y-intercept b occurs when x=0 or at point (0,b) and the x-intercept a occurs when y=0 or at (a,0)

Step 2. At x=0, then -x+5y=10 or -0+5y=10 or y=2 after dividing by 5 to both sides of the equation. So we have (0,2) as one point

Step 3. At y=0, then -x+5y=10 or -x+5*0=10 or x=-10. And we have another point at (-10,0).

Use these two points to graph as shown below:

Linear-equations/218071: graph the equation and show your slope: -4x-2y=-6
1 solutions

Answer 164280 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 21:50:22 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph the equation and show your slope: -4x-2y=-6

Step 1. Let's put the equation in slope-intercept form given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point(0,b).

Step 2. Putting -4x-2y=-6 in slope-intercept form yields the following steps.

Add 2y+6 to both sides of the equation

-4x-2y%2B2y%2B6=-6%2B2y%2B6

-4x%2B6=2y

Divide 2y to both sides of the equation

-4x%2F2%2B6%2F2=2y%2F2

-2x%2B3=y

y=-2x%2B3

Step 3. ANSWER: The equation is y=-2x%2B3 where the slope m=-2 and y-intercept b=3.

Need one more point to graph the line since we have (0,3) as one point. A slope m=-2 means every move to one unit to the right yields two step downward.

So starting at (0,3) then one unit to the right means x2=0+1=1 and then two units down means y2=3-2=1. Then, the other point we can use to plot the line is (1,1). We can check if it satisfies the equation y=-2x%2B3 or

1=-2%2A1%2B3 which it does.

Here's the graph:

Linear-equations/218072: find the x and y intercepts of the graph of -2x-4y=-20
1 solutions

Answer 164276 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 21:31:35 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the x and y intercepts of the graph of -2x-4y=-20

Step 1. The intercepts occur when the one of the coordinates is zero. The y-intercept is when x=0 or at point (0,b) where b is the y-intercept. The x-intercept is when y=0 or at point (a,0) where a is the x-intercept.

Step 2. So let x=0, then -2*0-4y-20 or 4y=20 or y=5 after dividing by 4 to both sides. Therefore, the y-intercept is 5.

Step 3. So let y=0, then -2x-4*0-20 or 2x=20 or x=10 after dividing by 10 to both sides. Therefore, the x-intercept is 10.

Step 4. ANSWER: The x-intercept is 10 and the y-intercept is 5.

1 solutions

Answer 164274 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 21:24:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Four consecutive integers whose sum is 58.

Step 1. Let n be an integer

Step 2. Let n+1, n+2, and n+3 be the next three consecutive integers.

Step 3. Then, n+n+1+n+2+n+3=58 since the sum of four consecutive integers is 58.

Step 4. Solving, 4n+6=58, yields the following steps:

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

4n%2B6-6=58-6

4n=52

Divide 4 to both sides of the equation.

4n%2F4=52%2F4

n=13 Then n%2B1=14, n%2B2=15 and n%2B3=16

Check if sum is 58....13+14+15+16=29+29=58....which is a true statement.

Step 5. ANSWER: Numbers are 13, 14, 15, and 16.

Graphs/217960: Graph using the slope and the y-intercept
x+5y=10

Graph using the slope and the y-intercept
x+5y=10

Step 1. The slope-intercept from is given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept at x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Put the given equation in slope intercept form.

x%2B5y=10

Subtract x from both sides of the equation

x%2B5y-x=10-x

5y=-x%2B10

Divide 5 to both sides of equation

5y%2F5=-x%2F5%2B10%2F5

y=-x%2F5%2B2

Step 3. The equation y=-x%2F5%2B2 has a slope m=-1/5 and y-intercept b=2.

Now the slope of -1%2F5 for every five unit you go the right, you go one unit down.
To plot the line take the y-intercept at point (0,2). So starting at point (0,2) or x1=0 and y1=2 we go five unit to the right means x2=0+5=5 and 1 unit down means y2=2-1=1. So we have two points (0,2) and (5,1).

Graphs/217950: 3. Use the intercepts to graph the equation:
x-2=y

1 solutions

Answer 164219 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 18:29:44 (Show Source):

3. Use the intercepts to graph the equation:
x-2=y

Step 1. We can put this in standard form given as

x-y=2 where we added 2-y to both sides of the equation

Step 2. Now the intercepts occur when one of the coordinates is equal to zero, that is, x=0 or y=0.

Step 3. Let x=0, then we have the y-intercept given as

x-y=2

0-y=2

y=-2

So for x=0, we have y=-2 and therefore point (0,-2) can be used to plot the line.

Step 4. Let y=0, the we have the x-intercept given as

x-y=2


x-0=2

So for y=0 we have x=2 and therefore another point (2,0) can be used to plot the line.

Step 5. It takes two points to draw a line and these point from Steps 3 and 4 is (0,-2) and (2,0)

Step 6. Graph the line as shown below using the intercepts point in Step 5.

Graphs/217928: Find the slope if it exists of the line containing the pair of points:
(4,5) and (8,-3)

1 solutions

Answer 164211 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 18:05:17 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the slope if it exists of the line containing the pair of points:
(4,5) and (8,-3)

However, here are the steps showing you how you can check your work with one of the points.

Step 1. The slope of the line m is given as

+m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29

where for our example is x1=4, y1=5, x2=8 and y2=-3 (think of slope=rise%2Frun). You can choose the points the other way around but be consistent with the x and y coordinates. You will get the same result.

Step 2. Substituting the above values in the slope equation gives

m=%28-3-5%29%2F%288-4%29

m=-8%2F4

m=-2

Step 3. The slope is calculated as -2 or m=-2

Step 4. Now use the slope equation of step 1 and choose one of the given points. I'll choose point (4,5). Letting y=y2 and x=x2 and substituting m=-2 in the slope equation given as,

+m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29


+-2=%28y-5%29%2F%28x-4%29

+-2=%28y-5%29%2F%28x-4%29

Step 5. Multiply both sides of equation by x-4 to get rid of denomination found on the right side of the equation


+-2%28x-4%29=%28x-4%29%28y-5%29%2F%28x-4%29


+-2%28x-4%29=y-5


Step 6. Now simplify and put the above equation into slope-intercept form.

-2x%2B8=y-5

Add 5 to both sides of the equation

-2x%2B8%2B5=y-5%2B5

-2x%2B13=y

y=-2x%2B13 ANSWER in slope-intercept form. m=-2 and y-intercept=13

Step 7. See if the other point (8,-3) or x=8 and y=-3 satisfies this equation

y=-2x%2B13

-3=-2%2A8%2B13 which is a true statement

-3=-3 So the point (8,-3) satisfies the equation and is on the line. In other words, you can use the other point to check your work.

Note; above equation can be also be transform into standard form as

2x%2By=13

See graph below to check the above steps and note the slope and the y-intercept at x=0

Triangles/217797: A right triangle has one leg three times as long as the other. Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg.
1 solutions

Answer 164163 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 14:35:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A right triangle has one leg three times as long as the other. Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg.

Step 1. Let x be the shorter leg.

Step 2. Let 3x be the longer leg and since it is three times longer than the shorter leg.

Step 3. Perimeter P means we add up all three sides of a triangle.

Step 4. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse which states that the sum of the squares of the legs (x and 3x) is equal to the sum of the squares of the hypotenuse.

c%5E2=x%5E2%2B%283x%29%5E2=x%5E2%2B9x%5E2=10x%5E2 where c is the hypotenuse

The sum of two consecutive integers is 237. Find the two integers.

Step 1. Let n be an integer.

Step 2. Let n+1 be the next consecutive integer.

Step 3. Then n+n+1=237 since the sum of two consecutive integers is 237.

Step 4. Solving yields the following steps

2n%2B1=237

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.

2n%2B1-1=237-1=236

Divide by 2 to both sides of the equation.

2n%2F2=236%2F2

n=118 and n%2B1=119

Step 4. ANSWER: The integers are 118 and 119.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

Linear-systems/217789: Use the intercept method to graph x-y=3. help

Answer 164155 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 14:14:37 (Show Source):

Use the intercept method to graph x-y=3.

Step 1. Intercepts occur when one of the coordinates is equal to 0. So the y-intercept occurs at x=0 and the x-intercept occurs at y=0.

Step 2. It takes two points to make a line. So use these intercepts points

Step 3. When x=0, then 0-y=3 or y=-3. So we have point (0,-3).

Step 4. When y=0, then x-0=3 or x=3. So we have another point (3,0).

Step 5. Graph the line as shown below using these two points found in Steps 3 and 4.

graph%28400%2C400%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C+x-3%29

Note x-y=3 can be written as y=x-3 in slope-intercept form where slope m=1 and y-intercept b=-3.

Find the maximum area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 54 centimeters.

Step 1. Perimeter P means adding up all 4 sides of a rectangle or P=w+w+L+L=2(w+L) where w is the width and L is the Length.

Step 2. Maximum Area A=w*L is when the rectangle is a square or A=s%5E2 where s=w=L.

Step 3. So P=2(w+L)=2(s+s)=4s.

Step 4. P=54=4s or s=54/4=13.5.

Step 5. A=s%5E2=13.5%5E2=182.25.

Step 6. ANSWER: Maximum area is 182.25 square centimeters.

x%5E2%2By%5E2=1 This is an equation of a circle centered at point (0,0) with radius 1.

x%2By=-1 This is an equation of a line with slope m=-1 and y-intercept at b=-1 or at point (0,-1).

Step 1. Let's solve for x in x%2By=-1

Subtract -y to both sides of the equation

x%2By-y=-1-y=-1%281%2By%29=-1%28y%2B1%29}

x=-1%28y%2B1%29

Step 2. Substitute x=-1%28y%2B1%29 into x%5E2%2By%5E2=1

x%5E2%2By%5E2=1=+%28-1%29%5E2%28y%2B1%29%5E2%2By%5E2 but %28-1%29%5E2=1 and %28y%2B1%29%5E2=y%5E2%2B2y%2B1

x%5E2%2By%5E2=y%5E2%2B2y%2B1%2By%5E2=1

2y%5E2%2B2y%2B1=1

Step 3. Subtract 1 to both sides of the equation

2y%5E2%2B2y%2B1-1=1-1

2y%5E2%2B2y=0

2y%28y%2B1%29=0

Then y=0 and y=-1

Step 4. Find x-coordinates when y=0 and y=-1

At y=0, then x=-1-y=-1-0=-1. One intersection point is (-1,0).

At y=-1 then x=-1-%28-1%29=-1%2B1=0. One intersection point is (0,-1).

Step 5. Then intersection points are (-1,0) and (0,-1)

Here are the graphs of the circle and line and note they have two common points.

Equations/217758: Write an equation for the line described as slope=-3/5 and passes through (7,6). Write in slope intercept form.

Answer 164120 by drj(1380) About Me  on 2009-09-27 11:50:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Write an equation for the line described as slope=-3/5 and passes through (7,6). Write in slope intercept form.

Step 1. The slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept b at x=0 or point (0,b). Here, the slope m=-3/5.

Step 2. The slope m is given as

m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29

Step 3. Let (x1,y1)=(6,7) or x1=7 and y1=6. Let other point be (x2,y2)=(x,y) or x2=x and y2=y.

Step 4. Now we're given m=-3%2F5. Substituting above values and variables in the slope equation m yields the following steps:

m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29

-3%2F5=%28y-6%29%2F%28x-7%29

Step 5. Multiply (x-7) to both sides to get rid of denominators on both sides of equation.

%28x-7%29%2A%28-3%2F5%29=%28x-7%29%28y-6%29%2F%28x-7%29

-3x%2F5%2B21%2F5=y-6

Step 6. Now add +6 to both sides of equation to solve for y.

-3x%2F5%2B21%2F5%2B6=y-6%2B6

-3x%2F5%2B51%2F5=y


Step 7. ANSWER: The equation is -3x%2F5%2B51%2F5=y

Here's a graph below and note the slope and y-intercept at x=0 or point (0, 51/5) and the x-intercept at y=0 or at point (17, 0)and note it is consistent with the equation when substituting these

graph%28500%2C500%2C+-10%2C20%2C-5%2C15%2C+-3x%2F5%2B51%2F5%29

Note: the above equation can be rewritten in standard form as

3x%2B5y=51

Hi Morgan,

My guess of the problem is that you want to solve for y as a function of x.

What you have so far is correct. So let's set the equation = 0 in order to get y.


-3y%2B11x%2B7+=0

Now add 3y to both sides to get y-terms on the right side.

-3y%2B11x%2B7%2B3y=3y

11x%2B7=3y

Now divide by 3 to both sides of the equation

11x%2F3%2B7%2F3=3y%2F3

11x%2F3%2B7%2F3=y ANSWER if the problem is to solve for y.

We now have y as a function of x which is a line.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

The supplement of an angle is 4 more than twice its complement. Find the measure of the angle.

Step 1. Supplementary angles means two adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees.

Step 2. Complementary angles means two adjacent angles add up to 90 degrees.

Step 3. Let x be the angle.

Step 4. Let 180-x be its supplementary angle.

Step 5. Let 90-x be its complementary angle.

Step 6. Let 2(90-x) be twice its complement

Step 7. Then, 180-x=4+2(90-x) since the supplement of an angle is 4 more than twice its complement.

Step 8. The following steps will solve the equatio in Step 7.

180-x=4%2B2%2890-x%29

180-x=4%2B180-2x

Add 2x-180 to both sides of the equation.

180-x%2B2x-180=184-2x%2B2x-180

x=4 then 180-x=176 and 90-x=86

Check if 180-x=4%2B2%2890-x%29 in Step 7 is true...176=4%2B2%2A86...which is a true statement.

Step 9. ANSWER: The angle is 4 degrees, its supplement is 176 degrees, and its complement is 86 degrees.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.

What is the length of a rectangle that is 6.5 cm wide and has a perimeter of 32 cm?

Step 1. Perimeter P means adding up all four sides of a rectangle.

Step 2. Let w be the width and L be the length.

Step 3. Then P=w%2Bw%2BL%2BL=2w%2B2L=2%28w%2BL%29

Step 4. But w=6.5 and P=32, then

32=2%286.5%2BL%29=32=13%2B2L

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to get only L terms on the right side.

32-13=13%2B2L-13

19=2L

Divide by 2 to both sides of the equation

19%2F2=2L%2F2

L=19%2F2=9.5

Check P=2*(6.5+9.5)=2*16=32 which is a true statement.

Step 5. ANSWER: The length is 9.5 cm.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
