Question 443763: Complete the table
equation value of m value of b slope y intercept
y=1
Click here to see answer by rwm(914)

Question 443781: I have 3 questions:
1) I= nE/(nr+R) (solve for n)
2) 1/a + 1/b = c (solve for a). I think the LCD is ab.
To isolate a, I need to divide both sides by bc. Then I get lost!
3) Using the quadratic formula, solve 5x^2+8x+2=0. a=5, b=8, c=2; plug them into the quadratic formula -b plus or minus the square root of(b^2-4ac)divided by 2a.
I am having a hard time with the steps for the answer because I looked up the answer but can't seem to figure the steps correctly. I beleive the answer to be (-4 plus or minus the square root of 6)divided by 5. But I keep coming up with (-8 plus or minus the square root of 24)divided by 10.
I would really appreciate your help! Thanks so much.

Question 445846: Tomorrow I have a test on slope intercept form, and solving system of equation. For slope intercept form, I know the formula is y=mx+b, and that m is slope and b is y intercept. I just don't understand how to graph it. An example is: Slope= -2, Y intercept= 1. The equation I came up with is Y= -2x+1. What number do I use for x, and how would I graph it.
For solving system of equations, I don't understand how to graph it either. For example: Y=-x and Y= x+2. How would you be able to put that on a graph.
I'm really sorry for how long that is, but it's super confusing for me. I had an A in math until this, and now I have a C. I'm hoping if I make a good grade on this test it will bring my grade up before final report cards. Thanks so much :)
