Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 8) (7, - 7)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope or the gradient of a line you have to utilise the formula

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Y₂ = -7

Y₁ = 8

X₂ = 7

X₁ = 3

So,

[tex]\frac{-7-8}{7-3}[/tex]

→ Simplify

[tex]-\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Answer 2

By using the given points, we will see that the slope is -15/4.

How to find the slope of a line?

If we know that a given line passes through two known points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

[tex]s = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Here the line passes through the points (3, 8) and (7, -7).

Using the above formula, we can see that the slope is:

[tex]s = \frac{-7 - 8}{7 - 3} = \frac{-15}{4}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3=x+15   (subtract x from both sides)

2x + 3 - x = x + 15 - x

x + 3  = 15 (subtract 3 from both sides)

x + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3

x = 15-3

Problema: Se guarda una moneda antigua en una caja cubica de tal forma que el contorno de la moneda toca las 4 paredes de la caja, si la base de la caja tiene un perímetro de 24 cm ¿Cual es el área de la moneda?

Answers

Answer: 50.24 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

An old coin is kept in a cubic box in such a way that the outline of the coin touches the 4 walls of the box, if the base of the box has a perimeter of 24 cm. What is the area of ​​the coin?

The fact that the coin touches the interior of the box means that the diameter of the coin is equal to the side lenght of the box.

The perimeter of the box is 24 cm, and the perimeter of a square is equal to:

P = 4*L

where L is the side lenght of the square.

24 cm = 4*L

L = 24cm/4 = 8cm

Now we know that the diameter of the coin is 8cm

Now, the area of a circle (the coin) is equal to:

A = 3.14*(d/2)^2

where d is the diameter, so we have:

A = 3.14*(4cm)^2 = 50.24 cm^2

The space shuttle's external tank was a component of the space shuttle's launch vehicle that carried the fuel during launch. The tank is cylindrical in shape, having a diameter of 8.4 metres and is 46.9 metres in length. A)How much fuel would the tank hold? B)The tank takes 8.5 minutes to be emptied during launch. At what rate is the fuel being used?

Answers

Answer:

a. The tank would hold a 2,600.136 m^3 or 2,600,136 liters of fuel

b. The rate at which the fuel is being used is 305,898.35 liters of fuel per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since the tank is cylindrical in shape, we can mathematically calculate the volume of the cylinder so as to know the amount of fuel it will hold.

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder;

V = π * r^2 * h

where r is the radius which is the diameter divided by 2 = 8.4/2 = 4.2 meters in this case

h is the length here(in place of the conventional height) = 46.9 meters

π = 22/7

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

V = 22/7 * 4.2^2 * 46.9 = 2,600.136 m^3 of fuel

Since 1 m^3 = 1000 liters

then 2,600.136 m^3 = 2,600.136 * 1000 = 2,600,136 liters( liters is a more comfortable unit when talking about liquids such as fuel)

b. Now we want to know the rate at which the fuel is used

What we need here is to just divide the volume of fuel used by the number of minutes it took the tank to be emptied

That would be = 2,600,136/8.5 = 305,898.35 liters/minute

which of the following is the solution to the inequality below?

A) x > -2
B) x > -1/2
C) x < 2
D) x < - 1/2

Answers

Answer:

x >-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (x -3) > 5 - 5x

Distribute

-3x +9 > 5-5x

Add 5x to each side

-3x +9+5x > 5-5x+5x

2x +9> 5

Subtract 9 from each side

2x+9-9>5-9

2x > -4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 >-4/2

x >-2

Answer:

A. x > -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (x -3) > 5 - 5x

-3x + 9 > 5 - 5x Subtract 9 from both sides and add 5x to both sides:

-3x + 5x = 5 - 9

2x > -4

x > -2.

A grocery store will only accept yellow onions that are at least 2.75 in. In diameter. A grower has a crop of onions with diameters that are normally distributed, with a mean diameter of 2.5 in. And a standard deviation of 0.25 in. What percent of the onions will be accepted by the grocery store?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate z-score firstly

z-score = (x-mean)/SD = (2.75-2.5)/0.25 = 0.25/0.25 = 1

P( x greater than or equal to 2.75) = P(z greater than or equal to 1)

= 1 - p(z <1)

P(z<1) from table = 0.84134

1-p(z<1) = 0.15866 or 15.866%
