A software designer is mapping the streets for a new racing game. all of the streets are depicted as either perpendicular or par

allel lines. the equation of the lane passing through a and b is -7x 3y = -21.5. what is the equation of the central street pq? a. -3x 4y = 3 b. -1.5x − 3.5y = -31.5 c. 2x y = 20 d. -2.25x y = -9.75

The equation of the central street PQ is  -1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5 option (b) is correct.

<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

We have a straight line:

-7x+3y=-21.5  

Convert it to the general form given below:

\rm y=mx+c

\rm 3y=-21.5+7x\\\\ \rm y = \frac{-21.5}{3}+\frac{7}{3}x or

\rm y = \frac{7}{3}x-\frac{21.5}{3}

m = \frac{7}{3}   (Slope of AB line)

For the slope(m') of the PQ line:

\rm m'=-\frac{1}{m}    ( because AB and PQ are perpendicular to each other)

\rm m' = -\frac{3}{7}

We know the:

\rm (y-y')=m'(x-x')

Where (x', y') = (7, 6), we get:

\rm (y-6)=-\frac{3}{7} (x-7)

\rm 7(y-6)=-3 (x-7)\\\\\rm 7y-42= -3x+21\\\\\rm 7y= -3x+21+42\\\\\rm 3x+7y=63

\rm -1.5x-3.5y=-31.5   (multiply by -1/2 on both sides)

Thus, the equation of the central street PQ is  -1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5

If you roll two four-sided dice numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4), what is the probability that the sum of the dice is 7? Enter a fractio
Anna [14]
The probability that the sum of the dice is 7 is 1/2 because there are only three combinations that result in the sum of 7: (1,6)(2,5) and (3,4). But there are 6 possible outcomes( this is if you don’t add reverse combinations such as 1,6 and 6,1) so the probability would be 3/6 or 1/2

A store is instructed by corporate headquarters to put a markup of 25​% on all items. An item costing ​$16 is displayed by the s
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

the manager's error could likely be putting the percentage mark up rather than the markup price added to the original price

25%×16

= $4

mark up price= (16+4)$

= $20

Really need help on my correction if anyone know please help!!
Olin [163]
Answers: 
<u>Question 19:</u> 177 bpm
<u>Question 20:</u> 95˚F

Explanations:
<u>Question 19:</u>
You had the formula set up properly like this:
R =  \frac{885 \sqrt{25} }{25}  =  \frac{885(5)}{25}  =  \frac{4425}{25} 
This is where you went wrong - I don't know exactly what you did, but your division of 4425 ÷ 25 is wrong. You should have ended up with 177 which is the correct answer. 
<u>Question 20:</u>
You had the formula set up correctly again, and merely used the wrong sign when adding 32. 
F =  \frac{9(35)}{5} + 32 =  \frac{315}{5} + 32
This is where you went wrong. You subtracted 32 from 63 when you should have added it. (See red circle on your subtraction.)
63 + 32 = 95˚F

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form. 9 5
tigry1 [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

(9) {}^{2}   = (5) {}^{2}  + (x) {}^{2}  \\ 81 = 25 +  {x}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 56 \\ x = 2 \sqrt{14}  = 7.4
