Answer:

B. y=1/2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we read the slope of line JK.

slope = rise/run = -3/-6 = 1/2

The equation we need has the same slope.

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + b

It passes through point P(6, -2). Now we find b.

-2 = (1/2)(6) + b

-2 = 3 + b

b = -5

The equation is

y = (1/2)x - 5

What is 3x-4y=4 in linear equations

KengaRu [80]

Your equation is a linear equation because it has a constant, and it has variables. And it does not have something like x^2.

However, if your question wants it in slope-intercept format, which is y=mx+b

Then:

3x-4y = 4

We can add 4y to both sides
3x = 4+4y

Subtract 4 from both sides
3x-4 = 4y

Then we divide by 4
$\frac{3}{4} x -1=y$

So 3x-4y=4 in slope-intercept format would be $y =\frac{3}{4} x -1$

Max work 40 hours per week as a tire store manager. If he made 29,640 last year, how much he paid per hour?

Mkey [24]

Well there are 52 weeks in a year
And we know that he made 29640
So divide 29640/52 to get $570 a week
Then you divide 570 by 40 hours to get 14.25 an hour

He was paid $14.25

If f(x) = x2 − 81 and g(x) = x+9/x-9, find g(x) · f(x).

dexar [7]

Answer:

f(x) = x² - 81 = ( x+ 9)(x - 9) Difference of two squares

g(x) = x+9/x-9

g(x) . f(x) = x + 9/ x - 9 × (x+9)(x - 9)

= ( x + 9)(x +9)

= ( x + 9)²

= x² + 18x + 81

Hope this helps.

The dimensions of a rectangle box are consecutive integers. If the box has volume of 13,800 cubic centimeters, what are its dime

dezoksy [38]

If the dimensions were all the same number ... the box was a cube ...
then each dimension would be (the cube root of 13,800) cm.

∛13,800 = 23.986... (rounded)

so the place to look is around 23 .

(22 x 23 x 24) = 12,144 <== too small; go up one integer

(23 x 24 x 25) = 13,800 <== Eureka !

The consecutive integers are 23, 24, and 25 .

The perimeter of a rectangular concrete patio is 100 meters. it is 30 meters long. how wide is it?

34kurt

Perimeter is 2l+2w
100 =2(30) + 2w
100 =60 + 2w
-60 -60
40 = 2w

w=20 meters.
