Answer:

y = -6x - 57

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a line passes through the point (-9, -3) and has a slope of -6

We want to write the equation of this line.

There are 3 ways to write the equation of the line, with the most common way being slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

As we are already given the slope of the line, we can immediately plug that in the equation for m

Substitute m with -6.

y = -6x + b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through the point (-9, -3), we can use its values to help solve for b.

Substitute -9 as x and -3 as y.

-3 = -6(-9) + b

Multiply

-3 = 54 + b

Subtract 54 from both sides

-57 = b

Substitute -57 as b in the equation.

y = -6x - 57

The two polygons above are similar. The scale factor of the smaller polygon to the larger polygon is 3. The area of the smaller

Softa [21]

You would think it was 3 * 12 = 36. Not so. All polygons have to be broken down into some figure that will give 2 dimensions that are at right angles to each other. That would mean that
d1 * d2 = Area for the small polygon
3d1 * 3d2 = area of the larger polygon

What that means is that the area of the larger one is 9 times the smaller one.
Area large = 12 * 9 = 108 square units. <<<<< answer.

If you find this hard to be leave try it with a square.
Suppose you have a square (the small one) that is 3 cm by 3 cm
The small one has an area of 3*3 cm^2 = 9 cm

Now you have another square that is 3 times larger. That means that each side is 3*3 = 9
So s = 9
Area = s^2
Area = 9^2 = 81 cm^2
81 is 9 times larger than 9 just as you would think.

Talja [164]

Answer:

cost of ribeye steak dinners = $10.36

cost of grilled salmon= $11.581

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one steak dinners be x

Let the cost of one grilled salmon be y

One a particular day the waitress sells 12 ribeye steak dinners and 39 grilled salmon for a total is $575.53 which can be written in equation as

12(x)+39(y)= $575.53-------------------------------------(1)
