Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.5(-6m+8n) = 9m-12n

3(3m -4n) = 9m - 12n

9m -12n = 9m -12n

-6(-1.5m +2n) = 9m - 12n

-2(-4.5m+ 4n) = 9m - 8n

Answer: D. -2(-4.5m + 4n)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us simplify -1.5(-6m+8n).

Given:

-1.5(-6m + 8n)

Distribute:

9m - 12n

[A] ✗

9 /3 = 3 and 12 / 3 = 4

This means that 3(3m - 4n) = 9m - 12n = -1.5(-6m+8n)

Option A is not our answer.

[B] ✗

Using this simplified version we did above, option B is not our answer as 9m - 12n = 9m - 12n and 9m - 12n = -1.5(-6m+8n).

[C] ✗

We will distribute option C to see if we reach the same expression. Seeing below, we do, so option C is not our answer.

-6(-1.5m + 2n)

9m - 12n

[D] ✓

Since none of the other options are correct, the answer to your question D because it is not equivalent.

Answer:

D. -2(-4.5m + 4n)

(d): y = mx+n

m = -2/3 ⇒ y = (-2/3)x +n

A(-4, 6) ∈ d ⇒ 6 = (-2/3)·(-4) +n ⇒ 6 = 8/3 +n ⇒

⇒ n = 6 - 8/3 ⇒ n = 10/3

Now, we have:

y = (-2/3)x +10/3

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$D = 63.717$

Step-by-step explanation:

The details that complete the question are:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,42.78)$

and

$(x_2,y_1)=(90,42.78)$

Required

Determine how far the ball travelled

Distance is calculated using:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute values for x's and y's

$D = \sqrt{(42.78 - 0)^2+(42.78-90)^2}$

$D = \sqrt{42.78^2+(-47.22)^2$

$D = \sqrt{1830.1284+2229.7284$

$D = \sqrt{4059.8568$

$D = 63.717$

<em>Hence, the ball travelled a distance of 63.717 units</em>
