Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because line PQ and line PR are both tangent to circle S, it would result in them being equal. So first to find PQ, you would have to find the value of variable x. To do this you would set both equations equal to each other and solve

6x - 9 = 2x + 3

-2x       -2x

4x - 9 = 3

    +9   +9

4x = 12

x = 3

Now you have to substitute 3 back into the equation for PQ:

6(3) - 9

18 - 9

= 9

Resulting in PQ = 9, to check your answer, take the value of x (3) and substitute it into PR and you should also get 9

2(3) + 3

6 + 3

= 9

Degger [83]

Answer:

The total price of 4\frac{1}{2}  pounds of apples is <u>$6.48</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last week,the price of apples at a grocery store was 1.60 per pound.This week,apples at the same grocery store are on sale for a 10% discount.

Now, to find the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store.

The price of apples at a grocery store last week was = $1.60 per pound.

This week apples at the same grocery store is on sale of 10% discount.

Thus, the price of apples at a grocery store this week is:

1.60-10\%\ of\ 1.60.

=1.60-\frac{10}{100} \times 1.60

=1.60-0.16

=\$1.44.

So, the price of apples per pound this week is $1.44.

Now, to get the total price of 4\frac{1}{2} pounds of apples by using unitary method:

If 1 pound of apples cost = 1.44.

Then, \frac{9}{2} pound of apples cost = 1.44\times \frac{9}{2}

=1.44\times 4.5

=\$6.48.

Therefore, the total price of 4\frac{1}{2}  pounds of apples is $6.48.

What is the slope of y-4=5/2(x-2)
OLEGan [10]
The answer is 5/2. The equation is already in point slope form. If you recall, the equation for point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) where y1 and x1 are points on the graph, and m is the slope. In the given equation, m is 5/2 so we know it is the slope.
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the point slope for equation, you can manipulate the equation to the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the constant. If you solve for y, you get y=5/2x-1 since 5/2 is in the place of m, we know 5/2 is the slope.
