Considering the definition of map and scale, an actual distance of 269.59 km represent a scale distance of 5.7 inches .

<h3>Definition of map and scale</h3>

A map is a representation of a place, at a size smaller than the real size.

The scale of a cartographic representation is the relationship of similarity between the real dimensions of the geographical space represented and those of its image on the map. That is, the scale is defined as the proportionality relationship that exists between a distance measured on the ground and its corresponding measurement on the map.

One way to represent the scale is by a fraction, which indicates the proportion between the distance on a map and its corresponding distance in reality:

Scale=\frac{distance on the map}{distance in reality}

<h3>Actual distance in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a scale distance of 3.5 inches on a map represent an actual distance of 175 km.

To know the real distance that represents a scale distance of 5.7 inches, as the scale ratio is the same as in the previous case, it is expressed:

\frac{3.7 inches}{175 km}=\frac{5.7 inches}{distance in reality}

Solving:

\frac{3.7 inches}{175 km}×distance in reality= 5.7 inches

distance in reality= \frac{5.7 inches}{\frac{3.7 inches}{175 km}}

<u><em>distance in reality= 269.59 km</em></u>

In summary, an actual distance of 269.59 km represent a scale distance of 5.7 inches .

A city manager made a scatter plot of the number or retail store in a certain city over the years. the scatter plot had a trend
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

155

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem sounds complicated, but it's not. Let's analyse.

The city manager have come up with an equartion y=11x +12, with Y is the total number of the stores and X stands for how long it has been since 2003.

We can't explain how the manager came up with this equation, so iwe don't need to think of if the equation is real or not. Let's just base on what we have.

Because the equation aboce is a trendy line, it means that it would likely to be true with any X ( number of years since 1990).

In Tracy's case, the year is 2003, so it has been 2003 - 1990 = 13 years since 1990. This is the X in the equation. Now we only need to find Y in the equation, which is the number of retail stores there were in 2003, exactly what the problem asks.

y= 11x + 12

=> In Tracy's case: y= 11*13 + 12= 155

So the number of retail stores there were in 2003 was 155

The slope of a line that passes through points (5, 14) and (-4, y) is 4/9. What is the value of y?​
Monica [59]

Answer:

slope=m=4/9

(x',y')=(5,14)

(x",y")=(-4,y)

we have

m=(y"-y')/(x"-x')

4/9=(-4-5)/(y-14)

4y-56=-81

4y=-81+56

y=-25/4
