<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3>

4x - 3y = 15

====================================================

Explanation:

The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line

Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (2,3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{3 - (-1)}{2 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{3 + 1}{2 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.

-------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.

Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

3x + 4y = -4\\\\4y = -3x-4\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{4}{4}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-1

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.

Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.

Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.

  • slope of equation B is 3/4
  • slope of equation C is -4/3
  • slope of equation D is 4/3

We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.

You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

A calzone is divided into 24 equal pieces. Glenn and Ben each ate one eighth of the calzone on Thursday. The next​ day, Ben ate
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Since on Thursday Glenn and Ben each ate an eight, then total they ate 2*1/8=2/8=¼

¼ of 24 pieces is equivalent to

¼*24=6 pieces

The number of pieces that remain would be 24-6=18 pieces

The one third of leftover ate rhe next day will be equivalent to

⅓ of 18

⅓*18=6 pieces

Remaining pieces next day will be 18-6=12 pieces

Therefore, only 12 pieces out of 24 original pieces remain the following day.

Math HW please help.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

A  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A = ½θR²

R = x

x = √(2Α/θ)

θ = (360 - 60)(π/180) = 5π/3 radians

x = √(2(15π/2) / (5π/3))

x = √(15π(3/5π))

x = √9

x = 3
