Which equation matches the graph?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we can easily find this by looking at our y intercept

our y intercept here is (0, -1) so the equation who has -1 as a constant is the one were looking for

so C would be oour answer since its the only one with -1 as its constant

hope this helps <3

PQRS is a parralelogram. the position vector of Q R and S are 5i +7j, -3i-8j and -4i-6j. find the position vector of P

g100num [7]

The value of the variable x = 6 and y = 5. Then the position vector of P will be 6i + 5j.

<h3>What is the equation of a line passing through two points?</h3>

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

PQRS is a parallelogram. the position vector of Q R and S are 5i +7j, -3i-8j and -4i-6j.

Then the point of Q, R, and S will be (5, 7), (-3, -8), and (-4, -6).

Let the point P be (x, y).

We know that the slope of the line QS and PQ will be same and line is passing through (-3, -8).

y = 1.444x + C

-8 = 1.444 (-3) + C

C = -3.667

Then the equation will be

y = 1.444x – 3.667 …1

The slope of the line PQ and RS will be same and line is passing through (5, 7).

y = -2x + D

7 = -2 (5) + D

D = 17

Then the equation will be

y = -2x + 17 …2

By solving equation 1 and 2, we have

x = 6 and y = 5

Then the position vector of P will be

⇒ 6i + 5j

The graph is given below.

A golden rectangle has side lengths in the ratio of about 1 to 1.62. To the nearest tenth, what is length of the shorter side of

olga55 [171]

Answer: The length of the shorter side of a golden rectangle is about 24.7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A golden rectangle has side lengths in the ratio of about 1 to 1.62.

Since 1.62 > 1 , so

$\dfrac{\text{Length of shorter side}}{\text{Length of longer side}}=\dfrac{1}{1.62}$

If the length of the longer side is 40 inches , then we have

$\dfrac{\text{Length of shorter side}}{\text{40 inches}}=\dfrac{1}{1.62}\\\\ \Rightarrow\ \text{Length of shorter side}=\dfrac{1}{1.62}\times \text{40 inches}\\\\ \Rightarrow\ \text{Length of shorter side}=24.6913580247\approx24.7\text{ inches}$

Hence, the length of the shorter side of a golden rectangle is about 24.7 inches.

What is the gcf of 3/7 and 4/9?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

1/63

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to do this.

Look for the GCF of the numerators when a common denominator is used.

GCF(3/7, 4/9) = GCF(27/63, 28/63) = (1/63)·GCF(27, 28)

GCF(3/7, 4/9) = 1/63

Use Euclid's algorithm. If the remainder from division of the larger by the smaller is zero, then the smaller is the GCF; otherwise, the remainder replaces the larger, and the algorithm repeats.

(4/9)/(3/7) = 1 remainder 1/63*

(3/7)/(1/63) = 27 remainder 0

The GCF is 1/63.

* The quotient is 28/27 = 1 +1/27 = 1 +(1/27)(3/7)/(3/7) = 1 +(1/63)/(3/7) or 1 with a remainder of 1/63.

<em>Additional comment</em>

3/7 = (1/63) × 27

4/9 = (1/63) × 28
