When the line segement is dilated , the resulting line is parallel to the original line. Know that the the slopes of parallel lines are equal. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-2,10) and (7,4) is equal to the slope of the new line .

Basically, we will just have to compute for the slope using the points (-2,10) and (7,4).

\begin{gathered} \text{slope, m = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{4-10}{7-(-2)}=\frac{-6}{9}=-\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}

A teenager who is 5 feet tall throws an object into the air. The quadratic function LaTeX: f\left(x\right)=-16x^2+64x+5f ( x ) =
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

At approximately x = 0.08 and x = 3.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball is modeled by the function:

f(x)=-16x^2+64x+5

Where f(x) is the height after x seconds.

We want to determine the time(s) when the ball is 10 feet in the air.

Therefore, we will set the function equal to 10 and solve for x:

10=-16x^2+64x+5

Subtracting 10 from both sides:

-16x^2+64x-5=0

For simplicity, divide both sides by -1:

16x^2-64x+5=0

We will use the quadratic formula. In this case a = 16, b = -64, and c = 5. Therefore:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substitute:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-64)\pm\sqrt{(-64)^2-4(16)(5)}}{2(16)}

Evaluate:

\displaystyle x=\frac{64\pm\sqrt{3776}}{32}

Simplify the square root:

\sqrt{3776}=\sqrt{64\cdot 59}=8\sqrt{59}

Therefore:

\displaystyle x=\frac{64\pm8\sqrt{59}}{32}

Simplify:

\displaystyle x=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{59}}{4}

Approximate:

\displaystyle x=\frac{8+\sqrt{59}}{4}\approx 3.92\text{ and } x=\frac{8-\sqrt{59}}{4}\approx0.08

Therefore, the ball will reach a height of 10 feet at approximately x = 0.08 and x = 3.92.

Haleigh split 4/9 of a gallon of juice into 8 cups. How much juice was in each cup?
Brut [27]

━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━

▹ Answer

<em>1/18 of a gallon of juice in each cup.</em>

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

Since we have 4/9 of a gallon of juice for 8 cups, we will divide to find the amount of juice in each cup.

\frac{4}{9} / 8

Since this operation is division, we have to change 8 to it's reciprocal which is 1/8:

\frac{4}{9}/ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{72} = \frac{1}{18}

Our final answer will be 1/18 of a gallon of juice in each cup.

Hope this helps!
