Answer:

k = ⅕  

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b, where

m = the slope and

b = the y-intercept

Data:

(3,4)     = a point on the line

(3k,0)   = x-intercept

(0,-5k) = y-intercept

Calculations:

1. Slope

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-5k - 0)/(0 - 3k) = -5/(-3) = ⁵/₃

This makes the equation

y = ⁵/₃x - 5k

2. k

Insert the value of the known point: (3,4)

4 = (⁵/₃)(3) - 5k

4 = 5 - 5k

-1 = -5k

k = ⅕

The figure below shows your graph passing through (3,4) with intercepts 3k and -5k on the x- and y-axes respectively .

Mr. Jones wants to place a chimney on his roof. It is recommended that the chimney be set at a height of at least 30 feet. The h
Tom [10]

Absolute value of any number is always positive because it represent distance and distance will always positive.

To place chimney at  least 30 feet , the distance along the width of the roof  (x) will be  x = 17.5 feet or x = 2.5 feet.

Since, The height of the roof is described by the function f(x)=−4/3|x−10| + 40

Since, minimum height is 30 feet.

So , substitute f(x)=30 in above expression.

                 30=−4/3|x−10| + 40

                   4/3|x−10| = 10

                      |x−10|=30/4

                      |x−10| = 7.5

Taking positive case,

                           x−10 = 7.5

                           x = 17.5 feet

Taking negative case,

                          x−10 = - 7.5

                          x = 10 - 7.5

                          x = 2.5 feet

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering p
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.778 times more or 16/9 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''

- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"

Find:

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?

Solution:

- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:

                                           LGP ∝ A

- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:

                                           A ∝ D^2

- Hence,                              LGP ∝ D^2

- Now compare the two diameters given:

                                           LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2

                                           LGP ∝ (D_2)^2

- Take a ratio of both:

                           LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2

- Plug in the values:

                               LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2

- Compute:             LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

If 15 people can empty the truck in 60 minutes, how long will it take 25 people to empty the same truck.
nikklg [1K]
60 divide dos by 15 is 4, so it takes 4 minutes for each person to empty it.
25 x 4 = 100, so the answer would be 100 minutes.
