Using the given points and line, determine the slope of the line. (1, 2) and (2, 1) slope = 2 slope = 1 slope = -1

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (2 - 1) / (1 - 2)

= -1

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = $(\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in$

b)the length of the wire for the square = $(\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in$

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

b= $\frac{y}{4}$

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

$A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}$

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the circle be;

2πr = 60-y

$r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }$

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

$A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2$

$=( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

Total Area (A);

A = $A_S+A_C$

= $\frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

For the smallest possible area; $\frac{dA}{dy}=0$

∴ $\frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0$

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}$

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

$y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$

∴ since $y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$ , we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= $60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}$

= $\frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}$

= $\frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}$

= $(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in$

also, the length of wire for the square (y) ; $y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in$

The smallest possible area (A) = $\frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})$

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)

Mitchell buys a $1,400 dryer with an installment plan that requires 17% down. How much is the down payment?

Hunter-Best [27]

The amount of down payment Michelle paid for a dryer of $1,400 at 17% down payment is $238

Given:

Total cost of dryer = $1,400

down payment percentage = 17%

<em>Amount paid for down payment</em> = 17% of $1,400

= 17/100 × 1400

= 0.17 × 1400

= $238

Therefore, the amount of down payment Michelle paid for a dryer of $1,400 at 17% down payment is $238

•The following system of functions are shown on the graph:

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing that the system are y=-x+6 and y=x+2, then: x+2=-x+6; x+x=6-2; 2x=4; x=2, and replacing x in y we have: y=-2+6=4 and y=2+2=4, finally tha solution to sistem is (2,4)
