Basketball player made 36 free throws in 16 games. Find the ratio of free throws to games.

Answer:

9:4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that

Number of free throws = 36

Number of games = 16

We have to find the ratio of  free throws to games. Therefore, the required ratio is given by

\frac{\text{free throws}}{\text{number of games}}=\frac{36}{16}

On simplifying the ratio, we get

\frac{\text{free throws}}{\text{number of games}}=\frac{9}{4}

Therefore, the ratio of free throws to games is 9:4

36 free throws , 16 games
ratio of free throws to games is 36:16 which reduces to 9:4

u have to pay attention to the wording of problems such as these..because if it would have asked for the ratio of games to free throws, it would have been 16:36 = 4:9

Can anyone help me with this question? <br>what is 6y+8x=24
Effectus [21]

so you will have to convert it to slope intercept form which is y=mx+B so you will have to isolate the y

6y+8x=24 subtract 8x to both sides

6y=-8x+24

divide 6 by both sides

y= -8/6x + 4

simplify

y= -4/3x + 4

the slope of the line is -4/3

Find the minimum and maximum possible areas for a rectangle measuring 4.15 cm by 7.34 cm. Round to the nearest hundredth. A. min
Shalnov [3]

This is probably in the context of a discussion of significant figures and accuracy.

When we record a measurement of 4.15 cm with two significant figures, that means we believe the exact value is in the range from 4.145 cm to  41.155 cm

Similarly 7.34 really means between 7.335 and 7.345 cm.

The minimum area rectangle is 

4.145 \times 7.335 = 30.403575 \approx 30.40

The maximum area rectangle is

4.155 \times 7.345 =30.518475 \approx 30.52

Choice A

A triangle is formed from the points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8). Find the equation of the following lines:
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Part A) y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}  

Part B)  y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}

Part C) y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

points L(-3, 6), N(3, 2) and P(1, -8)

Part A) Find the equation of the  median from N

we Know that

The median passes through point N to midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})

M(-1,-1)

step 2

Find the slope of the segment NM

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

N(3, 2) and M(-1,-1)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-1-2}{-1-3}

m=\frac{-3}{-4}

m=\frac{3}{4}

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{3}{4}

point\ N(3, 2)

substitute

y-2=\frac{3}{4}(x-3)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y-2=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}+2

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}  

Part B) Find the equation of the  right bisector of LP

we Know that

The right bisector is perpendicular to LP and passes through midpoint segment LP

step 1

Find the midpoint segment LP

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{6-8}{2})

M(-1,-1)

step 2

Find the slope of the segment LP

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}

m=\frac{-14}{4}

m=-\frac{14}{4}

m=-\frac{7}{2}

step 3

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{7}{2}

so

m_2=\frac{2}{7}

step 4

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{2}{7}

point\ M(-1,-1) ----> midpoint LP

substitute

y+1=\frac{2}{7}(x+1)

step 5

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y+1=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}

y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{2}{7}-1

y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}

Part C) Find the equation of the altitude from N

we Know that

The altitude is perpendicular to LP and passes through point N

step 1

Find the slope of the segment LP

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

we have

L(-3, 6) and P(1, -8)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-8-6}{1+3}

m=\frac{-14}{4}

m=-\frac{14}{4}

m=-\frac{7}{2}

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to segment LP

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{7}{2}

so

m_2=\frac{2}{7}

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{2}{7}

point\ N(3,2)

substitute

y-2=\frac{2}{7}(x-3)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

y-2=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}

y=\frac{2}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}+2

y=\frac{2}{7}x+\frac{8}{7}

Please help please please
hammer [34]

Answer:

A. The lines stay parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Rigid transformations do not change angle or line relationships. When the parallel lines are rotated they stay parallel. Reflecting them will keep them parallel. If this were not true, then figured with parallel lines like rectangles and squares would change shape when reflected.
