4:7
7-4=3
if al has 60 more than ruth
60=3 units
divide by 3
20=1unit
20 times 4=80
20*7=140
so ruth:alison=80:140
alisonn gave 35 to ruth
80+35=115
140-35=105
so ruth:alson=115:105=23:21

new ratio is 23:21

The annual interest rate of Mike's savings account is 4.8%, and simple interest is calculated monthly. What is the periodic inte

Reptile [31]

The correct option will be: d. 0.4%

For finding the periodic interest rate , we need to divide the annual interest rate by the number of times interest calculated in a year.

Here, the simple interest is calculated monthly, that means the number of times interest calculated in a year will be 12.

Annual interest rate is 4.8%

So, the periodic interest rate = $\frac{4.8}{12}= 0.4$ %

I now have another question to ask.

Answer:

23.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Sketch a right triangle representing this situation. The length of the hypotenuse is 26 ft and the angle of elevation from ground to top of ladder is 65°. The "opposite side" is the reach of the ladder, which we'll call x.

Then:

opp

sin 65° = ----------
26 ft

or (26 ft)(sin 65°) = opp side = height off the ground of top of ladder.

Evaluating this, we get:

(26 ft)(0.906) = 23.56 ft, or, rounded off, 23.6 ft

The ladder reaches 23.6 ft up the side of the building.

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

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

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

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