Find the equation of the line passing through the points (3,-2) and (3, 4).The answer is x = 3. I'm just wondering how my textbo

Leviafan [203]

Given two points. we can find the equation of a line passing through the points

The formula to be used is:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_!}=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_!}$

where

$x_1=3,y_!=-2,x_2=3,y_2=4$ $\frac{4-(-2)}{3-3}=\frac{y-(-2)}{x-3}$

=>

$\frac{6}{0}=\frac{y+2}{x-3}$

The next step is to cross multiply

$6(x-3)=0(y+2)$

=>

$6(x-3)=0$

Divide both sides by 6 and make x the subject

x=3

When working overtime, an auto mechanic gets paid 1.5 times the normal hourly wage. Overtime is the amount of time worked beyond

DedPeter [7]

So

x=hours
y=pay

use a piecewise function maybe

for x≤40, use y=21x

for x>40, use 840+1.5(21(x-40))

k, sso 46>40 so

840+1.5(21(46-40))
840+1.5(21(6))
840+1.5(126)
840+189
1029

A. 840+1.5(21(x-40))
B. $1029

A swimming pool that holds 10,000 gallons of water is being filled at a rate of 600 gallons per hour. The function h(x)=600x rep

Vladimir79 [104]

*assume the pool is empty at the beginning

a) plug 3.25 into the equation and solve

h(3.25) = 600*3.25 = 1950 gallons

b) after 3.25 hours the total amount of water will be 1950 gallons

A rectangular prism has a length of 4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm. A similar prism has a length of 14.7 cm,

grigory [225]

Answer: 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimensions of larger prism = length of 4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm.

Dimensions of smaller prism = length of 14.7 cm, a width of 20.3 cm, and a height of 33.6 cm.

Scale factor = $\dfrac{\text{Size of image}}{\text{Size of original figure}}$

Since, smaller figure is the original figure and the bigger one is the image.

So, scale factor = $\dfrac{14.7}{4.2}=3.5$ [Taking lengths

Hence, the factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of the larger prism = 3.5
