Last month, Margo bought a tree that grows 2.5 cm each day. It was 5 cm when she bought it and now it 65 cm tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5x + 5 = 65

Subtract 5 from both sides

2.5x = 60

Divide 2.5 from both sides

x = 24 days

You will want this equation to be in y=mx+b, because you already have the slope and y-intercept. X will be the number of days she has had the plant, and Y will be the height of the tree, because it is the variable being affected by the X. The slope, or the M, is 2.5 because this is the number of centimeters the tree grows per day. The y-intercept is 5, because this is the height of the tree originally. So, the equation is Y=2.5X+5. To solve the number of days Margo will have had the plant, plug in 65 (the height of the plant after a certain amount of days) into the Y variable and solve for X. So, 65=2.5X+5. Subtract 5 from both sides to get 60=2.5X, then divide both sides by 2.5 to get X=24. So, she will have owned the plant for 24 days.

Find the equation of the line through (0,4) perpendicular to the line y = 3x

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

Gradient of given line= 3.

(Gradient of line)(3)= -1

3m= -1

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

subst. m= $- \frac{1}{3}$ into the equation:

$y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c$

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=0, y=4,

$4 = - \frac{1}{ 3} (0) + c \\ 4 = c \\ c = 4$

Thus the equation of the line is $y = -\frac{1}{3} x + 4$ .

Parallelogram JKLM has vertices J(-1, 6), K(0, 9), L(6, −3), and M(3, −3). What is the coordinates of the image if the parallelo

Digiron [165]

Answer: $(\dfrac13,-2),\ (0,-3),\ (-2,1),\ (-1,1) .$

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation rule for dilation:

$(x,y)\to(kx,ky)$ , where k = scale factor

Given : Scale factor = $-\dfrac13$

Parallelogram JKLM has vertices J(-1, 6), K(0, 9), L(6, −3), and M(3, −3)

Vertices after dilation:

$(-1,6)\to(-1\times\dfrac{-1}{3},6\times\dfrac{-1}{3})=(\dfrac13,-2)$

$(0,9)\times(0\times-\dfrac13,9\times-\dfrac13)=(0,-3)$

$(6,-3)\to(6\times-\dfrac13,\ -3\times-\dfrac13)=(-2,1)$

$(3,-3)\to (3\times-\dfrac13,\ -3\times-\dfrac13)=(-1,1)$

Hence, the coordinates of the image if the parallelogram = $(\dfrac13,-2),\ (0,-3),\ (-2,1),\ (-1,1) .$
