Ok, so here, we need to use the slope formula which is:

(y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

y2 = 9
y1 = 5

x2 = x
x1 = 10

So:

(9-5)/(x-10) = -2

Now, we just solve for x,

9-5  =  -2(x-10)

4  =  -2x+20

2x  =  16

x  =  8

What is the length of arc S shown below? Enter an exact expression.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

S = 15π = 47.12

length of arc S = 15π

Attached is the image of the arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Radius arc r = 10

Angle at the center of arc ⍉ = 3π/2

The length of the arc S can be derived using the formula;

S = r × ⍉

Substituting the values;

S = 10 × 3π/2

S = 30π/2

S = 15π =  47.12

length of arc S = 15π

A major convention center, whose floors are covered by a square carpet tiles with side lengths of 9 inches laid out in a 48 by 9
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

option B

$28.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question,

side length of one square tile = 9 inches

area of square tile = l² = 9² = 81 inches²

<h3>Step1</h3>

There are 48(96) = 4608 carpet tiles, so the company was making 4608($.05) = $230.40.

<h3>Step2 </h3>

Now, the company countered with square feet. We have a total of 4608(81) = 373,248 square inches.

1 square foot = 144 square inches.

373,248/144 = 2592 square ft.

2592($.10) = $259.20

$259.20 - $230.40 = $28.80
