Answer:

16cats and 19 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

if we say that x is birds and y is cats we can say that:

4.5x+8.5y=221.5 ( the amount birds and cat both need)

y+x =35 (number of cats and cats)

x=35-y

4.5(35-y) +8.5y= 221.5

157.5-4.5y +8.5y =221.5

4y=64

y= 16

16+x=35

x=19

My rule is: y= 1/3x+ 11/15 Find x, if y=1.
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

x=5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plug in 1 for y. Since a common denominator for the right side is 3, multiply both sides by 3 to get 3=x+11/5. Then multiply both sides by 5 to get 15=5x+11. Subtract 11 on both sides to get 4=5x. Finally divide by 5 to get x by itself and get x = 5/4.

The coordinates of the vertices of AJKL are J(0, 2), K(3, 1), and L(1, – 5).

Answer:

  • JK slope: -1/3
  • KL slope: 3
  • JL slope: -7
  • is
  • two of the slopes have a product of -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is useful.

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

__

JK slope = (1 -2)/(3 -1) = -1/3

KL slope = (-5-1)/(1-3) = -6/-2 = 3

JL slope = (-5-2)/(1-0) = -7

We observe that slopes (-1/3) and (3) have a product of -1, so those line segments are perpendicular. The triangle is a right triangle.

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line with negative slope goes through (0, 1) and (2, negative 2). Everything to the lef
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

y

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line passes through (0,1) and (2,-2).

Equation of a straight line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

is given by:

y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})

y-1=\frac{-2-1}{2-0}(x-0)

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1

Everything to the left of the line is shaded.

We have to visualize the graph:the straight line has a positive y-intercept and a negative slope.The graph is given in the attachment below.

From the figure we can see origin lies on the shaded region.Hence (0,0) should satisfy the inequality.

LHS=y=0

RHS=-\frac{3x}{2}+1=1\ (x=0)

LHS<RHS as 0<1

Hence , the inequality is:

y
