The straight line ℓ is perpendicular to the line y + 2x = 9 and passes through the point p(4, 3). find the x-intercept of ℓ.

1 answer:

8 0

The slope of the line l is the opposite reciprocal of y+2x=9. Rearranged the equation to y=9-2x and we get a slope of -2. The opposite reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.

y-y=m(x-x)
y-3=.5(x-4)
y=.5x+1

At the x-intercept, y=0, so
0=.5x+1
-1=.5x
x=-2

Olivia has 48 slices of ham and 36 slices of cheese to make sandwiches.

serious [3.7K]

The greatest number of sandwiches that Olivia can make is 12.

3 slices of cheese will be on each sandwich

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, Olivia has 48 slices of ham and 36 slices of cheese to make sandwiches.

We have to find what is the greatest number of sandwiches that Olivia can make? And how many slices of cheese will be on each sandwich?

Let the number of sandwiches be "n"

Then, number of slices of ham per sandwich $=\frac{48}{n}$

And, number of slices of cheese per sandwich $=\frac{36}{n}$

As slices can’t be fractions, "n" should be a factor of 48 and 36. So now let us find H.C.F of 48 and 36 as we want greatest number of sandwiches that Olivia can make.

The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48

The factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36

The common factors are those which appear on both factors of 48 and 36 are 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12.

Out of these common factors, 12 is the greatest

So, H.C.F of 48 and 36 is 12, which means n = 12

Then, number of cheese slices per sandwich $=\frac{36}{12}=3$

Hence, 12 sandwiches can be made with 3 slices of cheese per sandwich.

What is the relationship between translations, reflections, and ridgid motion?

vivado [14]

The relationship between translations, reflections, and rigid motion is that they are all types of rigid motions, which means their size does not change.

<h3>What exactly is rigid motion?</h3>

Rigid motion is the movement of a set in which the distance between points remains constant.

<h3 /><h3>What is translation?</h3>

Translation is a type of rigid motion in which an object simply slides while maintaining its direction.

<h3 /><h3>What do you mean by reflection?</h3>

A reflection, like a mirror, causes an image to flip to another location.

We must establish a connection between translations, reflections, and rigid motion.

We can conclude from the above definitions that the size of the object remains constant, but it is undergoing different transitions.

Therefore, Translations, reflections, and rigid motion all belong to the category of transformations that are rigid motions, which means that their sizes don't change.
