To help solve this, we need to use the slope formula.

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We get these values by picking two points on a line.

For JL, we will pick points (-5, -3) and (-2, -4).

y1 = -4

y2 = -3

x1 = -2

x2 = -5.

Let's plug these into our formula.

(-3) - (-4) / (-5) - (-2) = -1/3

For LN, we will pick points (-2, -4) and (7, -7).

y1 = -7

y2 = -4

x1 = 7

x2 = -2.

Lets plug these values into our equation.

(-4) - (-7) / (-2) - (7) = -1/3

Therefore,

(-3) - (-4) / (-5) - (-2) = (-4) - (-7) / (-2) - (7)

The correct answer is G.

What is <br><br> 3x+2y=-13<br> 3x+4y=1

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The values are

x = -25/9 = -2 7/9

y = 7/3 = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -13 --------eqn 1

3x + 4y = 1-------------eqn2

Using eqn 2 to get the value of y

3x + 4y = 1

4y = 1 - 3x

Dividing both sides by 4,to get y

4y/4 =( 1 -3x) / 4

y = (1 - 3x) / 4

Since we've gotten the value for y, substitute the value into eqn 1

3x + 2y = -13

3x + 2(3x - 1)/4 = -13

Opening the bracket

3x + (6x - 2)/4 = -13

LCM = 4

(12x + 6x - 2) / 4 = -13

18x - 2 / 4 = -13

Then we cross multiply

18x - 2 = -13 * 4

18x - 2 = - 52

18x = -52 + 2

18x = -50

Divide both sides by 18, to get the value of x

18x/18 = -50/18

x = -25/9

or x = -2 7/9

The value of x is now known, so let's go back to eqn 2

Substitute x = - 25/9

3x + 4y = 1

3(-25/9) + 4y = 1

Open the bracket

-75/9 + 4y = 1

Make y the subject of the formula

4y = 1 + 75/9

LCM = 9

4y = (9 + 75)/ 9

4y = 84/9

To get y, divide both sides by 4

4y/4 = 84/9 / 4/1

y =

Note : when division changes to multiplication, it always be in its reciprocal form

y = 84/9 / 1/4

y = 84 * 1 / 9 *4

y = 84/ 36

y = 7/3

y = 2 1/3

Given a rectangular pyramid and a rectangular prism that have the same base and same height, how do their volumes compare? If th

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the prism is 3 times greater than the volume of the pyramid

Part 2) The prism would fill only one-third

Part 3) The cylinder and the cone

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) How do their volumes compare?

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

$Vprism=BH$

where

B is the area of the base of rectangular prism

H is the height of the prism

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is equal to

$Vpyramid=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the base of rectangular pyramid

H is the height of the pyramid

Compare the volumes

$Vprism=BH$ -----> equation A

$Vpyramid=\frac{1}{3}BH$ -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$Vpyramid=\frac{1}{3}Vprism$

$Vprism=(3)Vpyramid$

The volume of the prism is 3 times greater than the volume of the pyramid

Part 2) If the pyramid was full of water, how much of the prism would it fill up?

Remember that

$Vpyramid=\frac{1}{3}Vprism$

therefore

The prism would fill only one-third

Part 3) Name another pair of three-dimensional objects that have a relationship similar to this

we have the cylinder and the cone

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

$Vcylinder=\pi r^{2}h$

The volume of the cone is equal to

$Vcone=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$

Compare the volumes

$Vcylinder=(3)Vcone$

The volume of the cylinder is 3 times greater than the volume of the cone
