Which is not an equation of the line going through (6, 7) and (2, –1)?

Answer - D.

you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...

Strategy: before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,

First you have to find the gradient (m) of the line.
you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2

replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others

Hope you get it!

The radius of a circle is 10. Using π, which equation expresses the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the circle's dia

aleksley [76]

The ratio of circumference to diameter is independent of the radius.

Defining C=circumference, r=radius, D=diameter = 2r

Circumference = C = 2 π r = π D

ratio of circumference / diameter

= C/D = π

HOW MANY BASEBALLS CAN FIT INTO THE TRACTOR TRAILER. THE TRAILER DIMENSIONS ARE 301.5"L X 96.99"W X 105.04"H AND CIRCUMFERENCE R

Shkiper50 [21]

Volume of tractor = length x width x height = 301.5 x 96.99 x 105.04 = 3,071,630.624

For baseballs of 9 inches:
$9=2\pi r \\ \\ r= \frac{9}{2\pi}$

Volume = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3= \frac{4}{3} \pi \left( \frac{9}{2\pi} \right)^3=12.31$

Number of 9 inches baseballs = $\frac{3,071,630.624}{12.31} = 249,513$

For baseballs of 9.25 inches:
$9.25=2\pi r \\ \\ r= \frac{9.25}{2\pi}$

Volume = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3= \frac{4}{3} \pi \left( \frac{9.25}{2\pi} \right)^3=13.37$

Number of 9.25 inches baseballs = $\frac{3,071,630.624}{13.36} = 229,824$

Therefore, the tractor can contain between 229,824 and 249,513 baseballs.

Help please! Lines a and b are parallel. What is the measure of angle m?

AlexFokin [52]

So the transversal (line that crosses lines a and b) is 180 since its a straight line. given the angle degree 125, you can do 180-125 to get angle m.

10. A triangle has sides with lengths 3,5, 7. Is this an acute, obtuse, or right triangle?

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

OBTUSE

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first have to figure this put via Pythagorean theroem. Basically do this (attachment)***C IS THE LARGEST NUMBER*** and know that c^2 < a^2 + b^2 (less than) = ACUTE, c^2 > a^2 + b^2 (greater than) = OBTUSE, and c^2 = a^2 + b^2 is RIGHT. If it is Right with all different numbers, it is SCALENE.
