Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x - $\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 4x + 38 is in this form with slope m = - 4

The line ST is perpendicular to line RS ( angles in a square are 90° )

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-4}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = $\frac{1}{2}$ + c ⇒ c = - 4 - $\frac{1}{2}$ = - $\frac{9}{2}$

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x - $\frac{9}{2}$ ← equation of ST

What are the center and radius of the circle given by the equation ?

valina [46]

General formula of the circle

(x-a)² + (y - b)² = r²,

where (a,b) - coordinates of the center, r - radius of the circle.

(x-3)²+(y+4)²=4

(x-3)²+(y+4)²=2²

So, the center is (3, -4) and radius r = 2.

A. (3, –4); 2

Answer question 8,9 and 10 with full details.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

8. (1)

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(sum of || sides) *perpendicular distance

36 =1/2(x+ y) * 6

36 = ((x + y)*3

36/3 = x + y

12 = x + y

x + y = 12.... (1)

8(2)

It is given that:

x = 2y....(2)

From equations (1) & (2)

2y + y = 12

3y = 12

y = 12/3

y = 4

From equation (2)

x = 2y = 2*4

x = 8

Area of square = 1 square m

Side of square = 1 m

Area of circle = 1 square m

$\pi {r}^{2} = 1 \\ {r}^{2} = \frac{1}{\pi} \\ r = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{\pi} } \\ c = 2\pi \: r \\ c = 2\pi \times \frac{1}{ \sqrt{\pi} } \\ c = 2 \sqrt{\pi} \\ c = 2 \sqrt{3.14} \\ c = 2 \times 1.77200451 \\ c = 3.54400902 \\ c = 3.544 \\ difference = 3.544 - 1 = 2.544 \\difference \approx \: 2.54$

A decent-sized square plot of land in town is one acre. If Mr. Pearson wants to play football with his son Connor, then how far

sammy [17]

One acre of land is equal to 4046.86 sq.m.
To know how far they can throw the ball from corner to corner can be interpreted in two ways: throwing the ball diagonally across the field or throwing the ball horizontally across the field. For the first question, since the field is a square, you can use the equation Diagonal of Square = A x sq.root of 2.

In this case, the answer would be 89.97 m.

If the ball is thrown horizontally across the field, then you would only need to know the length of one side of the square, which is the square root of the area. Doing this would give you the answer 63.61 m.
