Given
gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.
Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.
To proof
gas prices now = $3.75
let the gas price 6 month ago = x
gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago
First write 10% in simpler form
= 0.1
Now the equation becomes
0.1x + x = 3.75
1.1x = 3.75
x = 3.41 (approx)
Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )
Hence proved
Answer:
The given line segment whose end points are A(2,2) and B(3,8).
Distance AB is given by distance formula , which is
if we have to find distance between two points (a,b) and (p,q) is
=
AB= = 6.08 (approx)
Line segment AB is dilated by a factor of 3.5 to get New line segment CD.
Coordinate of C = (3.5 ×2, 3.5×2)= (7,7)
Coordinate of D = (3.5×3, 3.5×8)=(10.5,28)
CD = AB × 3.5
CD = √37× 3.5
= 6.08 × 3.5
= 21.28 unit(approx)
2. Slope of line joining two points (p,q) and (a,b) is given by
m=
m=
As the two lines are coincident , so their slopes are equal.
Slope of line AB=Slope of line CD = 6
