Answer: The mass of each passenger is 550 kg.

The mass of front decoration = 200 Kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mass of each passenger be 'x'.

Let the mass of front decoration be 'y'.

So, Number of passenger = 6

Mass of 6 passengers and front decoration = 3500 kg.

Number of passengers = 4

Mass of 4 passengers and front decoration = 2400 kg.

According to question, it becomes,

6x+y=3500\\\\\implies y=3500-6x----------------(1)\\\\4x+y=2400\\\\\implies y=2400-4x---------------(2)

so, From Eq(1) and Eq(2), we have,

3500-6x=y=2400-4x\\\\3500-6x=2400-4x\\\\3500-2400=-4x+6x\\\\1100=2x\\\\x=\frac{1100}{2}=550

Hence, the mass of each passenger is 550 kg.

The mass of front decoration = 3500-550(6)=200 Kg.

A line passes through the point (-4, -2) and has a slope of -5/2. Write an equation in slope- intercept form for this line.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<h2>           y = -⁵/₂x - 12 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:

m = -⁵/₂

(-4, -2)    ⇒   x₀ = -4,  y₀ = -2

The point-slope form of the equation:

y + 2 = -⁵/₂(x + 4)

So:

y + 2 = -⁵/₂x - 10         {subtract 2 from both sides}

y = -⁵/₂x - 12             ←  the slope-intercept form of the equation

The measure of angle KMJ??
Irina18 [472]
44

Assuming JM and LN are parallel, KMJ=MKN. MKN is part of a triangle where the other two values are defined (48 and 88). By subtracting these values from 180, we find the value of MKN is 44, which therefore is also the value of KMJ.
