Answer:

B - y = 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find slope

2x + 4y = 6

4y = -2x + 6

Make y the subject of the formula

y =( -2x + 6)/4

We can separate to get the slope

y = -2x/4 + 6/4

y = -x/2 + 3/2

Slope m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form equation

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, it is always a negative reciprocal of each other

ie m = 2

Substitute m into the equation

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

Step 3: sub the point

( 6 , 4)

x1 = 6

y1 = 4

y - 4 = 2( x - 6)

Step 4 : using a slope intercept form equation

Open the bracket

y - 4 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 12 + 4

y = 2x - 8

The equation of a line is

y = 2x - 8

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The survey results will be inaccurate since the entire sample of the population was eating at the same restaurant.

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing a survey you must make sure it is unbiased by asking a variety of people for example if you are wondering what is the favorite class at school you have to ask a certain amount of people from each class because if you ask only people from P.E the answer more than likely will be P.E or if u ask 3 people from Art and 17 from P.E your answer will properly be P.E. Make sense?

Tre's walk from his house to the bus stop is of a mile. He is able to complete the walk each day in of an hour. What is Tre's wa
umka21 [38]

Tre's walking speed is 1mi/hr.

Data given;

  • distance = 1 mile
  • time = 1 hour

<h3>Speed or Velocity</h3>

This is the rate at which an object covers a distance within a particular time frame.

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

substituting the values into the equation

speed = \frac{1}{1}\\ speed = 1 m/s

Tre's walking speed is 1mi/hr

Do I multiply, area, explain pkease
KIM [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is 1/2h(b1+b2)

Height is 8 in. Base 1 is 5 in and Base 2 is 10 in. Do not use the diagonal side.

For the triangle-scalene triangle area formula is bh/2 (base times height divided by 2) The base is 5 in and the height is 4 inches.

For the paralellogram multiply base by height. 6 multiplied by 5 is 30

A hiker on the Appalachian Trail planned to increase the distance covered by 10% each day. After 7 days, the total distance trav
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  6.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of distances is a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio (1 +10%) = 1.10. The sum of 7 terms of the sequence is ...

  S7 = a1·(r^7 -1)/(r -1)

  56.923 = a1·(1.1^7 -1)/(1.1 -1)

  5.6923 = a1·0.9487171

Dividing by the coefficient of a1 gives its value:

  5.6923/0.9487171 ≈ 5.999997 ≈ 6.000

The hiker traveled 6.0 miles on the first day.
