<span>we will use Thalès theorem
since triangle PRQ and ARC are similar
PR  =  QR =   PQ
AR      CR       AC 
so we can use
</span>PR  =  PQ
<span>AR      AC </span>     
but AR = CR   finally, PQ = AC x PR  / CR 

PQ = <span>9.6  x  4.8  / 7.2  = 6.4</span>

 the true answer is <span>6.4 inches</span>

The population of a city is expected to decrease by 6% next year. If x represents the current population, write an expression th
Kaylis [27]

Given:

Current population = x

The population of a city is expected to decrease by 6% next year.

To find:

The expression that represents the expected population next year. ​

Solution:

We have,

Current population = x

Decrease rate = 6%.

Expected population next year = Current population - 6% of Current population

                                                    =x-\dfrac{6}{100}x

                                                    =x-0.06x

                                                    =0.94x

Therefore, the expression for the expected population next year is 0.94x.

Find the equation of the line.<br> Use exact numbers
klasskru [66]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. First, find the slope; this can be done in two ways, counting change in y and x then dividing, or using the formula \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }. Either way for this graph the slope comes out as -1/3. Next, find the y-intercept, this is where the line intersects with the y-axis. In this case, the line touches the axis at 5, therefore 5 is the value of b.
