Answer:
u = -2

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

We are given :
slope = 1/8
point (u,-9) represent (x1,y1)
point (6,-8) represent (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above equation and solve for u as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
1/8 = (-8--9) / (6-u)
1/8 = (1) / (6-u)
1* (6-u) = 1*8
6-u = 8
u = 6-8
u = -2

Hope this helps :)

Seattle, WA and San Francisco, CA lie on the same longitudinal line. San Francisco is at 38° latitude and Seattle is at 47° lati
Helen [10]

Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

47^o-38^o=9^o

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° ​​is the angle α:

\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi

\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi


<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>

Can i have help on this q plz
lukranit [14]

Answer:

No, they will need an additional £34 to stay the planned 10 nights.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached screenshot of a spreadsheet.

The cost for 10 nights for the 2 people is £100.

The tent site rental (over 10m^2) for 10 nights is £150.

Savings for the two over the 9 weeks is £216.

They will need an additional £34 to camp as planned.  

I suggest fibbing about the extra 0.5m^2 needed for the tent site.  That will reduce the bill by £30, so they are only £4 short.  Time to make a couple of friends.
