Answer:

The equation representing the new path is;

y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the first walking park across the park is y = -3·x - 3

By comparison to the equation of a straight line, y = m·x + c, where m = the slope of the line, the slope of the line y = -3·x - 3  is -3

The park's new walking path direction = Perpendicular to first walking path

A line perpendicular to a line of  (as example) y = m₁·x + c has a slope of -1/m

∴ The park's new walking path slope = -1/(Slope of first path) = -1/(-3) = 1/3

The point the paths will intersect = (-3, 6)

The equation of the line is found by recalling that Slope, \, m_1 =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where:

y₂ and x₂ are coordinates of a point on the new walking path

y₁ and x₁ are coordinates of a point on the new walking path intersecting the first walking path

Given that (-3, 6) is the intersection of the two walking paths, therefore, it is a point on the new walking path and we can say x₁ = -3, y₁ = 6

Therefore, we have;

Slope, \, m_1 =\dfrac{y_{2}-6}{x_{2}-(-3)} = \dfrac{y_{2}-6}{x_{2}+3} =\dfrac{1}{3}

Which gives;

(y₂ - 6) × 3 = x₂ + 3

y₂ - 6 = (x₂ + 3)/3

y₂ = (x₂ + 3)/3 + 6  = 1/3·x₂ + 1 + 6 = 1/3·x₂ + 7

Which gives the equation representing the new path as y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + 7.

Factor completely 2x5 + 10x4 - 22x3.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:  2x³(x² + 5x - 11)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

2x⁵ + 10x⁴ - 22x³

Factor out the GCF (2x³)

2x³(x² + 5x - 11)

Since there are no values whose product is -11 and sum is +5, this cannot be factored further.

An 8 foot square floor is to be covered with square tiles measuring 8 inches on each side. If each tile costs 50 cents, how much
wariber [46]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...

  12 × 12 = 144

tiles will be needed to cover the area.

The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...

  (144)($0.50) = $72.00
