Answer:

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the slope of EF

Assume E is at (-2, 5) and F is at (1, 3).

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (3 - 5)/(1 -(-2)) = -⅔

2. Calculate the slope of the parallel line

m₂ = m₁ = -⅔

3. Calculate its y-intercept

y = mx + b

6 =-⅔(2) + b

Simplify

6 = -⁴/₃ + b

Add ⁴/₃ to each side

b = 6 + ⁴/₃ = ¹⁸/₃ + ⁴/₃ = ²²/₃

The y-intercept is at (0,²²/₃).

4. Write the equation for the line

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃

The diagram shows EF in red. The parallel line in black passes through (2, 6) with a y-intercept at (0,²²/₃).

It is good equation. Look, that:
81 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 3^4.
So you have to solve:
3^x = 3^4 
exponents have to be the same, so
x=4
That's mean that A(4) = 81

a triangle has an area of 54 m2 and a height of 9m how long is the base of the triangle entered your answer in the box
Delvig [45]
Answer:
base of the triangle = 12 m

Explanation:
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
We are given that:
area = 54 m^2
height = 9 m

Substitute in the equation to get the base as follows:
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
54 = 1/2 * base * 9
108 = 9*base
base = 12 m

Hope this helps :)

A music store sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets in one month. Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99. If total s
vodomira [7]
Answer: 16

Solution:

1) Use letters to identify the variables:

Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c

2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.

2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets

=> t + c = 27

2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99

Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c

Total cost = 149t + 99c

2.3) Total sales were $3223

=> 149t + 99c = 3223.

3) State the system of equations:

Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223

4) Solve the system of equations:

4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:

=> 149t + 149c = 4023

4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1

=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223

=> 50c = 800

=> c = 800 / 50 = 16

5) Verify the solution:

From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11

Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223

Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
