Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (6, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 4 = 7

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 7 ← equation of line

Answer: a) 2:1. b) 3. c) Perimeter of ΔEFG=36 Perimeter of ΔHIJ=18. d) 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find the ratio of GF and JI. 16:8. Simplify by dividing both by 8 to get 2:1.

b) Set up this equation: 6/16=x/8. Cross-multiply. 6*8=48. Divide by 16. 48/16=3.

c) First find the length of one half of GF by dividing 16 by 2. 16/2=8. Set up the Pythagorean theorem. 8^2+6^2=c^2. Square 8 and 6. 64+36=c^2. Add 64 and 36. 100=c^2. Find the square root of 100. c=10.

EF and EG both measure 10 since they are shown to be congruent. 10+10+16=36.

Next find the length of one half of JI by dividing 8 by 2. 8/2=4. Set up the Pythagorean theorem. Since we know x=3, it will be 4^2+3^2=c^2. Square both 4 and 3. 16+9=c^2. Add 16 and 9. 25=c^2. Find the square root of 25. c=5.

HJ and HI both measure 5 since they are congruent. 5+5+8=18.

d) Find the ratio of the perimeters of ΔEFG and ΔHIJ. 36:18. Simplify by dividing both by 6 to get 6:3. Simplify further by dividing both by 3 to get 2:1.

By the quadratic formula, the <em>solution</em> set of the <em>quadratic</em> equation is formed by two <em>real</em> roots: x₁ = 0 and x₂ = - 12.

<h3>How to find the solution of quadratic equation</h3>

Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation of the form a · m² + b · m + c = 0, whose solution set can be determined by the <em>quadratic</em> formula:

x = - [b / (2 · a)] ± [1 / (2 · a)] · √(b² - 4 · a · c)      (1)

If we know that a = - 1, b = 12 and c = 0, then the solution set of the quadratic equation is:

x = - [12 / [2 · (- 1)]] ± [1 / [2 · (- 1)]] · √[12² - 4 · (- 1) · 0]

x = - 6 ± (1 / 2) · 12

x = - 6 ± 6

Then, by the quadratic formula, the <em>solution</em> set of the <em>quadratic</em> equation is formed by two <em>real</em> roots: x₁ = 0 and x₂ = - 12.

The population of a city has decreased by 35% since it was last measured. If the current population is 9100 , what was the previ
Alina [70]

The previous population was 14000.

Explanation

The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.

current population=9100

previous population =x

current population is 35% less than the previous population x

9100=x*(100-35)/100\\9100=(x*65)/100\\x=(100*9100)/65=14000

The previous population was 14000.
