Answer:

  • -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The billiard cue is 15 cm away from the table</u>

  • This refers to coordinates of (15, 0)

<u>The billiard cue touches the table at a point 60 cm off the ground</u>

  • This refers to coordinates of (0, 60)

<u>The slope is as per slope formula;</u>

  • m = (60 - 0)/(0-15) = 60/ -15 = -4

Thea answer is -4

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The foot of the billiard cue is 15 cm away from the table can be represented by the point (15, 0).

The top of the billiard cue touches the table at a point 60 cm off the ground can be represented by the point (0, 60)

The slope formula can be solve with the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ]

60-0/0-15

60/-15

-4

Best of Luck!

If −1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x)=ax^3−x^2+x+4, find the value of a.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given x = - 1 is a zero then f(- 1) = 0 , that is

a(- 1)³ - (- 1)² - 1 + 4 = 0

- a - 1 - 1 + 4 = 0

- a + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 2

At the city museum, child admission is $5.60 and adult admission is $9.30. On Sunday, 141 tickets were sold for a total sales of
IrinaK [193]

x = child tickets

y = adult tickets

x + y = 141

5.60x + 9.30y = 974.60

y = 141 - x

5.60x + 9.30 ( 141 - x ) = 974.60

5.60x + 1311.3 - 9.30x = 974.60

-3.70x + 1311.3 = 974.60

-3.70x = 974.60 - 1311.3

-3.70x = -336.7

x = 91

91 child tickets were sold that day

We have to convert 2% in to a decimal then multiply it into the x-value which is the months with the addition of 500 because that is the start value.If you were to graph this it would be a linear fuction, y=0.2x+500. The rate of change is found by slope, so rise over run. taking 2 points on the graph and do this
(y 2-y 1)/(x 2-x 1) and graph the equation and get two of the points and find the slope for the rate of change.
