Answer:

It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.

Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.

22% of $580

= 580 × 0.22

= 127.6

That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.

Now,

$1200/127.6

≈ 9.4

Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

The 3r would be the independent variable and m=30 is the dependent variable. Double check the answer though.

The sum of the diagonals of a rhombus is 5√2.

Alex

Greetings!
Let ABCD be a rhombus
AC + BD = 5√2 cm

Area of ABCD = Ar△ABD + Ar △BCD
$= \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times AO + \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times OC$
$= \frac{1}{2} BD (AO + OC)$
$\frac{1}{2} BD \times AC$

$So, \frac{ BD \times AC}{2} = 4 \: cm {}^{2}$
$BD \times AC = 8$
$Now, AC + \: BD = 5 \sqrt{2}$

Squaring both sides, we get
$AC {}^{2} + BD {}^{2} + 2 AC.BD =50$
$AC {}^{2} + BD {}^{2} + 2 \times 8 = 50$
$AC {}^{2} + BD {}^{2} = 50 - 16$
$AC {}^{2} + BD {}^{2} = 34$

In △AOB, we have
$OA {}^{2} + OB {}^{2} =AB {}^{2}$
$( \frac{ AC }{2} ) {}^{2} + ( \frac{ BD}{2} ) {}^{2} = AB {}^{2}$
$\frac{ AC {}^{2} } {4} + \frac{ BD {}^{2} }{4} = AB {}^{2}$
$AC {}^{2} + BD {}^{2} = 4 AB {}^{2}$
$34 = 4 AB {}^{2}$

Square rooting both sides
$\sqrt{34} = 2 AB$
$Perimeter = 4 \: AB \\ = 2 \times 2 \: AB \\ = 2 \: \times \sqrt{34 } \\ = 2 \sqrt{34 \: } units$ .

Hope it helps!

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-8, -8) and (-7, 9). Substitute to the formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{9-(-8)}{-7-(-8)}=\dfrac{17}{1}=17$

Put the coordinates of the point (-7, 9) and the value of slope to the point-slope formula:

$y-9=17(x-(-7))\\\\\boxed{y-9=17(x+7)}$
