Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children, then

number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c

Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266

4c + 2c + c = 266, that is

7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )

c = 38

Thus

4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76

The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women

Find the slope and y-intercept of 5x-y=-5
trasher [3.6K]
Slope is 5
Y intercept is 5

Solve:
5x-y=-5
(Isolate Y by adding y to both sides to get it alone and adding 5 to both sides)
Y=5x+5
We know that slope (m) is w the X so in this case it is 5
And then to find the y intercept we substitute O for X.
Y=5(0)+5
Y=5

I need help with this! Quick ASAP?

Answer:

a) F

b) B, E, D

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The segment with the greatest gradient has the largest change in y-values per unit change in x-values

From the given option, the rate of change of the <em>y </em>to the<em> </em>x-values of B = the gradient = (4 units)/(2 units) = 2

The gradient of F = (-3units)/(1 unit) = -3

The gradient of A = 4/4 = 1

The gradient of C = -2/5

The gradient of D = 2/6 = 1/3

The gradient of E = 3/4

The segment with the greatest gradient is F

b) The steepest segment has the higher gradient

From their calculated we have;

The gradient of segment B = 2 therefore, B is steeper than E that has a gradient of 3/4, and E is steeper than D, as the gradient of D = 1/3

Therefore, we have;

B, E, D.
