Xint is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0

that means when you spen 0 minutes producing vegetable cans
that is when you spend all your time making fruit cans

Y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis which meanswhen you spend 0 minutes producing fruit cans, with the rest of the time you spend is producing vegetable cans

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by

Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

$A = wl$

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

$l = 2w + 3, A = 9$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$w(2w+3) = 9$

$2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0$

Thus a quadratic equation with $a = 2, b = 3, c = -9$

Then

$\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81$

$w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5$

$w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3$

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

the slope of a line passing through h (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of the given points with the point (- 2, 5 )

If the slope is - $\frac{3}{4}$ then the point is on the line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-5}{6+2}$ = $\frac{-6}{8}$ = - $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (6, - 1) is on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8)

m = $\frac{8-5}{2+2}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (2, 8) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{-5+2}$ = $\frac{-4}{-3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (- 5, 1) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{1+2}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (1, 1) is not on the line

Thus the point on the line is (6, - 1 ) → A

What is the reciprocal of a negetive number?

lana [24]

Answer:

The reciprocals of a number is sometimes called the Multiplicative Inverse of the number. The product of a negative number and its reciprocal equals 1. If the number is negative then the reciprocal must also be negative to produce a product of +1. The reciprocal of -4 is -1/4.
