Answer:

m=4

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation is

y-5=m(x-2)

put given point in above equation

1-5=m(1-2)

-4=m(-1)

-4=-m

m=4

Answer:

m = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 1, y = 1 , that is(1,1) into the equation

1 - 5 = m(1 - 2)

- 4 = - m ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

m = 4

GenaCL600 [577]

Complete Question:

Mike took clothes to the cleaners three times last month. First, brought 4 shirts and 1 pair of slacks and paid $11.45. Then brought 7 shirts, 2 pairs of slacks, and 2 sports and paid $35.39. Finally, brought 5 shirts and 2 sports and paid $21.43 . How much was charged for each shirt, each pair of slacks, and each sports coat?

Answer:

The charges

For each Shirt = $1.49

For each pair of slacks = $5.49

For each sports coat = $6.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Shirt = a

Let pair of slacks = b

Let sports coat = c

First, brought 4 shirts and 1 pair of slacks and paid $11.45

= 4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1

b = 11.45 - 4a

Then brought 7 shirts, 2 pairs of slacks, and 2 sports and paid $35.39

= 7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2

5 shirts and 2 sports and paid $21.43

5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3

Hence:

4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1

7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2

Using elimination method

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of b = 1 in Equation 1

Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of b = 2 in Equation 2

8a + 2b = 22.9 .......Equation 4

7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 4

= a - 2c = -12.49 ........Equation 5

a = -12.49 + 2c

Subtituting -12.49 + 2c for a in Equation 3

5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3

5(-12.49 + 2c) + 2c = 21.43

= -62.45 + 10c + 2c = 21.43

Collecting like terms

10c + 2c = 21.43 + 62.45

12c = 83.88

c = 83.88/12

c = 6.99

5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3

Substituting 6.99 for c in Equation 3

5a + 2(6.99) = 21.43

5a + 13.98 = 21.43

5a = 21.43 - 13.98

5a = 7.45

a = 7.45/5

a = 1.49

4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1

Substituting 1.49 for a in Equation 1

4(1.49) + b = 11.45

b = 11.45 - 4(1.49)

b = 11.45 - 5.96

b = 5.49

Therefore, since the charges

For each shirt = a

The charges for each Shirt = $1.49

For each pair of slacks = b

The charges for each pair of slacks = $5.49

For each sports coat = c

The charges for each sports coat = $6.99

Justify conclusion on why 2 ounces of ketchup is ok to use when eating potatoe wedges

ikadub [295]

Well you haven't really given us a question that requires a "quantifiable" answer. 2 ounces is roughly equivalent to 60 grams. 2 ounces of ketchup wouldn't be an awful lot of ketchup. I'm sure that you'd remain healthy despite eating 2 ounces of ketchup along with your potato wedges.

According to the American Heart Association, women should only have about 25 grams of sugar per day. In 100g of ketchup there would be about 22g grams of sugar. If you were to eat roughly 60g of ketchup, you'd only be digesting about 13.2 grams of sugar. Now, potato wedges could also contain sugar, but you haven't stated how many grams or kilograms of potato wedges you'd be eating, so I wouldn't be able to tell you whether your meal contains too much sugar.

Are this two triangles similar?

Alex73 [517]

<h3>Answer: </h3><h3>Yes, the triangles are similar</h3><h3>AC = 6</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Focus on triangle ABC. Let's find the missing angle

A+B+C = 180

113+B+22 = 180

B+135 = 180

B = 180-135

B = 45

Between the triangles, have two pairs of angles that are congruent

A = D = 113

B = E = 45

Which is enough to prove the triangles are similar through the angle angle (AA) similarity theorem. This must mean that C = F = 22

Since we have A pair with D, and B pair with E, this means that $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DE F$

The order of the letters is important so we know how the angles pair up. The first letters pair up together, the second letters pair up, and so on.

Consequently, this means sides BC and EF pair up and AC and DF pair up

We can then say...

BC/EF = AC/DF

18/12 = x/4

18*4 = 12*x

72 = 12x

12x = 72

x = 72/12

x = 6

AC = 6
