Answer:

y = 3/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (-1 - (-7)) / (4 - (-4))

= 6 / 8

= 3/4

y-intercept:

y = mx + b

use the slope above and anyone of the given points to find b. Let's use (4, -1)

(-1) = 3/4(4) + b

-1 = 12/4 + b

- 1 = 3 + b

b = -4

Equation of a line:

y = mx + b

use the m and b from above to form the equation of a line.

y = 3/4x - 4

4 * 7 = 28.
28 + (-10) = 18
Therefore, the answer is 18.

If you want to check this, you can subtract 7 from 18 four times.

This figure is

Ratling [72]

Solution

The perimeter of the 1/4 of the circle is = (pi/2 + 2)r

Here pi = 3.14, r = 3

Now plug in the values in to the above formula.

=(3.14/2 + 2) 3

= (1.57 + 2) 3

= 3.57*3

Perimeter of the circle = 10.71 cm.

The answer is C) 10.7 cm

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$63.44^{0}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom's resultant speed is calculated as $\sqrt{1^{2}+2^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{5}$

The distance tom swim is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

sin = opposite/hypotenuse = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5} }$ = 1/5 = 0.2

arcsin (0.2) = $26.56^{0}$

upstream angle =

$90^{0} - 26.56^{0}$ =

$63.44^{0}$
