Answer:
a=5
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2-b^2=a^2
13^2-12^2=a^2
169-144=a^2
25=a^2
5=a
Slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
By looking at the graph, we can see that the line cuts at 1/2 on the y-axis, therefore eliminating option D.
So now we have:
y = mx + 1/2Next, we'll find the slope.

Plug the coordinates into the formula.

So our slope is 5/8 and the y-intercept is 1/2.
Option A is the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- AB = 192 cm
- AC : CB = 1 : 3
- CD = BC/12
- The distance between midpoints of AD and CB = x
<u>Find the length of AC and CB:</u>
- AC + CB = AB
- AC + 3AC = 192
- 4AC = 192
- AC = 192/4
- AC = 48 cm
<u>Find CB:</u>
<u>Find the length of CD:</u>
- CD = BC/12 = 144/12 = 12 cm
<u>Find the length of AD:</u>
- AD = AC - CD = 48 - 12 = 36 cm
<u>Find the midpoint of AD:</u>
<u>Find the midpoint of CB:</u>
- m(CB) = AC + 1/2CB = 48 + 144/2 = 48 + 82 = 130 cm
<u>Find the distance between the midpoints:</u>
18 times .031 is .558
18 dollars minus .558 cents is 17.442
Answer is he was maki 17.442 dollars before the increase
