Your answer is J) 4.

We can find this by first finding the area of the old rug by multiplying 8 by 4, which gives us 32 ft².

Then we find the dimensions of the new rug by doubling 8 and 4, to give us 16 and 8, and we can then multiply these to find the area of the new rug which is 128.

Finally, we divide 128 by 32 to find the scale it was multiplied by, and we get 4.

I hope this helps!

A linear function has an x-intercept of 12 and a slope of 3/8. How does this
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 3/8

b = 12

y = (3/8)x + 12

---

Data in the table:  slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).

 Change in x and y between two points.  I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).

Change in y:  (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8))  =  3/8

Change in x:  (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1

Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8

The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.

Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12).  The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b.  Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b.  I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)

y = (3/8)x + b

Use (-2/3, -3/4)

-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b

-3/4 = (-6/24) + b

b = -(3/4) + (6/24)

b = -(9/12) + (3/12)

b = -(6/12)

b = -(1/2)

The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)

Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Choose all that apply :)
Veronika [31]

Answer:

1  Multiply the first equation by -1 then add the equations together

3. Multiply the second equation by -1 then add the equations together

4. Multiply the first equation by -2 then add the equations together

5. Multiply the first equation by 2 the second by -1 then add the equations together

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 7

2x+y = 5


1  Multiply the first equation by -1 then add the equations together

-x+-y = -7

2x+y = 5

---------------

x    =-2   then solve for y


2.  Multiply the second equation by -1 first equation by -1 then add the equations together

-x+-y = -7

-2x-y = -5

---------------

-3x -2y = -12

Still have both variables


3. Multiply the second equation by -1 then add the equations together

x+y = 7

-2x-y =- 5

----------------------

-x = 2


4. Multiply the first equation by -2 then add the equations together

-2x+-2y = -14

2x+y = 5

--------------

    -y = -9


5. Multiply the first equation by 2 the second by -1 then add the equations together

2x+2y = 14

-2x-y = -5

--------------

y = 9

What is the domain of the function y = square root x+6 -7?
salantis [7]

Answer:

  -6 ≤ x < ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the domain of the function y = √(x+6) -7.

<h3>Domain</h3>

The domain of a function is the set of x-values for which the function is defined. On a graph, it is the horizontal extent of the graph.

The square root function is undefined for negative arguments, so that limits the domain of the given function:

  x+6 ≥ 0

  x ≥ -6 . . . . . domain of the given function

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

When the domain is written in interval notation, both the left and right ends of the interval must be specified.

  [-6, ∞)

The square bracket identifies -6 as being part of the domain. The parenthesis is used with ∞, because that number has no specific value.
