What is the equation of a line that passes through (-6, 2) and has a slope of -1/2 ?

B=y=-x/2-1 <span>(-6,2). When x of the line is -6, y of the line must be 2.</span>Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (-6,2).

So, why not plug in for x the number -6 and for y the number 2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

<span>(-6,2). y=mx+b or 2=-1/2 × -6+b, or solving for b: b=2-(-1/2)(-6). b=-1.</span>

ElenaW [278]

$\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}$

$\rightarrow$ Let the women's height be AE and distance between the women and tower be AC.

Also let the height of tower be BC.

$\rightarrow$ Now, clearly it is forming a triangle.

So, in triangle ABC,

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{Tan50° \:= \: \frac{BC}{AC}}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{1.19 \:= \: \frac{BC}{50}}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{1.19 ×50\:= \: BC}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{59.5m\:= \: BC}$

$\rightarrow$ Hence, BC = 59.5m

So, BD(total height of the tower) $\sf{ = \:BC+CD}$

$\sf{= \:59.5+1.65}$

$\sf{=\: 61.15m}$

Therefore, total height of the tower = $\sf\purple{ 61.15m.}$

Answer:

260 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gareth's stickers be x.

Hence Cheryl sticker is 160+x;

If Cheryl gave 185 stickers

to Gareth, it means:

Cheryl has at the moment;

160 + x - 185 = x - 25

At this time when Gareth receives 185 he now has:

x+ 185

Also when he receives x +185, he has 3 times Cherry's meaning:

x+185 =3(x-25)

x + 185 = 3x -75

185 + 75 = 3x-2x

260= x

x = 260.

Hence Gareth has 260 stickers

In a certain apartment building the ratio of tenants to cars is 3:5. if there are 30 tenants, how many cars are there?

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

I want to say 50 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If i am correct, there are more cars than people overall:

tenants to cars

3:5

so when you have 30 tenants you can multiply the cars by ten because that is what you did on the other side.

In rectangle $ABCD$, $AD=1$, $P$ is on $\overline{AB}$, and $\overline{DB}$ and $\overline{DP}$ trisect $\angle ADC$. Write the

Studentka2010 [4]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

w+x+y+z = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When right angle ADC is divided into three equal parts (trisected), each of those parts is 90°/3 = 30°. Thus, ∠CDB = ∠PBD = ∠PDB = 30°.

The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are in the proportion 1 : √3 : 2. Hence BD = 2, and PD = PB = 2/√3 = (2/3)√3.

Then the perimeter of ∆BDP is ...

... perimeter ∆BDP = BD + DP + PB

... = 2 + (2/3)√3 + (2/3)√3

... = 2 + (4√3)/3 . . . . . . . . w=2, x=4, y=3, z=3

w + x + y + z = 2+4+3+3 = 12
