Answer:

6% of a pound does not weigh more than 1 ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will calculate 6% (0.06) of 1 pound.

0.06 × 1 lb = 0.06 lb

1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. 0.06 pounds, expressed in ounces is:

0.06 lb × (16 oz/ 1 lb) = 0.96 oz

6% of a pound = 0.96 oz

0.96 oz < 1 oz

Due to the transitive property, we can affirm that 6% of a pound does not weigh more than 1 ounce.

The graph of y > 1 2 x - 2 is shown. Which set contains only points that satisfy the inequality? A) {(6, 1), (-1, -3), (4, 4)

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Option B) {(1, -1), (-3, -3), (2, 4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality is

$y>\frac{1}{2}x-2$

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line $y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If a ordered pair satisfy the inequality, then the ordered pair must lie in the shaded area of the solution

Verify each case

case A) {(6, 1), (-1, -3), (4, 4)}

ordered pair (6,1)

For x=6, y=1

substitute in the inequality

$1>\frac{1}{2}(6)-2$

$1>1$ ---> is not true

therefore

The point not satisfy the inequality

case B) {(1, -1), (-3, -3), (2, 4)}

ordered pair (1,-1)

For x=1, y=-1

substitute in the inequality

$-1>\frac{1}{2}(1)-2$

$-1>-1.5$ ---> is true

The point satisfy the inequality

ordered pair (-3,3)

For x=-3, y=3

substitute in the inequality

$3>\frac{1}{2}(-3)-2$

$3>-3.5$ ---> is true

The point satisfy the inequality

ordered pair (2,4)

For x=2, y=4

substitute in the inequality

$4>\frac{1}{2}(2)-2$

$4>-1$ ---> is true

The point satisfy the inequality

therefore

The set contains only points that satisfy the inequality

case C) {(1, -1), (-3, -3), (4, -2)}

ordered pair (4,-2)

For x=4, y=-2

substitute in the inequality

$-2>\frac{1}{2}(4)-2$

$-2>0$ ---> is not true

therefore

The point not satisfy the inequality

case D) {(-1, -3), (-3, -3), (2, 4)}

ordered pair (-1,-3)

For x=-1, y=-3

substitute in the inequality

$-3>\frac{1}{2}(-1)-2$

$-3>-2.5$ ---> is not true

therefore

The point not satisfy the inequality

Answer it pls and explain too

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

y-intercept: (0, 5); slope: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope (m) is found from ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Using the first two points in the table, this is ...

m = (8 -6)/(12 -4) = 2/8 = 1/4 . . . . . eliminates choices A and C

Then, the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as ...

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y -6 = (1/4)(x -4) . . . fill in known values

y = 1/4x -1 +6 . . . . . add 6

y = 1/4x +5

Then the value of y when x=0 is ...

y = 0 +5 = 5

So, the y-intercept is (0, 5) and the slope is 1/4, matching the last choice.

Which expression iWhich expression is equivalent to x + 8 + 4x + 2x for all values of x?s equivalent to x + 8 + 4x + 2x for all

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A = l * w. We can substitute the expressions for length and width into the equation for area ... values in the formula for perimeter, we will get. P = 2l + 2w. P = 2(5)+2(3) P = 10+6 ... L = 18 cm. B = 7 cm. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth) P = 2 (L + B) ... Total time taken = Total distance walked × time taken to walk 1m.
