Answer:

Option C, 380 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an airplane is 850 miles per hour.

We have to calculate the speed in meters per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

850 miles = 1609.34 × 850 = 136,793,9 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Therefore Speed per second = $\frac{136,793,9}{3600}$

= 379.98 ≈ 380 m/s

Option C, 380 meter per second

Find the slope between the two points given. Then, use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in Slop

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equation: y=2x-1

Slope: 2

y-intercept: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (-1, -3) and (-2, -5). We need to find the slope, equation of the line, and the y intercept of the line

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where ( $x_1$ , $y_1$ ) and ( $x_2$ , $y_2$ ) are points

We have everything we need for the formula, but let's label the values of the points to avoid any confusion

x1=-1

y1=-3

x2=-2

y2=-5

Now substitute into the formula (remember: the formula has SUBTRACTION):

m= $\frac{-5--3}{-2--1}$

simplify

m= $\frac{-5+3}{-2+1}$

add

m= $\frac{-2}{-1}$

divide

m=2

So the slope is <u>2</u>

Now let's find the equation of the line

The question asks for it to be in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We calculated the slope from earlier, so let's substitute that into the equation

y=2x+b

Now we need to find b

The equation will pass through both (-1, -3) and (-2, -5) so we can use either one of them to solve for b (doesn't matter which one)

Let's take (-1, -3) as an example

substitute -1 as x and -3 as y into the equation

-3=2(-1)+b

multiply

-3=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides

<u>-1=b (the value of the y intercept!) </u>

Substitute -1 as b into the equation

<u>y=2x-1</u>

We found everything needed for this problem

Hope this helps!

Find the equation of the line that passes through (0, -3) and is parallel to

Tresset [83]

Hey there!

$\\$

Answer:

$\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}$

$\\$

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line, we first have to determine its slope knowing that parallel lines have the same slope.

Let the line that we are trying to determine its equation be $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ and the line that is parallel to $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ be $\: \sf{d_2} \:$ .

$\sf{d_2} \:$ passes through the points (9 , 2) and (3 , -5) which means that we can find its slope using the slope formula:

$\sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{y_2} - \orange{y_1}}{\red{x_2} - \blue{x_1 }}}$

$\\$

⇒Subtitute the values :

$\sf{(\overbrace{\blue{9}}^{\blue{x_1}}\: , \: \overbrace{\orange{2}}^{\orange{y_1}}) \: \: and \: \: (\overbrace{\red{3}}^{\red{x_2}} \: , \: \overbrace{\green{-5}}^{\green{y_2}} )}$

$\implies \sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{-5} - \orange{2}}{\red{ \: \: 3} - \blue{9 }} = \dfrac{ - 7}{ - 6} = \boxed{ \bold{\dfrac{7}{6} }}}$

$\sf{\bold{The \: slope \: of \: both \: lines \: is \: \dfrac{7}{6}}}$ .

Assuming that we want to get the equation in Slope-Intercept Form, let's substitute m = 7/6:

Slope-Intercept Form:

$\sf{y = mx + b} \\ \sf{Where \: m \: is \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line \: and \: b \: is \: the \: y-intercept.}$

$\implies \sf{y = \bold{\dfrac{7}{6}}x + b}$ $\\$

We know that the coordinates of the point (0 , -3) verify the equation since it is on the line $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ . Now, replace y with -3 and x with 0:

$\implies \sf{\overbrace{-3}^{y} = \dfrac{7}{8} \times \overbrace{0}^{x} + b} \\ \\ \implies \sf{-3 = 0 + b} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \implies \sf{\boxed{\bold{b = -3}} } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

Therefore, the equation of the line $\: \bold{d_1} \:$ is $\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}$

Find the perimeter of the colored part of the figure. The figure is composed of small squares with side-length 1 unit and curves

harina [27]

Answer:

16.56 in

Step-by-step explanation:

4 sides of the squares are exposed

The radius of each semicircle is 1 since they are against 2 squares.

2pi*r=circumfrence

2pi*1=6.28

6.28/2=3.14 because it's a semicircle

3.14*4=12.56 because there are 4 equal semicircles

12.56+4=16.56

A cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart. Which equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the p

ozzi

Answer: b. C = 5 × ($0.75 × 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Therefore, if a cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart, the equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the product will be:

= 5 × ($0.75 × 4)

= 5 × $3

= $15
