Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To identify the slope of this line, we first need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept or y = mx + b form, the y

is by itself on the left side of the equation.

So our first task in this problem is to get y by itself

on the left side of the equation and we do that by

first adding 2x to both sides to get 3y = 2x + 6.

Notice that I put the x term first on the right side of the equation and then the number because in y = mx + b form, the x term comes first on the right side of the equation.

Continuing on, to get y by itself we would

divide both sides by 3 to get y = 2/3x + 2.

Now in y = mx + b form, the slope is coefficient of the x term.

So we can see that the slope of this line is 2/3.

A triangular lot has sides of 215m, 185m, and 125m. Find the measures of the angles at its corners

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The measures of the angles at its corners are $59.1\°,35.4\°,85.5\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the measure of angle A

Applying the law of cosines

$185^{2}= 215^{2}+125^{2}-2(215)(125)cos(A)$

$2(215)(125)cos(A)= 215^{2}+125^{2}-185^{2}$

$cos(A)= [215^{2}+125^{2}-185^{2}]/(2(215)(125))$ $cos(A)=0.513953$

$A=arccos(0.513953)=59.1\°$

step 2

Find the measure of angle B

Applying the law of cosines

$125^{2}= 215^{2}+185^{2}-2(215)(185)cos(B)$

$2(215)(185)cos(B)= 215^{2}+185^{2}-125^{2}$

$cos(B)= [215^{2}+185^{2}-125^{2}]/(2(215)(185))$ $cos(B)=0.81489$

$B=arccos(0.81489)=35.4\°$

step 3

Find the measure of angle C

Applying the law of cosines

$215^{2}= 125^{2}+185^{2}-2(125)(185)cos(C)$

$2(125)(185)cos(C)= 125^{2}+185^{2}-215^{2}$

$cos(C)= [125^{2}+185^{2}-215^{2}]/(2(125)(185))$ $cos(C)=0.0784$

$C=arccos(0.0784)=85.5\°$

Please help!! Question is in the picture!!

Debora [2.8K]

$\frac{17}{60}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ are the experimental probabilities from the table.

Solution:

Total number of times spun the spinner = 60

Number of times getting 1 = 12

Number of times getting 2 = 17

Number of times getting 3 = 15

Number of times getting 4 = 16

Experimental probabilities from the table:

Probability of getting 1 = $\frac{12}{60}=\frac{1}{5}$

Probability of getting 2 = $\frac{17}{60}$

Probability of getting 3 = $\frac{15}{60}=\frac{1}{4}$

Probability of getting 4 = $\frac{16}{60}=\frac{4}{15}$

To determine which are the experimental probabilities from the table:

Option A: 15

This is not obtained above. So, it is not the experimental probability.

Option B: $\frac{17}{60}$

This is obtained in the probability of getting 2.

So, it is the experimental probability.

Option C: $\frac{1}{4}$

This is obtained in the probability of getting 3.

So, it is the experimental probability.

Option D: $\frac{7}{15}$

This is not obtained above. So, it is not the experimental probability.

Option E: $\frac{12}{43}$

This is not obtained above. So, it is not the experimental probability.

Hence $\frac{17}{60}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ are the experimental probabilities from the table.

Suppose f(x) = x². Find the graph of f(x+3). ???

alexdok [17]

Answer: x^2+3

Step-by-step explanation:

If regular f(x) is equal to x^2, then if you just add 3 to the original, you add 3 to the same x^2. The three becomes a shift upwards on the graph. You put your vertex point up 3 on the vertical line then make your parabola
