<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
perimeter = 10 + </span>√10<span> units

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>First, we will need to get the length of each line using the distance formula which is as follows:</u>
distance = </span> $\sqrt{( x_{2}- x_{1} )^2 + ( y_{2} - y_{1})^2 }$ <span>

<u><em>1- length of AB:</em></u>
AB = </span> $\sqrt{(-1--1)^2+(1-6)^2}$ <span> = 5 units

<u><em>2- length of AC</em></u>
length of AC is the same as AB = 5 units

<u><em>3- length of BC:</em></u>
BC = </span> $\sqrt{(2--1)^2+(2-1)^2}$ <span> = </span>√10<span> units

<u>Now, we can get the perimeter by adding the side lengths as follows:</u>
perimeter = 5 + 5 + </span>√10<span>
perimeter = 10 + </span>√10 <span>units

Hope this helps :)</span>

Explain how you can write an equation for a line with slope 1/2 that crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-1).

andre [41]

Answer:

y= 1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y= mx+c

m represents the slope of the line

c represents the y-intercept

So we plug in our information into the equation.

The slope is 1/2 so y= 1/2x + c

The line crosses at (0,-1) which makes -1 the y-intercept as the line crosses at this point on the y-axis.

Therefore, y= 1/2x-1

For the following problems, tell what operation(s) you need to use. Then, write and solve an equation for each problem.

masha68 [24]

<u>Solution-</u>

Bill bought a computer and a printer for a total of $650.

Let p stand for the cost of the printer, so

$\text{Cost of the computer + p} =650$

$\Rightarrow 525+p=650$

$\Rightarrow p=650-525=125$

Bonnie ordered 27 products from one company

Let m stand for the number of missing items

$\text{Number of item she got + m} =27$

$\Rightarrow 19+m=27$

$\Rightarrow m=27-19=8$

Terri bought four lipsticks for a total cost of $20

Let l stand for the cost of one lipstick.

$Price\ of\ one\ lipstick \times I=20$

$\Rightarrow 4 \times I=20$

$\Rightarrow I=5$

Each survey takes him about 10 minutes to complete

Let h stand for the number of hours

$Tota\l time\ taken\ = Time\ taken\ for\ 1\ survey\ in\ hours\times no.\ of\ survey$

$Total\ time\ taken\ =\frac{10}{60} \times 30 = 5 hours$

Andy played golf three times during his vacation. His scores were 92, 87, and 88.

Let A stands for the average.

$Average \ score=A= \frac{Score_1+Score_2+Score_3}{3} =\frac{92+87+88}{3}=89$

Tickets to a local basketball team’s games cost $12 each. Brendon and Ed each bought tickets to four games.

Total tickets = 2×4=8 (∵ They each bought 4 tickets)

(Let t stand for the amount spent on tickets.

$Amount\ spent\ on\ tickets\ =price\ of\ 1\ ticket \times total\ ticket}$

$\Rightarrow t=12 \times 8=96$

Your DVD membership costs $16 per month for 10 DVD rentals. Each additional DVD rental is $2. a. Write an equation in two variab

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a. C(x) = $16, if 0 ≤ x ≤ 10

C(x) = 2x - 4 if x > 10

b. Independent: Number of DVD rentals

Dependent: Monthly cost of rentals

c. $26

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The cost (C) of renting 'x' DVDs is given by:

If 10 ≤ x ≤ 10

C(x) = $16

If x > 10

C(x) = 16 + 2(x-10)

C(x) = 2x - 4

b. Since the cost depends on the number of DVD rentals, cost is the dependent variable and number of DVD rentals is the independent variable.

c. For x = 15:

C(15) = 2*15 - 4

C(15) = $26

It costs $26 to tent 15 DVDs in one month

If he drank 80% of his water on his entire hike. How much did he drink? (Remember he brought 3 liters of water.)

Mama L [17]

Answer:

<h2>2.4 Litres of water</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

80% of (3 litres)

You can take 3 litres to be 3000 ml which is how I solved it.

<h2>OPTION 1</h2><h2>_________</h2>

80/100 x 3000

=2400 or 2.4 litres

The same can go with not taking ml which you can just use litres

<h2>OPTION 2</h2><h2>_________</h2>

80/100 x 3

=2.4 litres

I used the ml since I do not need the calculator for that one and it is faster to calculate.

Keep getting this wrong

Minchanka [31]

Remember that the y-intercept is where the function has a value of $x = 0$ and the x-intercept is where the function has a value of $y = 0$ . Thus, to find the x-intercept and y-intercept, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the other variable.
