For line l to intersect line m at point (2, 1/2), line m must have the point (2,1/2) on its graph. It is implied that line l already has the point (2, 1/2). If line m does not have it, then there will be no intersection at that specific point.

Try checking every choice to see if it has point (2,1/2) on the graph.
Note that (x,y) = (2,1/2); check by using x=2 and y=1/2.

For A,

   2x = y/2
   2(2) = (1/2) / 2
   4 <span>≠ 1/4
</span>
Cannot be choice A as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)

For B:

   2y = 3 - x
   2(1/2) =  3 - 2
   1 = 1

This is a true equation so the point (2,1/2) is on the graph of 2y=3-x. This means that if this is the equation for line m, then line m will have a point at (2,1/2) and therefore intersect with line l. Therefore, B is the answer.

The rest of the choices are false as shown:

For C:
 
   2x + 4y = 8
   2(2) + 4(1/2) = 8
   4 + 2 = 8
   6 ≠ 8

Cannot be choice C as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)

For D:

   y = 4 - (5/4)x
   1/2 = 4 - (5/4)(2)
   1/2 = 4 - 5/2
   1/2 = 8/2 - 5/2
   1/2≠ 3/2

Cannot be choice D as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)

What is the value of 4p-2, when p=8?
Anton [14]
The value of 4p x 2, when p = 8 would be 30. You can work this out because if you multiply 8 by 4, you get 32, and if you then subtract 2 you will get 30. i hope this helps

Estimate a 15% tip on a dinner bill of $83.53 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

the tip amount is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the tip amount is shown below:

But before that rounded the dinner bill to the nearest ten dollars i.e. $80

Now the tip amount is

= Dinner bill × tip percentage

= $80 × 15%

= $12

Hence, the tip amount is $12

Answer: 4 2/3

number letter: A

The length of the piece of ribbon = 3 1/2 yards= 7/2 yards

The length of ribbon required to make  a bow =  3/4 yards

Now, the number of bows can be made in the given piece of ribbon = 7/2 divided by 3/4

 = 7/2*4/3= 14/3 = 4 2/3

Hence,  the number of bows can be made in the given piece of ribbon =  4 2/3

\bf sin(-t)=\cfrac{5}{7}\implies -sin(t)=\cfrac{5}{7}\implies sin(t)=-\cfrac{5}{7}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;csc(t)\implies \cfrac{1}{sin(t)}\implies \cfrac{1}{-\frac{5}{7}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{1}}{-\frac{5}{7}}\implies \cfrac{1}{1}\cdot -\cfrac{7}{5}\implies -\cfrac{7}{5}
