Amy is helping plan her school's new basketball court. The west edge of the basketball court is located on the line y = 2x + 5.

The east edge cannot intersect with the west edge. On which line could the east edge be located?
2x − y = 96
−2x − y = 96
−y − 2x = 48
y + 2x = 48

Answer:

Line of east wedge is: 2x - y = 96

So, Option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The east edge cannot intersect with the west edge means that two lines are parallel.

If the two lines are parallel then they have same slope. We need to find the slopes of given lines and check which line has slope same as slope of west edge.

Slope of west edge.

y = 2x + 5

The standard equation for slope intercept form is:

y = mx+b

where m is the slope. So, m= 2

Now finding line for east edge.

Option 1.

Convert each given equation to standard slope intercept form and find the slope.

2x -y =96

-y = -2x +96

Multiply with -1

y = 2x -96

m = 2

Option 2.

-2x -y = 96

-y = 2x +96

y = -2x-96

m = -2

Option 3

-y-2x =48

-y = 2x +48

y = -2x -48

m = -2

Option 4.

y+2x = 48

y = -2x+48

m = -2

So, only line of Option 1 has slope = 2 which is equal to the slope of west edge.

Line of east wedge is: 2x - y = 96

So, Option 1 is correct.

What value of s makes the equation true?
azamat

Answer:

-17 =s

Step-by-step explanation:

-8s +4 = -7s +21

Add 8s to each side

-8s+8s +4 = -7s+8s +21

4 = s+21

Subtract 21 from each side

4-21 = s+21-21

-17 =s

Construct a sample (with at least two different values in the set) of 4 measurements whose mean, median, and mode are equal. If
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The first set 4 , 6 , 6 , 8

The second set 2 , 6 , 6 , 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average of the values in a set. This can be found by summing all the numbers and dividing by the total number. The median is the middle number when the values are listed in order of increasing size. The mode is the number(s) that appear the most often in the set.

The first set 4 , 6 , 6 , 8

mean = (4 + 6 + 6 + 8 )/4 = 6

median = (6+6)/2 = 6

Mode = 6

The second set 2 , 6 , 6 , 10

mean = (2 + 6 + 6 + 10)/4 = 6

median = (6+6)/2 = 6

Mode = 6

2) x = 12

3) x = 45

4) x= 5.56

5) x = 35/18

6) x = 3/2

7) x = 19/3

8) x = 3/35

9) x = 47/5

10) x+4 = 17/2 so x = 9/2
