James has a model helicopter. The model is 8 inches long and 7 inches wide. The actual helicopter is 56 inches long. What is the

helicopters actual width, if we assume the models proportions are accurate?

56/8=7. so we multiply 7 by 7.7*7=49; the helicopter is 49 in. wide

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

Eva and her grandchildren went into a bakery and where they sell cookies for $0.50 each and brownies for $2.25 each. Reba has &a

kicyunya [14]

Answer: 5 cookies and 6 brownies.

Step-by-step explanation: If she decides to buy 5 cookies it will cost her $2.50. This means she can still spend $12.50. If we need to find how many brownies she can buy, the expression 12.50/2.25 can explain. In this case, she can buy 5 brownies and will have $1.25 left over

Please help me I need to submit this asap

frez [133]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Here { a, b ] = [ - 1, 2 ], thus

f(b) = 4 ← from (2, 4 )

f(a) = $\frac{1}{2}$ ← from (- 1, $\frac{1}{2}$ ) , thus

average rate of change = $\frac{4-\frac{1}{2} }{2-(-1)}$ = $\frac{\frac{7}{2} }{3}$ = $\frac{7}{6}$ → D
