Answer:

The graph of $y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x$ is also attached below, which indicates that there is a change of only one unit on the y-axis for every two units of x-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a change in x values, it is basically a horizontal change. horizontal change between two values is also called the run.

And the vertically change between two values is also called the rise.

The slope is basically the ratio of the vertical (rise) and horizontal (run) changes between two points on a line.

For example, consider the equation

$y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x$

$\mathrm{Slope\:of\:}\frac{1}{2}x:\quad m=\frac{1}{2}$

Here fore every two units of x-values, one units are moved on the y-axis.

In other words, there is a change of only one unit on the y-axis for every two units of x-values.

The graph of $y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x$ is also attached below which is showing this.

A lighthouse is 90 feet above sea level. The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to the center of the rock is 35

Marysya12 [62]

Notice the picture below

so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles

now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"

francos dad is three times his age. in 10 years, francos dad will be twice francos age plus 2. How old are franco and his dad no

konstantin123 [22]

Let

Y be the age of Franco's dad.
X Franco's age

Y = 3*X (1)
(Y +10) = 2*(X+10) +2 (2)

(3*X +10) = 2*X +20 +2

(3-2)X = 22 -10

X = 12 years old (Franco)

Y = 3*12 = 36 years old (Franco's dad)

Mrs. Santos is buying binders for the students in her class. She determined that 15 binders would cost $22.50.

atroni [7]

Answer:

It will cost $42 for 28 binders

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 15 binders = 22.50 dollars . We need to find the cost of 18, 30, 28, and 48 binders to figure out if they match up with the statements. One way to do this is to find the cost for one binder, and then multiply that by the number of binders to find the cost for a certain number of binders. For example, if one binder costs 2 dollars, five binders would cost 2 * 5 = 10 dollars.

To figure out how much one binder costs, we can use the division property of equality to divide both sides of our equation (15 binders = 22.50 dollars) by 15. We divide by 15 because anything divided by itself is equal to 1, and that would make it 1 binder = something dollars.

Applying this, we get

(15 binders)/15 = (22.5 dollars)/15

1 binder = 1.5 dollars

For 18 binders, this would cost 1.5 * 18 = 27 dollars. We know this because we add 1.5 dollars for each binder.

For 30 binders, this would cost 30*15=45 dollars

For 28 binders, this would cost 1.5 * 28 = 42 dollars

For 48 binders, this would cost 1.5*48 = 72 dollars

The only one that matches up is 28 binders for 42 dollars
