The line x = -11.4 is perpendicular to the x-axis and contains point

(-11.4 , 12.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the equations of the vertical lines and horizontal lines

  • The vertical line is a line parallel to y-axis
  • The x-coordinates of all points lie on the line are equal
  • The equation of the vertical line basses through point (a , b) is x = a
  • The horizontal line is a line parallel to x-axis
  • The y-coordinates of all points lie on the line are equal
  • The equation of the horizontal line passes through point (a , b) is y = b
  • The vertical line and the horizontal line are perpendicular to each other when intersect each other

∵ The line is perpendicular to the x-axis

∴ The line is a vertical line

∴ The equation of the line is x = a, where a is the x-coordinate

   of any point lies on the line

∵ The line contains point (-11.4 , 12.8)

∵ The x-coordinate of the point is -11.4

∴ a = -11.4

∴ The equation of the line is x = -11.4

The line x = -11.4 is perpendicular to the x-axis and contains point

(-11.4 , 12.8)

PROBLEM #1

Answer:

  • 500 - 25w ≥ 200

Explanation:

Translate every verbal statement into an algebraic statement,

<u>1. Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer.</u>

  • Initial amount: 500

<u>2.  He wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of summer. </u>

<u />

  • Final amount ≥ 200

<u>3. He withdraws $25 a week for his cell phone bill.</u>

<u />

  • Call w the number of weeks
  • Withdrawls = 25w

<u>4. Write an inequality that represents Keith's situation.</u>

  • Create your model: Final amount = Initial amount - withdrawals ≥ 500

  • 500 - 25w ≥ 200

With that inequality you can calculate how many week will pass before his account has less than the amount he wants to have in the account by the end of summer:

  • 500 - 200 ≥ 25w
  • 300 ≥ 25w
  • 300/25 ≥ w
  • 12 ≥ w
  • w ≤ 12

That represents that he can afford spending $ 25 a week during 12 weeks to have at least $ 200 in the account.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 6) and (8, 7)
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The slope of this line is <u>1/5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the answer easily by graphing the problem. In doing so, you will find the slope (rise over run) to be one over five. This is because you rise one unit, and run five.

Please help with the question in the picture!
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Tan C = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given-

∠ A = 90°, sin C = 3 / 5

<u>METHOD - I</u>

<u><em>Sin² C + Cos² C = 1</em></u>

Cos² C = 1 - Sin² C

Cos² C = 1 - \frac{9}{25}

Cos² C = \frac{25 - 9}{25}

Cos² C = \frac{16}{25}

Cos C = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25} }

Cos C = \frac{4}{5}

As we know that

Tan C = \frac{Sin C}{Cos C }

<em>Tan C = \frac{\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{4}{5} }</em>

<em>Tan C = \frac{3}{4}</em>

<u>METHOD - II</u>

Given Sin C = \frac{3}{5} = \frac{Height}{Hypotenuse}

therefore,  

AB ( Height ) = 3; BC ( Hypotenuse) = 5

<em>∵ ΔABC is Right triangle.</em>

<em>∴ By Pythagorean Theorem-</em>

<em>AB² + AC² = BC²</em>

<em>AC² </em><em>= </em><em>BC² </em><em>- </em><em> AB</em><em>² </em>

<em>AC² = 5² - 3²</em>

<em>AC² = 25 - 9</em>

<em>AC² = 16</em>

<em>AC  ( Base) = 4</em>

<em>Since, </em>

<em>Tan C = \frac{Height}{Base}</em>

<em>Tan C = \frac{AB}{AC}</em>

<em>Hence Tan C = \frac{3}{4}</em>
