Let x = total games played

16% = 0.16

0.16x = 40. Divide each number by 0.16.

x = 250

Wendy played 250 games

Find an equation for the line perpendicular to y= -4/3x+5 with​ y-intercept (0,-12). Write the answer in​ slope-intercept form
Arisa [49]

Answer:

y=3/4x−12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the perpendicular line is negative inverse: m=34.

The equation of the perpendicular line is y=3x4+a.

To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: −12=(34)⋅(0)+a.

a=−12.

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=3x4−12.

If this helps you, please give bainliest!

Graph the line and the parabola and find the points of intersection: y= 3-x ; y=x(squared)+x-12
melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph a line y = 3 - x which has the slope = -1 and y intercept 3.

We will select two points where line intersects at x = 0 and y = 0

The given line will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and at y- axis (0, 3).

Joining these two points we can draw a straight line showing y = -x + 3

Now we will draw the parabola given by equation y = x² + x - 12

We will convert this equation in vertex form first to get the vertex and line of symmetry.

Standard equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the line of symmetry.

y = x² + x - 12

y = x² + 2(0.5)x + (0.5)²- (0.5)²-12

y = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

Therefore, vertex will be (-0.5, -12.25) and line of symmetry will be x = 0.5

For x intercept,

0 = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

x + 0.5 = ±√12.25

x = -0.5 ± 3.5

x = -4, 3

For y- intercept,

y = (0+0.5)² - 12.25

 = 0.25 - 12.25

y = -12

So the parabola has vertex (-0.5, - 12.25), line of symmetry x = 0.5, x intercept (4, 0), (and y-intercept (0, -12).

Now we have to find the points of intersection of the given line and parabola.

For this we will replace the values of y

3 - x = x² + x - 12

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0

x = 3, -5

For x = 3

y = 3- 3 = 0

For x = -5

y = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, points of intersection will be (3, 0) and (-5, 8)

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 477 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.50 for children and 2.25 for ad
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

212 children, and 265 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of children and adults, we can set up a systems of equations.

x= number of children

y= number of adults

Equation 1: Price

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

Equation 2: Total number of people

x+y=477

Now, let's solve the equation using substitution.

Rearrange the second equation to solve for one variable.

x+y=477

x=477-y

Now plug x equals into the first equation, and solve for y.

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

1.50(477-y)+2.25y=914.25

715.5-1.50y+2.25y=914.25

715.5+0.75y=914.25

0.75y=198.75

y=265

We just solved for the number of adults. Now let's plug y equals into the second equation to find the number of children.

x+y=477

x+265=477

x=212
