The coordinates of A, B, and C in the diagram are A (p, 4), B (6, 1 ), and C (9, q). Which equation correctly relates p and q? ↔

↔ ↔ ↔ Hint: Since AB is perpendicular to BC, the slope of AB × the slope o BC = -1. A. -q − p = 7 B. q − p = 7 C. p − q = 7 D. p + q = 7

Answer:

  D.  p + q = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of AB is ...

  mAB = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (1 -4)/(6 -p) = -3/(6 -p)

The slope of BC is ...

  mBC = (q -1)/(9 -6) = (q -1)/3

We want the product of these slopes to be -1:

  mAB·mBC = -1 = (-3/(6 -p))·((q -1)/3)

  -(q-1)/(6 -p) = -1 . . . . cancel factors of 3

  q -1 = 6 -p . . . . . multiply by -(6 -p)

  q + p = 7 . . . . . matches choice D

Answer:

The second tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both filling up at the same rate, all you would have to do is multiply the gallons.

4/5 multiplying top and bottom by 8 is 32/40

7/8 multiplying top and bottom by 5 is 35/40

¿Cuál es la ecuación de la recta con pendiente -2 y el punto (4, 10)?
Sophie [7]

The general slope-intercept form equation is:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{Wher m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value} \end{gathered}

In this case, m=-2 and with the point (4, 10) we can find the value of b:

\begin{gathered} We\text{ evalute the equation in the point (x, y) = (4 , 10):} \\ 10=-2\cdot4+b \\ 10=-8+b \\ b=10+8=18 \end{gathered}

We found that b = 18, so:

y=-2x+18
