Answer:

a.y=13/16x+37/8

b.y=3/2x+6

c.y=3/4x+9/2

d.x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

All lines must pass through (-2,3)

a. The slope must be 13/16;

y=13/16x+b, SInce it must pass through (-2,3), plug in -2 as the x-value and 3 as the y-value

3=13/16(-2)+b, solve for b.

24/8=-13/8+b

37/8=b

y=13/16x+37/8

b, It must be parallel to the line 3x-2y=2; first, find the slope by converting to y=mx+b

3x-2y=2

-2y=-3x+2

y=3/2x-1, Parallel lines have the same slope so a line parallel to 3x-2y=2 and passing through (-2,3) will have a slope of 3/2.

Plug in (-2,3) to find the b-value again.

(3)=3/2(-2)+b

3=-3+b

6=b

y=3/2x+6

c. It must have a line perpendicular to 4x+3y=6.  Again like in b, find the slope.

y=-4/3+2, the slope is -4/3.

Now, perpendicular lines have the opposite inverse slopes which means that you add a negative sign and flip the numerator and denominator

-(-3/4), this is just 3/4

Ok, the slope of the line is 3/4, plug in (-2,3) to find the b-value again.

(3)=3/4(-2)+b

6/2=-3/2+b

9/2=b

y=3/4x+9/2

d. The line is paralell to the y-axis.

This just means that the line is vertical. The line has no slope.

The vertical line that passes through the x-value -2 is x=-2

x=-2

Your neighbor has decided to enlarge his garden. The garden is rectangular with width 6 feet and length 15 feet. The new garden
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Original garden: 42 feet

Enlarged garden: 98 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = length (2) + width (2)

<u>Original perimeter:</u>

P = 15(2) + 6(2)

P = 30 + 12

P = 42 feet

In this problem, similar is proportional, so the new garden will be proportional to the old one.

If the original length was 15 and the new length is 35, then 15 would have had to have been multiplied by 2 1/3. That means you need to multiply 6 by 2 1/3, which is 14. That means the dimensions of the enlarged yard is 14 (width) × 35 (length).

<u>Enlarged perimeter</u>

P = 35(2) + 14(2)

P = 70 + 28

P = 98 feet

Write the exponential function that passes through the points (3, 10) and (5, 40)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

  y = (5/4)2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The function value increases by a factor of 40/10 = 4 when x increases by 2. The function can be written as ...

  y = (reference value)·(growth factor)^((x -reference)/(change in x for growth factor))

  y = 10·4^((x-3)/2) . . . . . . using point (3, 10) as a reference

This can be simplified to ...

  y = 10·2^(x -3) = 10/8·2^x

  y = (5/4)2^x
