Answer:
Graph A
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of a proportional relationship is a straight line through the origin. Only graph A goes through the origin.
Answer:
y=-
x+
Step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(2-(-4))/(-2-1)
=6/-3
=-2
in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b
use the point (1, -4) to find b
-4=(2)(1)+b
-4=2+b
b=-6
the first equation of the line is y=2x-6
to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y
0=2x-6
2x=6
x=3
the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2
for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b
y=mx+b
0=(-1/2)(3)+b
b=3/2
thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-
x+3/2
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>g </em>be Gabrielle's age and <em>m </em>be Mikhail's age.
We can turn the statements the problem gives us into mathematical expressions to help us solve.
Gabrielle's age is two times Mikhail's age:
<em>g </em>= 2<em>m</em>
The sum of their ages is 81:
<em>g </em>+ <em>m </em>= 81
This gives us a system of equations that will allow us to solve for Gabrielle's age.
<em>g </em>+ <em>m </em>= 81
(2<em>m</em>)<em> </em>+ <em>m </em>= 81
3<em>m </em>= 81
<em>m</em> = 
<em>m </em>= 27
If we need to solve for Gabrielle's age, we can do the following.
<em>g </em>= 2<em>m</em>
2(27)<em> </em>= <em>g</em>
54 = <em>g</em>
g = 54
Mikhail's age is 27.
Gabrielle's age is 54.
D : c = 33 : 22
where d is the number of dogs and c is the number of cats;
and: d + c = 3030
33 c = 22 d / : 11
3 c = 2 d
From the other equation: c = 3030 - d
3 * ( 3030 - d ) = 2 d
9090 - 3 d = 2 d
5 d = 9090
d = 9090 : 5
d = 1818
Answer: There are 1818 dogs in the shelter.
