Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of minutes of call made.

Let y represent the cost for x minutes of call.

If we plot y on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal axis, a straight line would be formed. The slope of the straight line would be

Slope, m = (10.86 - 5.91)/(10 - 5)

m = 4.95/5 = 0.99

The equation of the straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where

c = intercept

m = slope

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 10, y = 10.86 and m = 0.99 into y = mx + c. It becomes

10.86 = 0.99 × 10 + c = 9.9 + c

c = 10.86 - 9.9

c = 0.96

The linear function becomes

y = 0.99x + 0.96

Therefore, for $12, the number of minutes would be

12 = 0.99x + 0.96

0.99x = 12 - 0.96

0.99x = 11.04

x = 11.04/0.99

x = 11.15 minutes

A twelve-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the ladder reaches ft high on the wall, what is the angle the ladder forms wi
hichkok12 [17]

This question is incomplete.

Complete Question

A twelve-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the ladder reaches eight ft high on the wall, what is the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degree?*

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the diagram that is formed is a right angle triangle.

To solve for this, we would be using the trigonometric function of Sine.

sin θ = Opposite side/ Hypotenuse

From the question, we are told that:

12 foot ladder is leaning against a wall = Hypotenuse

The ladder reaches 8ft high on the wall = Opposite side.

Hence,

sin θ = 8ft/12ft

θ = arc sin (8ft/12ft)

= 41.810314896

Approximately to the nearest degree

θ = 42°

Therefore, the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degree is 42°

Tell weather the two rates form a proportion. help
Sindrei [870]
7/9 = 42/54...when 42/54 reduces, it becomes 7/9...so this is proportional because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.

u could also check it this way...
12/21 = 15/24
cross multiply
(21)(15) = (12)(24)
315 = 288.....these do not equal and are therefore, not proportionate

440/4 = 300/3
110 = 100....not equal, so not proportionate

120/5 = 88/4
24 = 22.....not proportionate

66/82 = 99/123
0.804 = 0.804.......these are proportional

68/172 = 43/123
0.395 = 0.349......nope, not proportional

What is the value of the expression (-8/9) divided by (-2/3) x (-4 1/2) ?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B) x=-\frac{8}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

-\frac{8}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}x(-4\frac{1}{2})

  • To start things off, lets convert any <em>mixed numbers</em> like -4\frac{1}{2} into <em>improper fractions</em>. In this case -4\frac{1}{2} as an improper fraction is -\frac{9}{2}.

-\frac{8}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{9}{2})

  • Now let's multiply -\frac{2}{3}x by -\frac{9}{2}. When multiplying fractions, all you need to do is multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Your final answer should be \frac{18}{6}x.
  • *Note: a <em>negative </em>times a <em>negative </em>is a <em>positive</em>, so that's why we now have an even number in front of x instead of a negative number.

-\frac{8}{9}=\frac{18}{6}x

  • Now we want to isolate x, so we'll have to divide -\frac{8}{9} by \frac{18}{6}, but dividing these two fractions seems like a pain. To make things a bit easier, let's turn our improper fraction into a whole number. To change this improper fraction into a whole number, we should ask ourselves what times 6 is equal to 18? In this case, the answer is 3, so \frac{18}{6} is actually the same thing as the whole number 3.
  • *Note: In general, keeping fractions as either improper fractions or whole numbers will make doing math easier. Avoid mixed numbers like -4\frac{1}{2} when trying to do math and simply change improper fractions into mixed numbers once you have your final solution.

-\frac{8}{9}=3x

  • Now divide -\frac{8}{9} by 3. Think of it as multiplying the denominator of -\frac{8}{9} by 3.

-\frac{8}{27}=x
