Please Help Quicly The equation 8x - 4y = 5 is dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin. What is the new slope and
Rzqust [24]

For new line, slope m=2 and y-intercept c=(-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Note : Figure given is for reference to understand better.</em>

<em>Where redline is for given line and blueline for new line</em>

<em />

The equation of given line 8x-4y=5 and it is dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin.

Step 1 : Find two points on given line.

When x=0, y=?

8x-4y=5

8(0)-4y=5

y=\frac{-5}{4}

When y=0, x=?

8x-4y=5

8x-4(0)=5

x=\frac{5}{8}

We get points A(0,\frac{-5}{4}), B(\frac{5}{8},0)

Step 2: Find distance from centered and scale it.

Now, It is said that line 8x-4y=5 dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin and point A and point B is on same.

So that point A and point B  will also get dilated by a scale factor of 8 centered at the origin or distance of points from origin will be scaled by 8.

For point A:

Distance of point A(0,\frac{-5}{4}) from origin is ( \frac{-5}{4})  unit in x-direction and zero \frac{-5}{4})  unit in y-direction.

After scaled by factor of 8, the distance will multipy by 8 and new location is A'(0,-10)

For point B:

Distance of point B(\frac{5}{8},0) from origin is (\frac{5}{8}) unit in x-direction and zero unit in y-direction.

After scaled by factor of 8, the distance will multipy by 8 and new location is B'(5,0)

Step 3: Find Equation of new line.

Points A'(0,-10) and B'(5,0) make a new line

The equation of given as

\frac{y-Y1}{x-X1} = \frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}

\frac{y-(-10)}{x-0} = \frac{0-(-10)}{5-0}

\frac{y+(10)}{x} = 2

\frac{y+(10)}{x} = 2

y+10= 2x

y= 2x-10

Now, Comparing with the equation of the line : y=mx + c

Where m=slope and c is the y-intercept

We get, Slope m=2 and y-intercept c=(-10)

A scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid. She has a 50% acid solution and a 90% acid solution she can mix together
dybincka [34]

Allegation is a method to find the ratio in which two or more indignant are mixed to produce a mixture or solution.

The equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed is,

0.5x+0.9y=6

Thus the option 3 is the correct option.

<h3>What is allegation?</h3>

Allegation is a method to find the ratio in which two or more indignant are mixed to produce a mixture or solution.

Given information-

A scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid.

The percentage of two acid solution are 50% and 90%.

Variable<em> x</em><em> </em>represent the number of liters of the 50% solution.

Variable<em> y </em>represent the number of liters of the 90% solution.

Quantity of acid from 50% solution is 0.5x liters, and quantity of acid from 90% solution is 0.9x liters.

As the scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid. Therefore the quantity of acid in 60 percent acid solution is,

a=10\times\dfrac{60}{100} \\a=6

Thus 6 liters of acid required by the scientist. As to get the 6 liters of acid from 50% and 90 percent solution, we need to add the amount of acid in these solutions.Thus,

0.5x+0.9y=6

This is the required equation.

Hence the equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed is,

0.5x+0.9y=6

Thus the option 3 is the correct option.
