In Exercises 26-28, write an equation. Then solve.
1 answer:
Answer:
The temperature outside is 75.6°F
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The temperature of dry ice = - 109.3°F
Let x be the temperature outside in Fahrenheit.
It is given that the temperature of dry ice is 184.9°F less than the outside temperature.
Thus, we can write the equation:
Solving, the above equation, we get:
Thus, the temperature outside is 75.6°F

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
4x - 3y = 15
====================================================
Explanation:
The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line
Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.
The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.
-------------
Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.
Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.
Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.
Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.
Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.
- slope of equation B is 3/4
- slope of equation C is -4/3
- slope of equation D is 4/3
We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.
You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.
