Now despite what you may believe, <u>1:3 is not 1/3 in this situation.</u> In this case, it means "1 equal part to 3 equal parts", which is a total of 4 equal parts. <u>In short, this question is to place point P 1/4 the distance from A to B.</u>

Firstly, how far apart is -1 from 7 (the x-coordinates)? That would be 8 units. Multiply 1/4 by 8:

\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{1}=\frac{8}{4}=2

Next, how far apart is 2 from 8 (the y-coordinates)? That would be 6 units. Multiply 1/4 by 6:

\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{1}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}

Next, since from -1 to 7 you are <em>increasing</em>, add 2 to -1:

-1+2=1

1 is your x-coordinate

Next, since from 2 to 8 you are <em>increasing</em>, add 3/2 to 2:

\frac{2}{1}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{2}\\\\\frac{4}{2}+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{7}{2}

7/2 is your y-coordinate.

<u>Putting it together, your answer is A. (1, 7/2)</u>

Solve for a: 3a – 5(a – 2) = 34<br><br> a = -12<br><br> a = 0<br><br> a = -22<br><br> a = 1
Evgen [1.6K]

3a - 5(a - 2) = 34

Distribute -5 inside the parentheses

3a - 5a + 10 = 34

Combine like terms

-2a + 10 = 34

Subtract 10 from both sides

-2a = 24

Divide both sides by -2

a = -12

1. which data set represents an increasing, linear function? (1 point)
GenaCL600 [577]
#1) A
#2) B
#3) C
#5) A
#7) D
#10) D
#11) D
#14) A
#15) D
#16) A
#19) D

Explanation
#1)  If the data set is linear, the slope will be constant throughout the entire data set.  For data set A, the slope between the first two points is:
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (1--2)/(3-1) = 3/2
Between the second two points,
m=(4-1)/(5-3) = 3/2
Between the third pairs of points,
m=(7-4)/(7-5) = 3/2

The slope is constant throughout the entire set.  The set is also increasing; as x increases, y increases as well.

#2)  Substituting 4 for y and 1 for x, 
y = (x+1)²
4 = (1+1)² = 2²
9 = (1+2)² = 3²
16 = (1+3)² = 4²
This works for each point, so this is the solution.

#3) Since he runs 10 laps per hour t, this is 10t.  Adding the first lap to this, we get y=10t+1.

#5) If a sequence is arithmetic, each term is found by adding a constant (called the common difference) to the previous term.  If the common difference is 2, this means that 2 was added each time.  This only works for choice A.

#7) For x to vary directly as y, this means that y/x = k; in other words, the quotient of y and x is constant for every point.

#10) The formula for slope is:
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using the information we're given, we have
3=(d-5)/(4-2)
3=(d-5)/2

Multiply both sides by 2:
3*2 = ((d-5)/2)*2
6 = d-5

Add 5 to both sides:
6+5 = d-5+5
11 = d

#11) Using point slope form,
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)
y-1 = 3(x--2)
y-1 = 3(x+2)

Using the distributive property,
y-1 = 3*x + 3*2
y-1 = 3x + 6

Add 1 to both sides:
y-1+1 = 3x+6+1
y=3x+7

#14) If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.  The slope of the given equation is 4; the only one with a slope of 4 is A.

#15) If two lines are perpendicular, they have slopes that are negative reciprocals (opposite signs and flipped).  The slope of the given equation is 2; this means the slope of the perpendicular line would be -1/2.  The only one with this slope is D.

#16)  The two equations are not the same, so there are not infinitely many solutions.  The variables do not both cancel, so there is at least one solution.  This only leaves one solution as the answer.

#19)  Using 1 for 7 and 4 for x, we check each equation.  The only one that comes out correct is D.

What is the length of WE?
Helga [31]

Answer:  20

Explanation:

Midsegment WE is parallel to segment RS. Recall that midsegments are half as long as the side they are parallel to. So we cut the side RS = 40 in half to get WE = (RS)/2 = 40/2 = 20.
