Answer: OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

- Convert from 48 inches to foot. You know that 12 inches=1 foot. Then you have:

$(48inches)(\frac{1foot}{12inches})=4feet$

- Therefore, keeping on mind that 48 inches is 4 feet, and you must find the ratio that correctly compares 2 feet to 48 inches, you can write:

$ratio=\frac{2feet}{4feet}$

- Reduce the fraction, then:

$ratio=\frac{1}{2}$

- You can rewrite it as following:

$ratio=1:2$

Line AB passes through points A(–6, 6) and B(12, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,

inn [45]

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}$

Therefore we have $y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b$ .

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

$3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b$

$3=-2+b$ add 2 to both sides

$5=b\to b=5$

Answer:

$m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5$

First the store raised the price of a pot by 20%. Then they announced a 20% discount on the pot. Is the customer going to pay mo

andrezito [222]

Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.

A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.

Original price: x

20% increase in price: 1.2 * x

20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x

Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.

0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x

0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.

In the triangle ABC , Angle A = 46° and Angle B = 83°. How large is the exterior angle at C?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

180 - 46 - 83 = 51 is the measure of angle C

the exterior angle at angle C, and angle C, are supplementary. since angle C is 51 because of the interior angle triangle sum theorem, then the exterior angle is: 180 -51 = 129 degrees.
