The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 16, z has the value 0.9375.

1 answer:

6 0

Since z is inversely proportional to x, when x increases by a factor of 26/16, z will be multiplied by the inverse of that factor: 16/26

$z=\dfrac{16}{26}\cdot 0.9375=0.5\overline{769230}=\dfrac{15}{26}$

Which pair of lines is parallel? A. y=4x+1 and y+4=5 B. y=-2+x and 2y-2x=-2 C. y=1/4x + 2 and y-2=1/2x D. y=1/5x+1 and 5y+x= 10

sdas [7]

Answer:

B. y=-2+x and 2y-2x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

The equation 0of a line is tipically written as y=mx + b, where 'm' represents the slope and 'b' the y-intercept.

Let's evaluate each of the options:

A. y=4x+1 and y+4x=5

Writing the equations in the slope-intercept form, we get:

y=4x+1 → m=4

y=5-4x → m=-4

Given that they have different slopes, they are not parallel.

B. y=-2+x and 2y-2x=-2

Writing the equations in the slope-intercept form, we get:

y=-2+x → m=1

y=-1 + x → m=1

Given that the equations have the same slope, they are parallel.

C. y=1/4x + 2 and y-2=1/2x

Writing the equations in the slope-intercept form, we get:

y=1/4x + 2 → m=1/4

y=1/2x+2 → m=1/2

Given that they have different slopes, they are not parallel.

D. y=1/5x+1 and 5y+x= 10

Writing the equations in the slope-intercept form, we get:

y=1/5x+1 → m=1/5

5y+x= 10 → y=2 - 1/5x → m=-1/5

Given that they have different slopes, they are not parallel.

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle?

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle are (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect

we have the coordinates

$A(-2,5),B(-2,-1),C(8,-1)$

step 1

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M=(\frac{-2-2}{2},\frac{5-1}{2})$

$M_A_B=(-2,2)$

step 2

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the segment AB that passes through the point (-2,2)

Is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

$y=2$ -----> equation A

step 3

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M=(\frac{-2+8}{2},\frac{-1-1}{2})$

$M_B_C=(3,-1)$

step 4

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the segment BC that passes through the point (3,-1)

Is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

$x=3$ -----> equation B

step 5

Find the circumcenter

The circumcenter is the intersection point between the equation A and equation B

$y=2$ -----> equation A

$x=3$ -----> equation B

The intersection point is (3,2)

therefore

The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle are (3,2)

How do you use the distance formula and slope formula to find the lengths of a quadrilateral?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The distance formula to find the length of the sides... opposite sides equal it could be a rectangle or parallelogram all sides equal, square or rhombus adjacent equal, kite and then the slope is used to check angles if the product of the 2 lines in -1 the lines are perpendicular (right angle) the slopes of 2 lines are the same the sides are parallel. Hope it helps.

Jim decided to go for a drive in his car. He started out at 0 miles per hour(mph). He then accelerated 20 mph down his street. T

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

37 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

if he starts at 0 then goes to 20 then add another 35 which gives you 55mph then he slows down you decrease 11 which is 44 then decrease again 7 gives you 37mph
