The points (10, 6) and (7, u) fall on a line with a slope of -4/3. what is the value of u?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:
u = 10

Explanation:
The slope of the lone can be calculated as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

We are given:
slope = -4/3
point (10,6) representing (x1,y1)
point (7,u) representing (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above equation and solve for u as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
-4/3 = (u-6) / (7-10)
-4/3 = (u-6) / -3
4/3 = (u-6) / 3
3*4 = 3*(u-6)
4 = u-6
u = 4+6
u = 10

Hope this helps :)

Hi:) I need help with part 9(ii) ? Thanks :)!

Goshia [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2BD = 7BT , then

2(d - b ) = 7(t - b) ← distribute both sides

2d - 2b = 7t - 7b ( add 7b to both sides )

2d + 5b = 7t, thus

2 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}10.5\\10\\\end{array}\right]$ + 5 $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\3\\\end{array}\right]$ = 7t

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\20\\\end{array}\right]$ + $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\15\\\end{array}\right]$ = 7t

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\35\\\end{array}\right]$ = 7t , thus

t = $\frac{1}{7}$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}21\\35\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\5\\\end{array}\right]$

Hence T = (3, 5 )

State a counterexample to the conjecture below if a number is divisible by 6 and 2 then there’s is divisible by 12

siniylev [52]

Any number that is divisible by 6 is already divisible by 2, but is not necessarily divisible by 12.

Counterexamples include: 6, 18, 30, 42, 54, and so on. You can find more by multiplying 6 by any odd number. However, multiplying 6 by an even number provides another "2" that would make it divisible by 12.

70 POINTS! PLEASE HELP! Explain the difference between the following equation formats: Slope-Intercept, Point-Slope and Standard

katrin2010 [14]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

1. slope intercept

2. point-slope form

3. standard

Explanation:

1. A slope intercept form equation is when it's set up as y = m x + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

2. A point-slope form is when a line passes through a point

and the equation is set up as y −b = m ( x−a)

m = slope

(a, b) A point that the line passes through

3. standard lope form is when the equation is set up as

Ax + By = C

8. You are paid a commission plus $5.40 per hour with time and a half overtime

Elanso [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$491.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The pay for the first 8 hours is $5.40 per hour × 8 hours = $43.20. Hours over 8 are paid at 1.5 × $5.40 = $8.10 per hour. There are at least 8 hours every day for the 6-day week. There are hours over 8 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday totaling 7 hours of overtime.

The amount of sales is more than $3000, so 4% will be paid on $3000, and 5% will be paid on the $1115 in excess of $3000.

So, the gross pay is ...

$43.20 × 6 + 8.10 × 7 = $315.90 . . . . wages

$3000 × .04 +1115 × .05 = $175.75 . . . commission

$315.90 +1.75.75 = $491.65 . . . . gross pay for the week
