Step-by-step explanation:

Given line is passing through the points (3, 60) & (6, 50)

Therefore, slope of line:

$m = \frac{50 - 60}{6 - 3} = - \frac{10}{3} \\ y - intercept \: (b) = 70 \\ equation \: of \: line \: in \: slope \: intercept \\ form \: is \: given \: as : \\ y = mx + b \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: y = - \frac{10}{3} x + 70}} \\ which \: is \: the \: required \: equation.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept form is y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

You can use any ordered pairs but I suggest ones that touch down on an intersect like (0,70) and (3,60)

slope= $\frac{y^{2} -y^{1} }{x^{2} -x^{1} }$

slope using (0,70) and (3,60)= $-\frac{10}{3}$

The y-intercept is 60 since its the number that touches the y-axis

So the equation for the trend line is

$y=-\frac{10}{3} x+70$

The height of a triangular window is 3 feet less than its base. The area the window is 20 ft.? find the dimensions of the window

Ivenika [448]

Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = $\frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2$

$40=b\left(b-3\right)$

$40=b^2-3b$

$b^2-3b-40=0$

Factoring quadratic, we get

$\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)$ =0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>

The circumference of a roll of party streamers is 9 inches. The circumference decreases by 2 inches after you use the streamers

leonid [27]

For that case the new circumference is:
C = 9 - 2
C = 7 inches
By definition, the circumference is:
C = 2 * pi * r
Where,
r: radio
Substituting values:
7 = 2 * pi * r
Clearing the radio:
r = 7 / (2 * pi)
Then, the diameter is:
d = 2 * r
Substituting:
d = 2 * (7 / (2 * pi))
d = 2.228169203
Round to the hundredth:
d = 2.23 inches
Answer:
The diameter of the roll after the decrease is:
d = 2.23 inches

A rectangle has an area 18sq cm.id its length and width are wjole numbera.what is its greatest possible perimeter

makkiz [27]

Answer:

38cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The perimeter of a square can be found with the formula $2 \times (width + length)$

2. Since its length and width are whole numbers, it must be either

1 x 18,

2 x 9 or

3 x 6

3. Using the formula in step 1, we can found that the perimeter in these cases are

respectively

4. Compare those perimeter we found in previous step, it's obvious that the greatest is 38. Solved.

Nancy's mother has a large collection of footwear.

DiKsa [7]

I think A, C, D are right because of the 12 pairs of heels, 6 are black (6/12) That means half of them could be chosen and be black (0.5). Another way to write 0.5 is as a percentage, 50%.
