Answer:

  C.  18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sides of the triangle shown is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5. We know it is a right triangle, so we know the missing side length completes the ratio

  3 : 4 : 5 = 9 : 12 : 15

Half of XY is 9 cm, so the length of the entire chord is 18 cm.

_____

The chord is tangent to the inner circle, so makes a 90° angle with the radius to that tangent point. This tells you that the triangle shown is a right triangle. It also tells you that the short radius bisects the chord. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the side not shown (half the chord length).

The unknown side (a) can be found from  ...

  15² = 12² +a²

  225 -144 = a² . . . . . . subtract 12²

  81 = a² . . . . . . . . . . .  simplify

  9 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The chord length is 2a, so is ...

  2(9 cm) = 18 cm . . . . length of chord XY

Answer:

-7, then -13, then -19

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x values to get y.

y = -2(0) - 7

y = 0 - 7

y = -7

y = -2(3) - 7

y = -6 - 7

y = -13

y = -2(6) - 7

y = -12 - 7

y = -19

Hope this helps. :0)

I need help with math homework #2 algebra
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A. (0, -2) and (4, 1)

B. Slope (m) = ¾

C. y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

D. y = ¾x - 2

E. -¾x + y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Two points on the line from the graph are: (0, -2) and (4, 1)

B. The slope can be calculated using two points, (0, -2) and (4, 1):

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 -(-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{3}{4}

Slope (m) = ¾

C. Equation in point-slope form is represented as y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = any point on the graph.

m = slope.

Substitute (a, b) = (4, 1), and m = ¾ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

D. Equation in slope-intercept form, can be written as y = mx + b.

Thus, using the equation in (C), rewrite to get the equation in slope-intercept form.

y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

4(y - 1) = 3(x - 4)

4y - 4 = 3x - 12

4y = 3x - 12 + 4

4y = 3x - 8

y = ¾x - 8/4

y = ¾x - 2

E. Convert the equation in (D) to standard form:

y = ¾x - 2

-¾x + y = -2

Answer:

All you have to do is multiply 5 and 3 by specific gaps in between new numbers then subtract 30. Keep doing that until you get evenly matched numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 15, it would take 15 seconds for Alan to reach Sasha.
