Answer:

15 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

A class constituting of boys and girls:

Has a total of 35 students.

The number of girls outnumber that of boys by 5.

Let the number of boys be x such that the number of girls is x + 5.

∴

x + x + 5 = 35

2x + 5 = 35

2x = 35 - 5 = 30

x = 30/2 = 15

So there are 15 boys and 35 - 15 = 20 girls.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 12, negative 2) and (0, negative 4). A point is at (0, 6).

mariarad [96]

Point (-12 , 8) is on the line that passes through (0, 6) and is parallel to the given line ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have:

Same slopes
Different y-intercepts

The formula of the slope of a line which passes through points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∵ The given line passes through points (-12 , -2) and (0 , -4)

∴ $x_{1}$ = -12 , $x_{2}$ = 0

∴ $y_{1}$ = -2 , $y_{2}$ = -4

- Use the formula of the slope above to find the slope of the given line

∵ $m=\frac{-4-(-2)}{0-(-12)}=\frac{-4+2}{12}=\frac{-2}{12}=\frac{-1}{6}$

∴ The slope of the given line is $\frac{-1}{6}$

∵ The two lines are parallel

∴ Their slopes are equal

∴ The slope of the parallel line = $\frac{-1}{6}$

∵ The parallel line passes through point (0 , 6)

- The form of the linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope

and b is the y-intercept (y when x = 0)

∵ m = $\frac{-1}{6}$ and b = 6

∴ The equation of the parallel line is y = $\frac{-1}{6}$ x + 6

Let us check which point is on the line by substitute the x in the equation by the x-coordinate of each point to find y, if y is equal the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the line

Point (-12 , 8)

∵ x = -12 and y = 8

∵ y = $\frac{-1}{6}$ (-12) + 6

∴ y = 2 + 6 = 8

- The value of y is equal the y-coordinate of the point

∴ Point (-12 , 8) is on the line

Point (-12 , 8) is on the line that passes through (0, 6) and is parallel to the given line

A volleyball reaches its maximum of 13 feet, 3 seconds after it is served. What quadratic formula could model the height of the

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$H=-(t-3)^2+13$

Step-by-step explanation:

The path covered by the volleyball will be a downward parabola with the vertex being the highest point of the ball.

A general form of a downward parabola is given as:

$y=-a(x-h)^2+k$

Where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola and 'a' is a constant.

Now, let 'h' be the vertical height and 't' be the time taken.

So, the equation would be of the form:

$H=-a(t-h)^2+k$

Now, as per question:

h = 2 seconds, k = 13 feet.

$H=-a(t-3)^2+13$

Now, taking a = 1. So, the formula that can be used is:

$H=-(t-3)^2+13$
