Answer:

B) The slope for triangle P and Q equals 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .

Cindy plans to shop for her school supplies and wants to know how much money she would need to spend. from her friend she knows
vlabodo [156]

Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.

4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5

Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5     (1)

7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5

Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5     (2)

Multiply the first equation by 2.

8x + 6y = 47     (3)

(3) - (2) gives

x = 2.5

Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,

4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5

10 + 3y = 23.5

3y = 23.5 - 10

3y = 13.5

y = 13.5/3

y = 4.5

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:

5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)

           = 12.5 + 13.5

           = 26

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.

Find four fractions between 1/10 and 1/8
Alex17521 [72]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42

Step-by-step explanation:

We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:

  1/8.4 = 5/42

  1/8.8 = 5/44

  1/9.2 = 5/46

  1/9.6 = 5/48

__

<em>Check</em>

  • 1/8 = 0.125
  • 5/42 ≈ 0.119
  • 5/44 ≈ 0.114
  • 5/46 ≈ 0.109
  • 5/48 ≈ 0.104
  • 1/10 = 0.100

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

__

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.

Find the point of intersection (if any) of the following pairs of lines: a) x – 2y +1=0 2x + 3y – 7 = 0 b) x-2y+11=0 -x+2y-13 =
pychu [463]

Answer:

a) (11/7, 9/7)

b) There's no point of intersection

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x - 2y + 1 = 0

2x + 3y - 7 = 0

To find the point of intersection, we need to solve the system of equations  and the result will be the point of intersection (x,y)

x-2y+1=0\\x= 2y-1

Now we substitute x in the second equation:

2x+3y-7=0\\2(2y-1)+3y-7=0\\4y-2+3y-7=0\\7y-9=0\\y=9/7

Now we substitute y in our first equation.

x-2y+1=0\\x-2(9/7)+1=0\\x-18/7+1=0\\x=18/7-1\\x=11/7.

The point of intersection is (11/7, 9/7)

b) x -2y +11 =0

-x + 2y - 13 =0

We are going to follow the same procedure:

x-2y+11=0\\x=2y-11

-(2y-11)+2y-13=0\\-2y+11+2y-13=0\\0y=2\\0=2

Since this system of equations doesn't have a solution, the system has no point of intersection.
