The best option is the first one (Six yards of rope costs $5.50). It is the lowest unit cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given question case, first we should compare the unit costs of the choices provided and evaluate the best option.

Choice 1:

Six yards of rope costs $ 5.50

$\frac{5.50 \text { dollar}}{6 \text { yard }}=0.9167\ dollar/yard$

Choice 2:

Four yards costs $ 4.75

$\frac{4.75 \text { dollar}}{4 \text { yard }}=1.1875\ dollar/yard$

Thus, the best choice is the first one. Because it is the lowest unit cost.

Triangle ABC has vertices A(0,6) B(4,6) C(1,3). Sketch a graph of ABC and use it to find the orthocenter of ABC. Then list the s

Allisa [31]

For line B to AC: y - 6 = (1/3)(x - 4); y - 6 = (x/3) - (4/3); 3y - 18 = x - 4, so 3y - x = 14

For line A to BC: y - 6 = (-1)(x - 0); y - 6 = -x, so y + x = 6

Since these lines intersect at one point (the orthocenter), we can use simultaneous equations to solve for x and/or y:

(3y - x = 14) + (y + x = 6) => 4y = 20, y = +5; Substitute this into y + x = 6: 5 + x = 6, x = +1

So the orthocenter is at coordinates (1,5), and the slopes of all three orthocenter lines are above.

Solve for x if EF = 2x + 7 and FG = 7x –9 help please I'll give brainliest

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

x = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, intercepts made by parallel lines on the transversals are in proportion.

$\therefore \frac{AB}{BC} =\frac{EF}{FG}... (1)$

AB = BC.... (given)

$\implies \frac{AB}{BC} = 1..... (2)$

From equations (1) & (2)

$1 =\frac{EF}{FG}$

${FG}={EF}$

Therefore,

7x - 9 = 2x + 7

7x - 2x = 9 + 7

5x = 16

x = 16/5

x = 3.2
