Answer:

4\7

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1\2) \ (4 3\8)

first simply simplify the fractions so that we will get:

(5\2) \ (35\8)

with more simplifying we get:

(5 x 8) \ (2 x 35) = 4\7 = 0.57

A line passes through the points (–3, –4) and (6, 2). What number is the x-intercept?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture.}$

Mark points in the coordinate system.

Lead a line through these points.

Is the given point interior , exterior, or on the circle k (x+2)2 + (y-3)2 =18 P (8,4)

Mnenie [13.5K]

One way would be to find the distance from the point to the center of the circle and compare it to the radius

for
$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
the center is (h,k) and the radius is r

and the distance formula is
distance between $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is
$D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

r=radius
D=distance form (8,4) to center

if r>D, then (8,4) is inside the circle
if r=D, then (8,4) is on the circle
if r<D, then (8,4) is outside the circle

so
$(x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=18$
$(x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=(\sqrt{18})^2$
$(x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=(3\sqrt{2})^2$

the radius is $3\sqrt{2}$
center is (-2,3)

find distance between (8,4) and (-2,3)

$D=\sqrt{(8-(-2))^2+(4-3)^2}$
$D=\sqrt{(8+2)^2+(1)^2}$
$D=\sqrt{10^2+1}$
$D=\sqrt{100+1}$
$D=\sqrt{101}$

$r=3\sqrt{2}$ ≈4.2
$D=\sqrt{101}$ ≈10.04

do r<D

(8,4) is outside the circle

Which equation is true? 0.9 = 9/100 , 1.9 = 9/100 , 12/10 = 1.2 , or 18/9 = 0.2?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

12/10=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

You just move the decimal one place value to the left. so 12÷10=1.2 which is the same as 12/10=1.2
