A contractor bought 8.2 ftsquared of sheet metal. She has used 3.5 ftsquared so far and has ​$141 worth of sheet metal remaining

. The equation 8.2xminus3.5xequals141 represents how much sheet metal is remaining and the cost of the remaining amount. How much does sheet metal cost per square​ foot?

Answer:

The cost of a sheet metal per square foot is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Sheet Metal = 8.2ft squared

Used Sheet Metal = 3.5ft squared

Worth of leftover sheet = $141

Equation: 8.2x - 3.5x = 141

Required

Find the cost per square foot of the sheet metal

Solving for x in the above equation will give the cost per square foot of the sheet metal.

8.2x - 3.5x = 141

4.7x = 141

Divide both sides by 4.7

\frac{4.7x}{4.7} = \frac{141}{4.7}

x = \frac{141}{4.7}

x = 30

Hence, the cost of a sheet metal per square foot is $30

an equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 10x – 6y + 18 = 0. . . . A.Show all your work in determining the center and radius of this
MariettaO [177]

A circle is a set of points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point. It has a general formula of x² + y² = r². This is if the center is at the origin. However, if the center at point h and k, the equation becomes (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r².<span>

We write the given equation in the form (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² by completing the square.
</span>

<span>x</span>²<span> + y</span>²<span> + 10x – 6y + 18 = 0</span>

<span> (x² + 10x + 25 )+ (y² - 6y + 9) = −18 + 25 + 9 = 16
(x + 5)² + (y + 3)² = (4)²

Therefore,

center = (-5, -5)
radius = 4</span>

The graph of which line intersects the graph of y + 10 = -5(x - 1) in only one point?
vlada-n [284]
A

First, I’m going to the line is question into slope intercept form.
y + 10 = -5x + 5
y = -5x + 5 -10
y = -5x -5
y + 10 = -5 (x - 1) becomes y = -5x -5 in slope intercept form. I will call this line ‘line 1’

A becomes y = 5x -15 in slope intercept form
B becomes y = -5x + 25 in slope intercept form
C becomes y = -5x -5 in slope intercept form
D becomes y = -5x + 10 in slope intercept form

C is the same line as line 1. Any point that is on line 1 is also on line C, so C cannot be it.

Notice that line B and D have the same slope but different y-intercepts as line 1. That means these lines are parallel (not the same line though - different y intercepts) to line 1, so they will never intercept.

Line A has a different slope vs line 1, so they will eventually intersect only once
