Answer:

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 3x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus the 2 points have a slope of - 3

calculate the slope using the slope formula and equate to - 3

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 5)

m = \frac{5+1}{k-4} = \frac{6}{k-4} = - 3 ( multiply both sides by (k - 4) )

- 3(k - 4) = 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

k - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

k = 2

Can u guys help me please with 5,6,7,8

An explanation for this is that a straight line has a angle degree value of 180. Therefore if you draw the line that creates a 139 degree angle, the rest of the line would have an angle measurement of what is left of the 180 degrees. So to get x you would start with the 180 degree straight line value and subtract the 139 degrees of the line that divides it. so equation is:
180 - 139 = x
And and you get 41 degrees.
(To word this another way the two angles of x and 139 have to add up to the straight line of 180 degrees. Therefore another equation could be:
139 + x = 180
which is basically the same equation but might be easier explanation for some to understand.)


questions 7 and 8 are the same but instead of straight line with 180 degrees, you start with right angle with 90 degrees. Therefore x and the 18 degree angle have to add up to 90 degrees making an equation of:
x + 18 = 90
Or
x = 90 - 18
answer would be
x = 7w

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The function that represents the total cost to build the dog house would be <span>c(p)=12p+65. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

How many ways can you arrange 3 marbles from a group of 5 marbles?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

60 arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation, since I am assuming that order matters.  To solve this you start at the number of items you have and multiply that by 1 less than the max until number of items are used up.

5P3 = 5 * 4 * 3 = 60
