Answer:

Points that lie on the same line are called collinear points. If there is no line on which all of the points lie, then they are noncollinear points.

The length of an object's shadow varies directly with It's heigt. If a can is 13 cm tall casts a shadow that is 7.5 cm long, a b

svetoff [14.1K]

X = Can/Bottle height, y = Shadow length
x = 13 cm, y = 7.5 cm
x = 2.5 cm, y = 14.2 cm
I'm assuming your question is asking for an equation to model this. Since there are only two data points the only equation that can be made is linear
y = mx + c
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) <- Let 14.2 be y2, and 2.5 be x2 (it is important)
m = (14.2 - 7.5)/(2.5 - 13)
m = 6.7/-10.5
m = -0.638
y = -0.638x + c
To find c we can sub any one of the two coordinates, i'm choosing (2.5,14.2)
14.2 = -0.638(2.5) + c
14.2 = -1.595 + c
14.2 + 1.595 = c
15.795 = c
So the final equation is y = -0.638x + 15.795

Rain fell on four days in June. These amounts were recorded: 5 mm, 9 mm, 2 cm, and 2.6 cm. What was the total rainfall for June?

ivolga24 [154]

Hello there

The correct answer in mm would be 60 mm

1 cm = 10 mm

So it would 5+9+20+26 = 60

In cm it would be 6 cm

10 mm = 1 cm

.5+.9+2+2.6 = 6

I hope this helped ^^

I need help on this.

If the triangles are similar, the proportion of the legs on the left to the legs on the right will be equal. This proportion would look like:

$\frac{2x+1}{3x}=\frac{10}{14}$

(You needed to combine the orange segment and the yellow segment to find the total length of the large triangle).

Now, cross multiply and solve for x:

28x+14=30x

<em>*Subtract 28x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>

14=2x

<em>*Divide both sides by 2*</em>

7=x

Hope this helps!!

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

RUDIKE [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$1571

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that y is profit in dollars, the maximum value of y is revealed by a graph to be ...

ymax = $1571

The maximum profit the company can make is $1571 at a selling price of $45 each.

_____

The function can be written in vertex form as ...

y = -(x^2 -90x) -454

y = -(x^2 -90x +45^2) -454 +45^2

y = -(x -45)^2 +1571

Because the leading coefficient is negative, we know this vertex represents a maximum. (x, y) = (45, 1571) at the vertex. Maximum profit is $1571.
