<h3>Answer: C. 3/10</h3>

A terminating decimal only happens when the fraction has a denominator with factors of 2 and/or 5. No other factors are allowed (other than 1).

Something like 1/12 has the denominator 12 with factors 2*2*3. That '3' means we won't have a terminating decimal. Similarly, the fractions 2/9 and 2/3 won't convert to a terminating decimal either.

3/10 on the other hand does convert to a terminating decimal and 3/10 = 0.3

Question 13 options:<br><br><br> What is the slope of the line of the graph?

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, pick any two points fromthe line.

(2,2) & (0,-4)

x₁ = 2 & y₁ = 2

x₂ = 0 & y₂ = - 4

$\boxed{Slope=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}$

$\sf =\dfrac{-4-2}{0-2}\\\\\\ =\dfrac{-6}{-2}\\\\\\=3$

Slope = 3

At y-intercept x = 0.

From the graph, y-intercept = -4

Equation of the line: y = mx + b

y = 3x - 4

Need step by step detailed answer

kolezko [41]

Answer:

y = -4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have two lines in slope intercept form as

$y = m_1x + c_1 \text{ and}\\y = m_2x + c_2\\$

then the product of the slopes $m_1m_2 = -1$

In other words, $m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}$

We have the first line as

$y = \frac{1}{4}x + 5\\\\$

The slope of this line is $\frac{1}{4}$

The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative of the reciprocal of this line

Reciprocal of 1/4 is 4

So slope of perpendicular line is -4 which implies

y = -4x + c

We have to determine c

Since the line passes through (-3, 8), plug in these values for x and y in the equation and solve for c

8 = (-4)(-3) + c

8 = 12 + c

c = -4

So the equation of the perpendicular line is y = -4x - 4 (Answer)

It is always a good idea to plot these graphs and see if they fit the data provided

The attached plot shows the two graphs and you can see they are perpendicular to each other and the perpendicular line(the answer) passes through point (-3,8)

There is a 85% chance that you will go to an eagles concert given the weather that the weather is good. If there is a 60% chance

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

C: 51%

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 60% that the weather is good and 85% of going to the concert so you multiply the two because of probability. 0.6 x 0.85 = 0.51

a mountaineer climbed 1,000 feet at a rate of x feet per hour, he climbed and additional 5,000 feet at a different rate. this ra

marshall27 [118]

A mountaineer climbed 1000 feet at a rate of x feet/hour

1000 = x ( t 1 ) eq1

5000 = X ( t 2) eq2 ( he climbed additional at different rate )

the rate was 10 feet / hour less than twice the first rate

X = 2x - 10 eq3

take eq1 and eq 2

( total time = t 1 + t 2 = T)

T = 1000/x + 5000/X

but X = 2x-10

T = 1000/x + 5000/( 2x -10)

T = 1000/x + 5000/( 2(x-5))

T = 1000/x + 2500 / (x-5)
