Answer:

-9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope (m) is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (10-(-9))/(-3-(-1)) = 19/-2

m = -9.5

The slope of that line is -9.5.

The graph shows the line through those points, written in point-slope form.

Answer:

Q7. 11.3 inches (3 s.f.)

Q8. 96.2 ft

Q9. 36.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Q7. Please see attached picture for full solution.

Q8. Let the length of a side of the square be x ft.

Applying Pythagoras' Theorem,

$34^{2} = {x}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ 2 {x}^{2} = 1156 \\ {x}^{2} = 1156 \div 2 \\ {x}^{2} = 578 \\ x = \sqrt{578} \\$

Thus, the perimeter of the square is

$= 4( \sqrt{578} ) \\ = 96.2 ft\: \: \: (3 \: s.f.)$

Q9. Equilateral triangles have 3 equal sides and each interior angle is 60°.

Since the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 126cm,

length of each side= 126÷3 = 42 cm

The green line drawn in picture 3 is the altitude of the triangle.

Let the altitude of the triangle be x cm.

sin 60°= $\frac{x}{42}$

$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{x}{42} \\ x = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} \times 42 \\ x = 21 \sqrt{3} \\ x = 36.4$

(to 3 s.f.)

Therefore, the length of the altitude of the triangle is 36.4cm.

Answer:

340

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see in the sample that 18/50 people bring lunches to school. If we divide 18 by 50 we get 0.36 now we know that 36% of people bring their lunches in the sample. Now we take that number and multiply it by 942.

0.36*942= 339.12 which we can round to 340

The top and bottom margins of a poster are each 12 cm and the side margins are each 8 cm. The area of printed material on the po

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Dimensions of printed poster are

length is 32 cm

width is 48 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

length of printed poster is x cm

width of printed poster is y cm

now, we can find area of printed poster

so, area of printed poster is

$=xy$

we are given that area as 1536

so, we can set it to 1536

$xy=1536$

now, we can solve for y

$y=\frac{1536}{x}$

now, we are given

The top and bottom margins of a poster are each 12 cm and the side margins are each 8 cm

so, total area of poster is

$A=(8+x+8)\times (12+y+12)$

$A=(x+16)\times (y+24)$

now, we can plug back y

$A=(x+16)\times (\frac{1536}{x}+24)$

now, we have to minimize A

so, we will find derivative

$A'=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(x+16\right)\left(\frac{1536}{x}+24\right)\right)$

we can use product rule

$A'=\frac{d}{dx}\left(x+16\right)\left(\frac{1536}{x}+24\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1536}{x}+24\right)\left(x+16\right)$

$=\frac{d}{dx}\left(x+16\right)\left(\frac{1536}{x}+24\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1536}{x}+24\right)\left(x+16\right)$

now, we can simplify it

$A'=-\frac{24576}{x^2}+24$

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$A'=-\frac{24576}{x^2}+24=0$

$-\frac{24576}{x^2}x^2+24x^2=0\cdot \:x^2$

$-24576+24x^2=0$

$x=32,\:x=-32$

Since, x is dimension

and dimension can never be negative

so, we will only consider positive value

$x=32$

now, we can solve for y

$y=\frac{1536}{32}$

$y=48$

so, dimensions of printed poster are

length is 32 cm

width is 48 cm
