Answer:
6 packages
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.
8 * 0.75 = 6
This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.

Answer:
8.80
Step-by-step explanation:
When rounding up and you are stuck with nine
You can't say 8.710
Your simply add one to the number before it
8.80 that your answer
B. (6, -8)
First, you need to figure out the slope of the line
(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
After substituting points D(-3, 4) A(3, -4)
[4 - (-4)] / (-3 - 3)
(8) / (-6)
The slope of the line is -8/6 or -4/3 simplified
Then you can put it in point slope form:
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
(y - y1) = -4/3(x - x1)
The point that I am using for point slope form is A(3, -4)
[y - (-4)] = -4/3(x - 3)
y + 4 = -4/3(x - 3)
Next you have to simplify the equation so that y is isolated
y + 4 = -4/3(x - 3)
First distribute the -4/3
y + 4 = -4/3(x) + (-4/3)(-3)
y + 4 = -4/3x + 4
Subtract 4 on both sides
y + 4 - 4 = -4/3x + 4 - 4
y = -4/3x
Now that you have y = -4/3x, you can substitute the values until one of them makes the equation equal
For example) (6, -8)
-8 = -4/3(6)
-8 = -8
So since (6, -8) fits in the slope intercept equation, it must me collinear with points A and D
~~hope this helps~~
So, notice, the focus point is at -7, 5, and the directrix is at y = -11.
keep in mind that the vertex is half-way between those two fellows, and the distance from the vertex to either one of them is "p" units, check the picture below.
with that focus point and that directrix, the half-way over the axis of symmetry will be -7, -3, that's where the vertex is at, and notice the distance "p", is 8 units.
since the parabola is opening upwards, "p" is positive 8.
