Answer:

D. construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ruthie wants to construct a line that passes through point P and is perpendicular to AB

To Find : What should Ruthie do first?

Solution :

Her first step should be :

D. construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

Accurate steps.

1.Place the compasses on the given external point P.construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

2.From each arc on AB draw an arc below the line so that the resultant arcs cross each other.

3.Place a straightedge between P and the point where the arcs intersect. Draw the perpendicular line from P to the line,

Thus the first step should be : D. construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

An account is opened with an initial balance of $950 and a simple annual interest rate of 1.6%. What is the balance after 5 year
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The answer is $1,026.

Solving: Use Simple interest formula, I=Prt.

Make the rate into a decimal (1.6% -> 0.016)

plug in the numbers into the formula. 950 x 0.016 x 5 = 76$.

76$ will be our interest, now to find the balance we would have to add the the starting money (950) with our interest (76$), resulting in our answer of $1,026 after 5 years.

Which equation represents a line parallel to the line shown on the graph?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

-3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to the line shown is formed as follows.

It passes through the points (-6,0) and (-8,6)

The gradient of the line=Δy/Δx

=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

=(6-0)/(-8--6)

=6/-2

=-3

The line parallel to the line shown has the same gradient i.e -3

Therefore the line in question is

-3x+3.
