Answer:

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1,6) to (4, -2) involves an increase of 3 in x and a decrease of 8 in y.  Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -8/3.

Using the slope-intercept form of the eq'n of a straight line  and inserting the data given (slope = m = -8/3, x = 4,  y = -2), we get:

y = mx + b => -2 = (-8/3)(4) + b, or  -2 = -32/3 + b

Multiply all terms by 3 to clear out the fraction:

-6 = -32 + 3b.

Then 26 = 3b, and b = 26/3.

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Answer:

1. C. 1/4(4) + 1/4(9) (A, 1/4(13), is essentially C simplified (without figuring it out).)

2. G - -4

3. A - -4(-5) + (-4)x

4. J - 1/6x + 1/6y

5. A - 60(10 + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

1/4(4 + 9) <em>We can distribute 1/4 into 4 and 9.</em>

1/4(4) + 1/4(9) <em>Now while we have our answer, this can be further simplified.</em>

1/4(13) <em>What's on the left is the simplified 2-term equation.</em>

<em>So really, either C or A will be the answer. But due to the format of #3, I put C as my answer. B & D were out because there wasn't any extra multiplication.</em>

2.

-2/5(15 - 5) <em>Subtract 5 from 15 to get 10.</em>

-2/5(10) <em>Multiply -2/5 by 10 to get -20/5</em>

-20/5 <em>Divide -20 by 5 to get -4.</em>

-4, so G is the answer. <em>This was negative, so H & J were out to begin with. F was out as soon as I solved the problem.</em>

3.

-4(-5 + x) <em>Distribute -4 into -5 + x.</em>

-4(-5) + (-4)x, so A is the answer. <em>Don't get tricked! B may look right, but there should be a negative sign in front of the 5, hence why it's incorrect.</em>

4.

1/6(x + y) <em>Distribute 1/6 into x + y.</em>

1/6x + 1/6y, so J is the answer. <em>F & G are already out because you don't multiply the variables by each other. H is also out because there wasn't any multiplication involved other than x + y being multiplied by 1/6.</em>

5.

Only 60(10 + 2) would have worked, so A is the answer. The tickets would have cost 720 dollars (600 + 120). <em>B would have equated to 624 (24 + 600), C would have been 132 (6 * 22), and D would have been 600. (10 * 60).</em>

Explain how the net of rectangular prism can help you find the surface area or the prism?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

A 3d cardboard box has 6 sides, each of which are rectangles. If you unfold the 3D box, and flatten it out, then you'll be left with 6 rectangles such as what you see in the attachment below. This is one way to unfold the box. This flattened drawing is the net of the 3D rectangular prism. You can think of it as wrapping paper that covers the exterior of the box. There are no gaps or overlapping portions. If you can find the area of each piece of the net, and add up those pieces, that gets you the total area of the net. This is the exactly the surface area of the box.

In the drawing below, I've marked the sides as: top, bottom, left, right, front, back. This way you can see how the 3D box unfolds and how the sides correspond to one another. Other net configurations are possible.

Match eith the appropiate property:​
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Commutative property of multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

This property says that changing the order of factors doesn't change the product.

Here 5×3 will be 15..... If we interchange the places of 3 & 5 , still then the product will remain same i.e. 3×5 = 15
