Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most important things to understand about lines is the definition of slope. Slope is the 'steepness' of the line, also commonly known as rise over run. We can calculate slope by dividing the change in the y-value between two points over the change in the x-value.

The slope is also called the gradient of the line. It's a number that represents the direction and steepness of a line on a graph.

Hope this helps. :)

X is equal 25 degrees. Line ac goes though the parallel lines. So bcd is x. Cdb is 180-50 equals 130. All angles add to 180. 180-130 equals 2X. So x equals 25.

The losing candidate in a mayoral election received 10,200 votes, which represented 30% of all votes cast in the election.

ElenaW [278]

well, in the election, the losing candidate received 10200 votes, and we know that's 30% of the whole votes cast, le's say the whole amount is "x" or namely 100%.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 10200&30\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{10200}{x}=\cfrac{30}{100}\implies \cfrac{10200}{x}=\cfrac{3}{10} \\\\\\ 102000=3x\implies \cfrac{102000}{3}=x\implies 34000=x$

Dorian's 3060 is really 30% of 10200, however, the losing candidate received 30% of the total votes cast, and that is 10200, so Dorian mistakenly is using 30% of the 30% received by the losing candidate as point of reference for her total.

S is inversely proportional to t . When s = 0.6 , t = 5 Work out s when t = 0.3

madreJ [45]

Answer:

s = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given s is inversely proportional to t , then the equation relating them is

s = $\frac{k}{t}$ ← k is the constant of proportion
