Answer: The slope is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you need to find the difference between the y coordinates and divide it by the difference in the x coordinates.

The y coordinates are -4 and 5

The x coordinates are -4 and 2

-4 -5 = - 9

-4 - 2 = -6

-9/-6 = 3/2

Answer:

$4.50 or $4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

well, this is easy

30% equals to 0.30 right.

we can't divide because if we do then the answer would be 50$ and that's way more money than Jill has.

so your wondering. What do we do?

Well, what's 30% of 15?

It's 4.5

4 dollars and 5 cents that U will have with Jill.

Answer:

(-2, 4, -2)

x=-2, y=4, z=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the three equations:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\-2x+4z=-4\\x+2y=6$

And we want to find the value of each variable.

To solve this system, first look at it and consider what you should try to do.

So we can see that the second and third equations both have an x.

Therefore, we can isolate the variables for the second and third equation and then substitute them into the first equation to make the first equation all xs.

Therefore, let's first isolate the variable in the second and third equation.

Second Equation:

$-2x+4z=-4$

First, divide everything by -2 to simplify things:

$x-2z=2$

Subtract x from both sides. The xs on the left cancel:

$(x-2z)-x=2-x\\-2z=2-x$

Now, divide everything by -2 to isolate the z:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}$

So we've isolated the z variable. Now, do the same to the y variable in the third equation:

$x+2y=6$

Subtract x from both sides:

$2y=6-x$

Divide both sides by 2:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}$

Now that we've isolated the y and z variables, plug them back into the first equation. Therefore:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})-2(-\frac{2-x}{2})=-8$

Distribute the third term. The -2s cancel out:

$4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x)=-8$

Since there is still a fraction, multiply everything by 2 to remove it:

$2(4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x))=2(-8)$

Distribute:

$8x-(6-x)+2(2-x)=-16\\8x-6+x+4-2x=-16$

Combine like terms:

$8x+x-2x-6+4=-16\\7x-2=-16$

Add 2 to both sides:

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7:

$(7x)/7=(-14)/7\\x=-2$

Therefore, x is -2.

Now, plug this back into the second and third simplified equations to get the other values.

Second equation:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}\\ z=-\frac{2-(-2)}{2}\\z=-\frac{4}{2}\\z=-2$

Third equation:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}\\y=\frac{6-(-2)}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4$

Therefore, the solution is (-2, 4, -2)

Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 40°, and the kite string forms a stra

emmasim [6.3K]

The distance between the ground and the kite to the nearest foot is 64 ft.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle?</h3>

A right angle triangle is a triangle that has one of its sides as 90 degrees. The situation forms a right angle triangle.

Hence,

The length of the kite string is the hypotenuse side of the triangle formed.

The height between the ground and the kite is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratio,

sin 40 = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 40 = h / 100

cross multiply

h = 100 sin 40

h = 100 × 0.64278760968

h = 64.2787609687

h = 64 ft

Therefore, the distance between the ground and the kite to the nearest foot is 64 ft.

Javine says, "To multiply by 1000, I just add three zeros." Kian says, "I times by 10, then times by 10 and times by 10 again."

aksik [14]

Answer:

Kian's method is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Javine says, "To multiply by 1000, I just add three zeros." He is incorrect.

Kian says, "I times by 10, then times by 10 and times by 10 again. When he multiply 1 by 10, it becomes 10. Then if he again multiply by 10, it becomes 10×10 = 100. And at last when he multiply again 10, it becomes 100×10 = 1000. It means Kian's methods for multiplying by 1000 is correct.
