A line that includes the points (-6,-5) and (j,4) has an undefined slope. What is the value of j?

if we have an undefined line, that simply means the fraction form of the slope has a 0 at the bottom, namely  


\bf slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{}{\underset{\underset{here}{\uparrow}}{0}}


therefore then


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{j}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{4-(-5)}{j-(-6)}\implies \cfrac{4+5}{j+6}\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{und efined}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{~~~~}{0}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{therefore thus}}{j+6=0}\implies j=-6

the perimeter of a rectangle swimming pool is 486 feet. The width of the pool is 35 feet less than the length. Find the length a
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Length: 139 feet

Width: 104 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle can be given by P = 2l + 2w. We are given the perimeter of the pool along with the width.

P = 486

w = l - 35

From here, all we have to do is plug back into the original formula:

486 = 2l + 2(l - 35)

Which can be further simplified as:

486 = 2l + 2l - 70

486 = 4l - 70

From here, all we have to do is add 70 to both sides of the equation and divide by four:

556 = 4l

139 = l

To make sure that this answer is accurate, we can find that the width of the rectangle should then be 104 (given by 139 - 35). All we have to do is plug back into the original equation:

P = 2l + 2w

P = 2(139) + 2(104)

P = 278 + 208

P = 486

And the substitution works, so the length of the rectangle would be 139 feet and the width would be 104 feet.

Write:<br> 3^-4 in standard form
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

\frac{1}{81}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills: Exponents + Fractions</u>

Use the negative exponent property. If your number is x^-y then it would be the same as 1/x^y

3^-4 is the same as \frac{1}{3^{4}}

3^4 is 81, so your answer would be 1/81.

Hope you have a nice day and understood this!

How do you solve this system of equation?<br> 2x+4y=-4<br> 3x + 5y =-3
Annette [7]

Answer:

x = 4

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use substitution, elimination, or graphically.

Step 1: Rearrange first equation

2x + 4y = -4

2x = -4 - 4y

x = -2 - 2y

Step 2: Rewrite systems of equations

x = -2 - 2y

3x + 5y = -3

Step 3: Substitution

3(-2 - 2y) + 5y = -3

-6 - 6y + 5y = -3

-6 - y = -3

-y = 3

y = -3

Step 4: Find <em>x</em> using <em>y</em>

2x + 4(-3) = -4

2x - 12 = -4

2x = 8

x = 4

Graphically:

Use a graphing calc and analyze where the 2 lines intersect.

Volume (to the nearest tenth)
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

913

Step-by-step explanation:

cylinder:

radius=5.6 height=7

first lets find the volume of the cylinder the formula for the volume of a cylinder is pi times radius squared times height. so after plugging in the height and radius you get 689.64242

cone:

radius=5.6 height=6.8

now the volume of the cone, the formula for the volume of a cone is pi times radius squared times height/3. so after plugging in the height and radius of the cone you get 223.31278

so 689.64242 + 223.31278= 912.9552 and that rounded to the nearest tenth is 913
