Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of the point is 1/4 of the way from A (-6, -3) to B (6, 1), we are going to be using the midpoint formula, which states that:

The midpoint is at (\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2}). Where:

(x_{1}, x_{2}) = (-6, 6)

(y_{1}, y_{2}) = (-3, 1)

Then, the midpoint is at:

(\frac{-6 +6 }{2}, \frac{-3+1}{2}) = (0, -1)

Now, to find the coordinates of the point that is 1/4 of the way, we are going to calculate the midpoint between the point 'A' and the midpoint previously caculated, as follows:

(x_{1}, x_{2}) = (-6, 0)

(y_{1}, y_{2}) = (-3, -1)

⇒ (\frac{-6 +0}{2}, \frac{-3-1}{2}) = (-3, -2)

Therefore, the point is 1/4 of the way from A to B is:  (-3, -2)

Find the slope and the equation of the line through the points (-4,9) and(8,12)
lianna [129]
The formula for a slope is \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}. Inserting those values into the equation, we get (12 - 9) / (8 - (-4)) = 3/12 = 1/4

Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.91. All merchandise is discounted by %12. What is the total cost of th
quester [9]

Answer:

Luis' skateboard will cost $76.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 79.91 by 100, this is what one percent is worth, .7991.

Multiply this by 12, giving you 12 percent, 9.59 (rounded to the nearest 10th).

Now subtract 9.59 from 79.91, 70.32. That is the price BEFORE tax.

Than divide 70.32 by 100, .7032.

Multiply this by 8.25, 5.80, this is tax.

Now add the price before tax, 70.32, to the tax, 5.80.

This creates 76.12. This means that the total price of the skateboard is $76.32.

Parallel / Perpendicular Practice
deff fn [24]

The slope and intercept form is the form of the straight line equation that includes the value of the slope of the line

  1. Neither
  2. ║
  3. Neither
  4. ⊥
  5. ║
  6. Neither
  7. Neither
  8. Neither

Reason:

The slope and intercept form is the form y = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope

Two equations are parallel if their slopes are equal

Two equations are perpendicular if the relationship between their slopes, m₁, and m₂ are; m_1 = -\dfrac{1}{m_2}

1. The given equations are in the slope and intercept form

\ y = 3 \cdot x + 1

The slope, m₁ = 3

y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + 1

The slope, m₂ = \dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore, the equations are <u>neither</u> parallel or perpendicular

  • Neither

2. y = 5·x - 3

10·x - 2·y = 7

The second equation can be rewritten in the slope and intercept form as follows;

y = 5 \cdot x -\dfrac{7}{2}

Therefore, the two equations are <u>parallel</u>

  • ║

3. The given equations are;

-2·x - 4·y = -8

-2·x + 4·y = -8

The given equations in slope and intercept form are;

y = 2 -\dfrac{1}{2}  \cdot x

Slope, m₁ = -\dfrac{1}{2}

y = \dfrac{1}{2}  \cdot x - 2

Slope, m₂ = \dfrac{1}{2}

The slopes

Therefore, m₁ ≠ m₂

m_1 \neq -\dfrac{1}{m_2}

The lines are <u>Neither</u> parallel nor perpendicular

  • <u>Neither</u>

4. The given equations are;

2·y - x = 2

y = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot   x +1

m₁ = \dfrac{1}{2}

y = -2·x + 4

m₂ = -2

Therefore;

m_1 \neq -\dfrac{1}{m_2}

Therefore, the lines are <u>perpendicular</u>

  • ⊥

5. The given equations are;

4·y = 3·x + 12

-3·x + 4·y = 2

Which gives;

First equation, y = \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot x + 3

Second equation, y = \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot x + \dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, m₁ = m₂, the lines are <u>parallel</u>

  • ║

6. The given equations are;

8·x - 4·y = 16

Which gives; y = 2·x - 4

5·y - 10 = 3, therefore, y = \dfrac{13}{5}

Therefore, the two equations are <u>neither</u> parallel nor perpendicular

  • <u>Neither</u>

7. The equations are;

2·x + 6·y = -3

Which gives y = -\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x - \dfrac{1}{2}

12·y = 4·x + 20

Which gives

y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + \dfrac{5}{3}

m₁ ≠ m₂

m_1 \neq -\dfrac{1}{m_2}

  • <u>Neither</u>

8. 2·x - 5·y = -3

Which gives; y = \dfrac{2}{5} \cdot x +\dfrac{3}{5}

5·x + 27 = 6

x = -\dfrac{21}{5}

  • Therefore, the slopes are not equal, or perpendicular, the correct option is <u>Neither</u>

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.<br> 56<br> +<br> 32<br> =
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

8 * (7 + 4)

See process below

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing each number in PRIME factor form:

56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

Notice that the factors that are common to BOTH numbers are 2 * 2 * 2 (the product of three factors of 2).Therefore we see that the greatest common factor for the given numbers is : 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

Using this, we can write the two numbers as the product of this common factor (8) times the factors that are left on each:

56 = 8 * 7

32 = 8 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 4

We can then use distributive property to "extract" that common factor (8) from the given addition as shown below:

56 + 32

8 * 7 + 8 * 4

8 * (7 + 4)

8 * (11)
