Answer:

slope : 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = change in y / change in x

change in y = 1 / change in x = 15

therefore, 1/15 = slope

Answer:

Multiply the coordinates of point P by the scale factor 7/4 to get the coordinates of P'.

Given : P(-5,3)

P' (x,y) = P (-5 x 7/4 , 3 x 7/4)

= P(-8.75, 5.25)

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$300\; \rm lb$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ represent the mass (in pounds) of that $15\%$ copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain $25.5\%$ copper by mass.

Consider: if $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy is mixed with $700$ pounds that $30\%$ copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

Mass of copper in $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy: $(0.15\, x)\; \rm lb$ .
Mass of copper in $700$ pounds of that $30\%$ copper alloy: $700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb$ .
