Well first you have to divide 3 by 4, which is 0.75 or 3/4

5,280*3=15,840. 15,840/4=3,960. Each person runs 3,960 feet.

Answer:

$|WX|=|XY|=\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}\:Units \:or\: 4.2 \:Units\\|WZ|=|YZ|=\sqrt{34} \:Units \:or\: 5.8 \:Units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem: The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.

Let O be the point of intersection of the diagonals,

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, in right triangle WOX

$|WX|^2=|WO|^2+|OX|^2\\|WX|^2=3^2+3^2=18\\|WX|=\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}\:Units \:or\: 4.2 \:Units$

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, in right triangle WOZ

$|WZ|^2=|WO|^2+|OZ|^2\\|WX|^2=3^2+5^2=34\\|WZ|=\sqrt{34} \:Units \:or\: 5.8 \:Units$

You are choosing between two different cell phone plans. The first plan charges a rate of 24 cents per minute. The second plan c

Virty [35]

Answer: 286 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

x : # of months that has gone by

0.24x : cost of the 24 cent plan after "x" minutes

39.95 + 0.10x : cost of the 10 cent plan after "x" minutes

1. 39.95 + 0.10x > 0.24x

2. 39.95 > 0.24x - 0.10x

3. 39.95 > 0.14x

4. 285.36 > x

x must be AT LEAST 286 minutes for plan #2 (39.95 + 0.10x) to be a better deal

How do i find the slope

Elodia [21]

Hi, I'm happy to help!

To find the slope, you need to use the slope formula, where m is the slope:

m= $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1 } }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Slope means rise over run, or how much the line rises per the amount the line moves forward. This equation shows the movement from the y points to show rise, over the difference in the x points to show run.

Now, to find the slope we insert our values, starting with our second y point:

m= $\frac{2-y_{1 } }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now insert our first y point:

m= $\frac{2-4 }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now we insert our second x point:

m= $\frac{2-4 }{-3 -x_{1} }$

And finally our first x point:

m= $\frac{2-4 }{-3 -3 }$

Now, we solve:

m= $\frac{-2 }{-6}$

So, our slope is -2/-6, to simplify it, we remove both negatives because they cancel each other out.

m= $\frac{2 }{6}$

Now, we simplify our fraction by dividing the top and bottom by 2:

m= $\frac{1}{3}$

So, our slope is 1/3. This means that for every 1 unit the line rises, it goes to the right 3 units. The y-intercept is where the line hits the y axis.

If the question is asking for slope intercept form for the equation, you use y=mx+b

y represents any y coordinate on your line, m represents your slope (1/3), x represents any x coordinate on your line, and b represents your y-intercept (3).

If you were to insert these values, you would get:

y= $\frac{1}{3}$ x+3

You use this to find what a y coordinate would be so you can draw your line.

For the next equation we do the same thing:

m= $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1 } }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Insert our values:

m= $\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}$

Get rid of the double negative:

m= $\frac{4-1}{2+4}$

Solve:

m= $\frac{3}{6}$

Simplify:

m= $\frac{1}{2}$

Now that we know our slope, let's plug it in to our slope intercept form equation.

y= $\frac{1}{2}$ x+3

I hope this was helpful! Keep learning! :D

Is one side of a rectangular fish tank best represented by a point, line, plane, or ray?

Inessa05 [86]

One side of a rectangular fish tank can be best represented by a plane because it is two dimensional.Whereas,point,line or a ray are all one dimensional and hence they cannot represent a rectangle as it has two dimensions.
