What is the slope the line that passes through the points: (-6, 14), (2, -18)

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Here's how to find the slope given any two points.

Subtract the y values.

14-(-18+-14+18=32

Subtract the x values.

-6-2=-8

And divide those.

32/-8=-4

The slope is -4.

Have a wonderful day! :D

A graph has a constant of proportionality of 7.2. Let y represent minutes and x represent miles.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

7.2 minutes per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the description means y = 7.2x, the rate 7.2 means each increase in x of 1 mile results in an increase in y of 7.2 minutes. That is the rate is 7.2 minutes per mile.

Pam has 90 m of fencing to enclose an area in a petting zoo with two dividers to separate three types of young animals. The thre

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The area function is

$A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2$ .

The domain and range of A is $(0,15m)$ and $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is $90 m$ .

Let the length and width of each pen be $x$ and $y$ respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

$A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)$

From the figure the total length of fencing is $6x+4y$ .

Here, for a significant area for the animals, $x>0$ as well as $y>0$ as $x$ and $y$ are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

$6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}$

Now, from equation (i)

$A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)$

This is the required area function in the terms of variable $x$ .

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

$x=15-\frac{2y}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x$ [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is $(0,15m)$ .

For the range of area function:

As $x \rightarrow 0$ or $y\rightarrow 0$ , then $A\rightarrow 0$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow A>0$

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to $x$ .

$\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x$

Equate $\frac {dA}{dx}$ to zero to get the extremum point.

$\frac {dA}{dx}=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}$

Check this point by double differentiation

$\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9$

As, $\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}$ , so, point $x=\frac{15}{2}$ is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

$A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2$

$\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2$

Hence, the range of area function is $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

Does it matter which dimensions you select for the lenght and the width when you find the area of a rectangle? Explain

Levart [38]

It does not. So Long as the length is multipled by the height aka Long edge multiplied with the short edge, you will obtain the area of the rectangle.
