Answer=7:13

Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight

So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...

Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6

So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6

The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13


So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:

7:13

Answer:

\frac{7}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> Melvin's weight

y------> Kenny's weight

we know that

y=\frac{6}{7}x

x+y=x+\frac{6}{7}x=\frac{13}{7}x -----> total weight of the two boys

Find the ratio of Melvin's weight to the total weight of the two boys

ratio=\frac{x}{(\frac{13}{7}x)} =\frac{7}{13}

Explain why (4, 1) is not a solution to the equation y=3x+1
nexus9112 [7]

In (4, 1) 4 represents x, and 1 represents y

y = 3x + 1

1 = 3(4)+1

1 = 12 + 1

1 ≠ 13   ← sides are not equal so (4, 1) is not a solution to y=3x+1

what is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6,1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=2x-6?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the standard form on an equation:  y = mx + b

A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line.  We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..

1 = -(1/2)(6) + b           We must solve for b (  -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)

1 = -3 + b

4 = b  

so our equation is

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Are O, N, and P collinear? If so, name the line on which they lie.
san4es73 [151]

We are given a figure where M, N , O and P points are given.

We need to explain if points O, N, and P collinear or not.

Note: All co-linear points are in a straight line.

From the figure, we can see that <em>O and N points are in a straight line but point P is aside.</em>

So, the points O, N, and P are not collinear.

Therefore, correct option is "<u>No, the three points are not collinear</u>".
