Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

4 a + 5 b

a=3 and b= -1.2

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug the values of a and b into the equation.

4(3) + 5(-1.2)

12 + (-6)

Adding negatives basically means subtracting, so...

12-6 = 6

Therefore your answer is 6

Hope this helps!

The length of an equilateral triangle is increased by 5 cm. The perimeter of the new triangle is 72 cm. What is the side length
Igoryamba

Answer:

19cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the 3 sides are the same.

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides

for example, if the length of the side of the an equilateral triangle is 5, the perimeter is 5 x 3 = 15

let x = unknown length of side

length after increase = x + 5

(x + 5) x 3 = 72

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x + 5 = 24

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

x = 24 - 5 = 19cm

How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5

Which equations and/or functions represent the graphed line? Select four options. f(x) = 0.2x - 4
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

f(x) = 0.2x - 4  (incorrect)

f(x) = 0.5x + 2  (correct)

f(x) = 1/2x + 2      (correct)

y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2)     (correct)

y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1 : Find two coordinates</em>

(0, 2) (-4, 0)

<em>Step 2 : Find the slope</em>

Slope = m = Y2-Y1/X2-X1

m = 0-2/-4-0

m = -2/-4

m = 1/2 or 0.5

<em>Step 3 : Find the y-intercept</em>

Y-intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis

c = 2

<em>Step 4 : Form the equation y=mx + c</em>

<em>Given Equations and their slope intercept forms:</em>

1) f(x) = 0.2x - 4

This is incorrect because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

2) f(x) = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

3) f(x) = 0.5x + 2

y= 0.5x + 2 (As m=0.5)

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

4) y – 3 = 1/2(x – 2)

Rearranging in slope intercept form:

y-3=1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x-1+3

y = 1/2x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

5) y – 1 = 0.5(x + 2)

y -1 = 0.5x+1

y = 0.5x +1+1

y = 0.5x + 2

This is correct because slope is 1/2 or 0.5 and y intercept is 2

effie ate 4 peaches. this represents 50% of the bag of peaches. how many peaches were originally in the bag?
Marat540 [252]

8 peaches. 8 peaches because if effie ate 4 peaches, or half of the bag, you would have to multiply 4 by 2 to get the answer of 8 peaches. mark brainliest please!
