Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The slope of a vertical line is undefined

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

A(x+14, 5) and B(2−3x, 8)

substitute

m=\frac{8-5}{(2-3x)-(x+14)}

m=\frac{3}{2-3x-x-14}

m=\frac{3}{-4x-12}

so

If the slope is undefined

then

The denominator must be equal to zero

-4x-12=0

solve for x

4x=-12\\x=-3

katia makes crafts using glass jars She can buy packages of 12 jars for $9 how many jars can kitia buy with $45
ale4655 [162]

Hello!

If Katia can buy packages of jars for $9, we can determine how many packages she can purchase with $45 by using the formula:

45/9 = 5

We divide the total number of money that she has by the amount of money one package of jars costs. Now, the question also asks how many jars she can buy, not just how many packages.

We know that she can buy 5 packages, and that there are 12 jars in each package. To find the total number of jars she can buy, we will multiply 5 by 12.

5 x 12 = 60

Katia can buy 60 jars with $45.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!

Find two other pairs of polar coordinates of the given polar coordinate, one with r > 0 and one with r < 0.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

A) (5, 7π/4):   (5, 15π/4) and (-5, 3π/4)

B) (−6, π/2):   (−6, 5π/2) and (6, -π/2)

C) (5, −2):       (5, 2π-2) and (-5, -π-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find pair of coordinates for (r>0), add 2π to corresponding θ. For (r<0) subtract π from given angle to find second pair of coordinate.

A)  (5, 7π/4)

For (r>0)

θ =  7π/4 + 2π

θ =  15π/4

Point is (5, 15π/4)

For (r<0)

θ =  7π/4 - π

θ =  3π/4

Point is (-5, 3π/4)

As it can be seen in Fig 1

(5, 7π/4)=(5, 15π/4)=(-5, 3π/4)

B)  (−6, π/2)

For (r>0)

θ =  π/2 + 2π

θ =  5π/2

Point is (6, 5π/2)

For (r<0)

θ =  π/2 - π

θ =  -π/2

Point is (-6, -π/2)

As shown in fig 2

(-6, π/2) = (6, 5π/2) = (-6, -π/2)

C) (5, −2)

For (r>0)

θ =  -2 + 2π

Point is (5, 2π-2)

For (r<0)

θ =  -2 - π

Point is (-5, -π)

As shown in Fig. 3

(5, −2) = (5, 2π-2) = (-5, -π)

NEED HELP FAST. (Fractions) 5/6 + 1/3, in the simplest form. Please explain how you got the answer.
BARSIC [14]
5/6 + 1/3

To add both sides need the same denominator. To give he fractions a common denominator, multiply the second fraction (1/3) by 2.

5/6 + 2/6

Add the numerators

7/6

Change into mixed number

1 and 1/6

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any questions you may have
