Helena wrote the equation using point-slope form for the line that passes through the points (5, 1) and (3, 5). Analyze the step

s of her work using the point-slope form to write the equation. equation In which step did Helena make an error? In step 1, she substituted the x values for y and the y values for x. In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair. In step 3, she solved for the wrong variable. Helena did not make an error.

Answer:

In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have the points (5, 1) and (3, 5)

step 1

Find the slope

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

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

substitute

m=\frac{5-1}{3-5}

m=\frac{4}{-2}

m=-2

step 2

The equation of the line in point slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

take the point (3,5)

m=-2

substitute

y-5=-2(x-3)

y-5=-2x+6

y=-2x+6+5

step 3

y=-2x+11

therefore

In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair

Julia collects colored beads for craft projects. Of julia's beads, 4/9 are silver, 1/5 are, gold and 1/4 are blue. The rest of t
klemol [59]

Answer:

19 red beads

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find a common denominator of 4/9, 1/5 and 1/4.

The common denominator is 180. Like in an expression, what we do to one side we have to do to the other.

Silver - 180/9 = 20 ; 20*4 = 80 so there are roughly 80 sliver beads.

Gold - 180/5 = 36 ; 36*1 = 36 so there are roughly 36 gold beads.

Blue - 180/4 = 45 ; 45*1 = 45 so there are roughly 56 blue beads.

180 - (silver+gold+blue) = red beads

180-161 = 19 red beads b/c ----->

80+36+45+19 = 180

Variable c is 5 more than variable
shutvik [7]
First, let us restate the given conditions

c is 5 more than variable a ( c = a + 5)
c is also three less than variable a (c = a - 3)

Now, lets look at the answer choices and or given
c = a − 5 
c = a + 3
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified

a = c + 5
a = 3c − 3 
Here, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So,
Simplified version :
c = a - 5
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified


a = c − 5
a = 3c + 3
Here also, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So, 
simplified version:
c = a + 5
Here, c is 5 more than "a"...so we continue
c = (a - 3) / 3
Here, c is 3 less than "a" <u>divided by 3</u><u /> . So, this is not correct

c = a + 5
c = a − 3
Here, c is 5 more than "A"
Also, c is 3 less than "a"
Which satisfies the given.

 So, our answer is going to be the last one:
 
 c = a + 5
 c = a - 3

In triangle abc, the perimeter is 36, and ab=ac. line ad is perpendicular to bc at the point d, and triangle abd's perimeter is
Musya8 [376]
Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.

Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:

Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36

The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.

Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).

The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:

Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

So, we have two equations on x, y and z:

(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):

(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60

And solve for z:

36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12

The measure of ad is 12.

If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:

- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).

- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:

ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12
