Answer:

The answer is 17 2/3 or 17.6666667

Step-by-step explanation: we have to put one variable on one side and the other on one side. Because 3x is already on one side, we have to move the positive 2. To do this we subtract 55 by 2 getting 53. The we have to divide the 3x out in order to have x. To do this we just divide 53 by 3x getting the answer above.

Given below are the graphs of two lines, y=-0.5 + 5 and y=-1.25x + 8 and several regions and points are shown. Note that C is th

zalisa [80]

We have the following equations:

$(1) \ y=-0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y=-1.25x+8$

So we are asked to write a system of equations or inequalities for each region and each point.

Part a)

Region Example A

$y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ y \leq -1.25x+8$

Region B.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(0,6)$

So let's find out the signs of each inequality by substituting this point in them:

$y \ (?)-0.5x+5 \\ 6 \ (?) -0.5(0)+5 \\ 6 \ (?) \ 5 \\ 6\ \textgreater \ 5 \\ \\ y \ (?) \ -1.25x+8 \\ 6 \ (?) -1.25(0)+8 \\ 6 \ (?) \ 8 \\ 6\ \textless \ 8$

So the inequalities are:

$(1) \ y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y \leq -1.25x+8$

Region C.

A point in this region is:

$P(0,10)$

So let's find out the signs of each inequality by substituting this point in them:

$y \ (?)-0.5x+5 \\ 10 \ (?) -0.5(0)+5 \\ 10 \ (?) \ 5 \\ 10\ \textgreater \ 5 \\ \\ y \ (?) \ -1.25x+8 \\ 10 \ (?) -1.25(0)+8 \\ 10 \ (?) \ 8 \\ 10 \ \ \textgreater \ \ 8$

So the inequalities are:

$(1) \ y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y \geq -1.25x+8$

Region D.

A point in this region is:

$P(8,0)$

So let's find out the signs of each inequality by substituting this point in them:

$y \ (?)-0.5x+5 \\ 0 \ (?) -0.5(8)+5 \\ 0 \ (?) \ 1 \\ 0 \ \ \textless \ \ 1 \\ \\ y \ (?) \ -1.25x+8 \\ 0 \ (?) -1.25(8)+8 \\ 0 \ (?) \ -2 \\ 0 \ \ \textgreater \ \ -2$

So the inequalities are:

$(1) \ y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y \geq -1.25x+8$

Point P:

This point is the intersection of the two lines. So let's solve the system of equations:

$(1) \ y=-0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y=-1.25x+8 \\ \\ Subtracting \ these \ equations: \\ 0=0.75x-3 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ x: \\ x=4 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ y=-0.5(4)+5=3$

Accordingly, the point is:

$\boxed{p(4,3)}$

Point q:

This point is the $x-intercept$ of the line:

$y=-0.5x+5$

So let:

$y=0$

Then

$x=\frac{5}{0.5}=10$

Therefore, the point is:

$\boxed{q(10,0)}$

Part b)

The coordinate of a point within a region must satisfy the corresponding system of inequalities. For each region we have taken a point to build up our inequalities. Now we will take other points and prove that these are the correct regions.

Region Example A

The origin is part of this region, therefore let's take the point:

$O(0,0)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ 0 \leq -0.5(0)+5 \\ \boxed{0 \leq 5} \\ \\ y \leq -1.25x+8 \\ 0 \leq -1.25(0)+8 \\ \boxed{0 \leq 8}$

It is true.

Region B.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(0,7)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ 7 \geq -0.5(0)+5 \\ \boxed{7 \geq \ 5} \\ \\ y \leq \ -1.25x+8 \\ 7 \ \leq -1.25(0)+8 \\ \boxed{7 \leq \ 8}$

It is true

Region C.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(0,11)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ 11 \geq -0.5(0)+5 \\ \boxed{11 \geq \ 5} \\ \\ y \geq \ -1.25x+8 \\ 11 \ \geq -1.25(0)+8 \\ \boxed{11 \geq \ 8}$

It is true

Region D.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(9,0)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ 0 \leq -0.5(9)+5 \\ \boxed{0 \leq \ 0.5} \\ \\ y \geq \ -1.25x+8 \\ 0 \geq -1.25(9)+8 \\ \boxed{0 \geq \ -3.25}$

It is true

Is Figure B a scale copy of Figure A?

Lana71 [14]

Yes
Reason - figure b has been increased by 3 (x3 for each side)
Eg. figure b - 1. Figure a - 3

Is the function even, odd, or neither?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

A function with a graph that is symmetric about the origin is called an odd function. Note: A function can be neither even nor odd if it does not exhibit either symmetry. For example, f(x)=2x f ( x ) = 2 x is neither even nor odd

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation if the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is is -4

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

y=x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b (m=slope and b=y intercept)

so the equation would be y=1x-4 but you should simplify to y=x-4
