Answer:
x = 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
If P(5,4),Q(8,10) and R(x,18) are collinear
then the slope of PQ equals the slope of QR
hence:
(10 - 4)/(8 - 5) = (18 - 10)/(x - 8)
6/3= 8/(x - 8)
2 = 8/(x - 8)
multiplying both sides by (x - 8) gives:
2(x - 8) = 8
2x - 16 = 8
2x = 8 + 16 = 24
hence x = 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1-4
1
n=30/1
so it would be (t,n) instead of (x,y) respectively
so the first would be (1,30)
2. n=30/2
second would be (2,15)
3. n=30/3
third would be (3,10)
4.
n=30/4
fourth would be (4,7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of multiple choice questions
y = number of short response questions
x + y = 15
5x + 10y = 100
=>
x + 2y = 20
let's subtract the first from the second equation :
x + 2y = 20
- x + y = 15
--------------------
0 y = 5
x + y = 15
x + 5 = 15
x = 10
to graph you need to consider both equations as linear functions. and you need to transform them into e.g. a slope intercept form : y = ax + b
a is the slope, b is the y- intercept.
x + y = 15
transforms to
y = -x + 15
this line goes e.g. through the points (0, 15) and (1, 14).
and
x + 2y = 20
transforms to
2y = -x + 20
y = -x/2 + 10
this line goes e.g through (0, 10) and (2, 9).
the crossing point of both lines is the solution and should therefore be the point (10, 5) as calculated above.
