A junior college is going to choose a Homecoming Queen, and the candidates are the Freshman Queen and the Sophomore Queen. If th

ere are 600 freshman and 400 sophomore voters, which would be a FAIR way of conducting the vote? [Fair, in this case, means that the Freshman Queen does not have an automatic advantage.]
A) Count the votes, then deduct 100 from the freshman total.
B) Count the votes and the Queen with the highest total becomes Homecoming Queen.
C) Count the votes, counting each sophomore ballot as 1.5 votes and each freshman ballot as 1 vote.
D) Count the votes, counting each freshman ballot as 1.5 votes and each sophomore ballot as 1 vote.

Count the votes, counting each sophomore ballot as 1.5 votes and each freshmen ballot as 1 vote.
ur doing this because there is 200 more freshmen then sophomores...and if u count each sophomore vote as 1.5, it would make up for the 200 more freshmen

What does AB congruent symbol CD mean? AB and CD here have lines over them How is it different than AB=CD?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Suppose that we have two line segments, AB and CD. We know that they have the same length.

I know that AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ means AB is identical to CD (aka. They are the same lines), and also that AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ means that AB and CD have the same size, but what does AB=CD mean?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

let dimention of original garden be x

then (x-8)(x-5) = 180

x^2 -13x -140 = 0

(x-20)(x+7)=0

x= 20 or x = -7

x = 20

original area = (20)^2

= 400 m^2

Write an equation of the line that passes through 3,1 and 0,10
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:y = -3x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line that passes through two points, we have to first find the slope between the two equation. We can do this by using the slope formula:

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the two points that we are finding the slope between.

Lets make (x₁, y₁) equal to (0, 10) and (x₂, y₂) equal to (3, 1). Now we plug them into the slope formula:

So the slope between the two points is -3.

From here, I would normally take one of the points given to us and plug in the point and slope into the point-slope form of a line and then simplify until we get it in slope-intercept form. But if you look carefully, the y-intercept is given to us as the point (0, 10). So we now know that the y-intercept of the line is 10. We can now take the y-intercept and the slope and plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line to get out equation:

y = mx + b

plug in -3 for m (the slope) and 10 for b (the y-intercept)

y = -3x + 10

So now we have our equation.

I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)

What is the slope of the line (2,3) (1,-2)?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the slope of the line with this fomula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given the points (2,3) and (1,-2), you can identify that:

y_2=-2\\y_1=3\\x_2=1\\x_1=2

Now, the final step is to substitute these values into the formula  m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, getting that the slope of this line is:

 m=\frac{-2-3}{1-2}

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