Given Trinagle ABC with A(-4, -2), B(4,4), and C(18,-8), answer the following questions.

1 answer:

8 0

For the answer to the question above, the slope of segment AC is (-6/22) = -3/11.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, so
you know that the slope of the perpendicular bisector will be 11/3.

The midpoint of segment AC is (7, -5).

Now you have the slope of the perpendicular bisector, and a
point on it. You should be able to complete the equation now.

Notice how sneaky this question is. You don't need to know
point-B at all, and you don't even need to know that there's
any triangle. All you need to know is points A and C.

A manager is comparing the cost of buying ball caps with the team emblem from two different companies. Company X charges a $50 f

Nady [450]

Answer:

10 ball caps

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to know the number of caps the manger would buy that would equate the cost at both companies.

How do we get this?

Since we do not know the number of caps, let’s assign a variable. Let the number of caps that is required be x. Let’s now make some costings in terms of x. We proceed;

Company X charges $50 fee plus $7 per cap. Total amount company X will charge on x caps will be; $50 + $7(x) = $50 + $7x

Company Y will charge $30 plus $9 per cap. Total amount company Y will charge on x caps will be $30 + $9(x) = $30 + $9x

We are trying to look at the value of x that will make both costs equal. What we do is to equate both costs.

30 + 9x = 50 + 7x

We simply by taking like terms to the same sides

9x-7x = 50-30

2x = 20

x = 20/2 = 10

X = 10

So what this means is that manger has to buy 10 caps to have the same cost in both companies

Heather is making a blanket for her baby and is going to put a ribbon border around it. The blanket will be 3 feet by 5 feet. Th

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W)

where:

L is the length of the rectangle
W is the width of the rectangle

∵ The baby blanket shaped a rectangle

∵ The dimensions of the blanket are 3 feet and 5 feet

- Find the area of the blanket

∵ A = 3 × 5 = 15 feet²

- Change feet to yard because the cost is by square yard

∵ 1 foot = $\frac{1}{3}$ yard

∴ 1 foot² = $(\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{1}{9}$ yard²

∴ 15 feet² = 15 × $(\frac{1}{9})$ = $\frac{5}{3}$ yards²

∴ The area of the blanket is $\frac{5}{3}$ yards²

∵ The fabric cost of the blanket is $1.25 per square yard

∴ The fabric cost = $\frac{5}{3}$ × 1.25

∴ The fabric cost = 2.08333 dollars

∵ Heather is going to put a ribbon border around it

- The length of the ribbon is equal to the perimeter of the blanket

∵ P = 2(3 + 5) = 16 feet

∴ The length of the ribbon is 16 feet

∵ The cost of the ribbon is $0.5 per foot

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 16 × 0.5

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 8 dollars

Now add the fabric cost to the ribbon cost to find the total cost of the blanket

∵ The total cost = 2.08333 + 8

∴ The total cost = 10.08333

- Round it to the nearest cent

∴ The total cost = 10.08 dollars

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08

What is the independent variable?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are two types of variables we need to focus on, the first is the dependent variable, the second is the independent variable ( which is the one in question). You asked about it in relation to mathematics, although even across the board, in science they both really mean the same thing. Here's an example, say you are taking a test, and the rubric for grading the test is 5 points (p) for every question (q) answered correctly. So given that information you can conclude that (p) is equal to 5 x the amount of questions you got right (p = 5q). The amount of points in this equation relies on how many questions you get right, you can't logically say that question (q) is equal to 5 points (p), because the questions don't depend on the points, the points depend on the amount of questions you get right. So that means since the points (p) depend on the # of questions you answered correctly, it is the dependent variable, there for by process of elimination you're independent variable is (q) since they don't rely on the points, the points rely on the questions. It all boils down to how well you can recognize this, and how complicated your question is, but hopefully this provided some insight.

Use H. 30 but just to let you know the x axis is along the bottom and the y is up and down. in order to pick a scale you need to fit all of the data points into the graph
