First, recall that the equation of a line is
y = mx+b
where
m = slope
b = y-int
The key to this question is the details :
Horizontal line ---> This tells you that your slope is 0
y-int = 3.5 -----> In the equation above, b=3.5
Therefore,
y = 0x + 3.5
y = 0 + 3.5
y = 3.5
Area = Length x Width
The Length is 2 inches
The Width is 5/6 inches
2 * (5/6) = 10/6
simplify and you get....
5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When w=10, 7w=7×10=70
But the given value of 7w is 73.
So, the given value is not a solution of the equation.
<u>Answer </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
Given inequality ,
- -5x +3y > 12
- 3y > 5x + 12
- y > 5/3x + 12/3
- y > 5/3x + 4
From the options ,
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>9</u>
- y >1* 5 + 4
- y > 5 +4
- 9> 9 ( Not possible )
<u>When</u><u> </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>5</u><u> </u>
- y > 5/3*-5 + 4
- y > -8.3 + 4
- 5 > -3.7 ( Possible )
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u>
- y > 5 + 4
- -6 > 9 ( Not possible )
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u> </u>
- y > -3.33 + 4
- -5 > -0.67 ( Possible )
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>8</u><u> </u>
- y > 3.33 + 4
- 8 > 7.77 ( possible )
<u>When</u><u> </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>0</u><u> </u>
- y > -10 +4
- 0 > -6 ( possible )
Answer: A) 0 triangles
============================================================
Explanation:
Adding up the two smaller sides gets us 9.6+11.6 = 21.2, but this result is not larger than the third side of 21.2
For a triangle to be possible, we need to be able to add any two sides and have the sum be larger than the third remaining side. This is the triangle inequality theorem.
I recommend you cutting out slips of paper with these side lengths and trying it out yourself. You'll find that a triangle cannot be formed. The 9.6 cm and the 11.6 cm sides will combine to form a straight line that is 21.2 cm, but a triangle won't form.
As another example of a triangle that can't be formed is a triangle with sides of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 8 cm. The 3 and 5 cm sides add to 3+5 = 8 cm, but this does not exceed the third side. The best we can do is form a straight line but that's not a triangle.
In short, zero triangles can be formed with the given side lengths of 9.6 cm, 11.6 cm, and 21.2 cm
