Answer:

One equation would be y= -1.5x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a table to show the coordinates

x: y:

8 -1

-------------------

-4 17

the x coor. 8 goes down by 12 to get to the next x coor. -4.

8-12= -4

the y coor. -1 goes up by 18 to get to the next y coor. 17.

-1+18= 17

therefore 18/-12 is -1.5 which can be your k in y=kx+b.

Check your answer.

-1.5*8= -12 but when you add 11, you get the y coor. -1

Do the same with the other x coor.

-4*-1.5= 6 + 11 =17

11 can be your b in the slope-intercept form equation.

One equation may be y = -1.5x +11

The answer is 175 square inches because you have to multiply 5in•7in to get 35inches per picture and since there are five you have to multiply by 35•5=175

Both circle A and circle B have a central angle measuring 50°. The area of circle A's sector is 36π cm2, and the area of circle

slega [8]

Answer:

A) 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Both circle A and circle B have a central angle measuring 50°.

The area of circle A's sector is 36π cm2.

The area of circle B's sector is 64π cm2.

We know, area of the circle= $\pi r^{2}$

lets assume the radius of circle A be " $r_1$ " and radius of circle B be " $r_2$ "

As given, Area of circle A and B´s sector is 36π and 64π repectively.

Now, writing ratio of area of circle A and B, to find the ratio of radius.

⇒ $\frac{\pi r_1^{2} }{\pi r_2^{2} } = \frac{36\pi }{64\pi }$

Cancelling out the common factor

⇒ $\frac{r_1^{2} }{r_2^{2} } = \frac{36 }{64}$

⇒ $(\frac{r_1 }{r_2} )^{2} = \frac{36 }{64}$

Taking square on both side.

Remember; √a²= a

⇒ $(\frac{r_1 }{r_2} ) =\sqrt{ \frac{36 }{64}}$

⇒ $(\frac{r_1 }{r_2} ) = \frac{6}{8}$

⇒ $\frac{r_1 }{r_2} = \frac{3}{4}$

Hence, ratio of the radius of circle A to the radius of circle B is 3:4 or 3/4.

No more than one state of nature can occur at a given time for a chance event. This indicates that the states of nature are defi

grin007 [14]

Answer:

b. mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given description is an illustration of mutually exclusive events.

Take for instance, when you roll a die;

It is impossible to have an outcome of 2 and 6 at the same time; these means that 2 and 6 are mutually exclusive.

In a nutshell, when two or more sates of events/states of nature can not happen at the same time; such events/states of nature are mutually exclusive.

Concentrated juice boxes 8 boxes = 16 1/4 Keith would like to bring enough concentrated juice in order to have 214 cups availabl

wolverine [178]

Answer:

15 3/4

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

8 boxes = 16 1/4 cups

Required cup of concentrated juice per day = 2 1/4 cups

Total cups that will be required for the entire 7 days :

Number of cups per day * number of days

2 1/4 * 7

= 15 3/4 cups

Since 8 boxes = 16 1/4 ; then 8 boxes will be enough
