<span>Let x=# of boys and y=# of girls

Because "There are 357 seniors", this means that . Solving for "y", we get

Since "The ratio of boys to girls is 7:10", this tells us that we have the ratio:

Start with the given equation

Plug in

Cross multiply

Distribute.

Subtract  from both sides.

Subtract  from both sides.

Combine like terms on the left side.

Divide both sides by  to isolate .

Reduce. So there are 147 boys

Go back to the isolated equation

Plug in

Subtract. So there are 210 girls

Answer:

13. $D = 18$

14. $S = (x, y + 6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

13.

Given

$M = (-8,2)$

$S = (10,2)$

Required

Determine the distance between M and S

Distance (D) is calculated using:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (-8,2)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (10,2)$

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$D = \sqrt{(10 - (-8))^2 + (2 - 2)^2}$

$D = \sqrt{(10 +8)^2 + 0^2}$

$D = \sqrt{18^2 + 0}$

$D = \sqrt{18^2}$

$D = 18$

<em>Hence, the distance between M and S is 18 units</em>

<em></em>

14.

The coordinate of S and P are not given,

So, I'll just use (x,y) for P

i.e.

$P=(x,y)$

Required

Determine the coordinates of S

If S is 6 units above P, then the coordinates of S is

$S = (x, y + 6)$

<em>i.e. we add the units to the y coordinate of P.</em>

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (1/3, -1) and ( -2, 9/2)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$\boxed{m = - \frac{33}{14} }$

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the form below

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

Where

$m$ is a slope
$(x_1,~y_1)$ and $(x_2,~y_2)$ are the point of the line

.

So, the slope is

$(\frac{1}{3} ,~ -1) \to x_1 = \frac{1}{3} ~and~y_1 = -1$

$(-2,~ \frac{9}{2} ) \to x_2 = -2~and~y_2 = \frac{9}{2}$

.

$m = \frac{\frac{9}{2} -(-1)}{-2-\frac{1}{3} }$

$m = \frac{\frac{11}{2} }{\frac{-7}{3} }$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \div (-\frac{7}{3} )$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \times (-\frac{3}{7} )$

$m = - \frac{33}{14}$

.

Happy to help:)
