Answer:

The slope is 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope determines the direction and the rate of increase or decrease between the two points on a surface or line.

In the question, it is given initially she is 20 miles north of her house

⇒ When x = 0 the y-coordinate is 20

So, the y-intercept is 20

Now, it is given that the rate of change is 55 miles per hour

Hence, the slope is same as 55 because it is the actual rate of change between the positions of Jennifer with time.

Hence, The slope is 55.

Bella cycled a total of 12 kilometers by making 4 trips to work. How many trips will Bella have to make to cycle a total of 18 k

UkoKoshka [18]

6 trips because 1 trip = 3 km
If you divide 18 / 3 it would be 6 and by that multiply the # of trips.

Please I really need help with this question

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC and DEF are parallel lines. So, ∠ABE and ∠BED are co interior angles.

∠ABE + ∠BED = 180 {SUM OF CO INTERIOR ANGLE IS 180}

∠ABE+ 110.2 = 180

∠ABE = 180 - 110.2

∠ABE = 69.8

Now, ABC is straight line

∠ABE + ∠EBG + ∠CBG = 180

69.8 + ∠EBG + 34.8 = 180

104.6 + ∠EBG = 180

∠EBG = 180 - 104.6

∠EBG = 75.4

Again, DEF is straight line

∠DEB + ∠BEG + ∠GEF = 180

110.2 + ∠BEG + 25.6 = 180

∠BEG + 135.8 = 180

∠BEG = 180 - 135.8

∠BEG = 44.2

In triangle BEG,

∠BEG + x + ∠EBG = 180 { sum of all angles of triangle is 180}

44.2 + x + 75.4 = 180

x + 119.6 = 180

x = 180 - 119.6

x = 60.4

Answer 37, 38, and 39 and make sure to answer with either the letter or with one of the answers shown! SHOW YOUR WORK PLEASE!!

ollegr [7]

Answer:

I didn't even realize until I had written all of the answers down that they are all C.

37 = C. 15%

38 = C. 2 $x^{3}$

39 = C. 48

Step-by-step explanation:

37: I used process of elimination to figure out which percentage of decrease it was by just multiplying 42 by each percentage until I got 6.3 which is what you need to subtract from 42 to get 35.7, so the answer is C, or 15%.

38: A coefficient is the number that is being multiplied by the variable, which in this case is "x". So whatever answer involves "2x" is the correct answer. Therefore the answer is C, or 2 $x^{3}$ .

39: You have to add the amount of money Henry paid for painting supplies and how much profit he mad to figure out how much money he really made. 400 + 560 = 960 and he charges $20 for each painting so you need to divide 960/20 to get your answer, which is C, or 48.
