Answer: it is slope intercept form

Example: y= 5x + 8

this means that 5x is the slope so when graphed, you would go 5 up and 1 over (you can think of it as 5/1) and the 8 signifies the y- intercept. The y- intercept indicates where you start graphing

8. You are planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. The tiles are blue-and-white equilateral triangles. You d

ira [324]

Step 1

Find the area of one equilateral triangle

Applying the law of sines

$Area=\frac{1}{2} *a*b*sin C$

in this problem

a=b=7 cm

C=60 degrees

$Area=\frac{1}{2} *7*7*sin 60$

$Area=\frac{1}{2} *49*\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ Area=49*\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ cm²

Step 2

To calculate the area of the hexagon multiply the area of one equilateral triangle by $6$

$Area Hexagon=6*[49*\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}] \\ Area Hexagon=73.5*\sqrt{3}$ cm²

therefore

the answer is the option

73.5 sqrt 3cm²

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

wolverine [178]

Answer:

y=3/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-4= -⅔(x-6)

y-4=-⅔x+4

y=-⅔x+4+4

(equation of line 1) y= -⅔x+8 gradient= -⅔

(line 2)gradient=3/2

note* the gradients of perpendicular lines multiplied result to -1

gradient=y²-y²

x²-x¹

3 =y+2

2. x+2

multiply both sides by 2(x+2)to remove the denominators

3(x+2)=2(y+2)

3x+6=2y+4

3x+6-4=2y

3x+2=2y

divide all sides by 2

3/2x+1=y

y=3/2x+1

Y varies directly as x and y =18 when x=1/2 write an equation that relates y and x

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

y = 36x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x, then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 18 when x = $\frac{1}{2}$ , thus
