Answer:

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 4, 2) and (4, 4). Everything below and to the right of the line is shaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is writing in the general form of the first order equation

y = f(x) or y > f(x) or y < f(x)

And

f(x) = ax + b

In which a is the slope.

We have that:

x - 2y > -6

-2y > -6 - x

When multiplying by -1, the signal changes, from > to <

2y < x + 6

y < 0.5x + 3

The slope is positive, since 0.5 is positive.

Since it is y lesser than, it is everything below and to the right of f(x) is painted.

The line is dashed because this is just lesser, not lesser or equal.

The correct answer is:

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 4, 2) and (4, 4). Everything below and to the right of the line is shaded.

Answer:

D. On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 4, 2) and (4, 4). Everything below and to the right of the line is shaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is x-2y > -6

Now assume that x-2y = -6

The above equation is a line which meets the x-axis at (-6,0) and y-axis at (0,3)

We know that the slope of the line joining the points (a , b) and (c , d) is

m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}

now the slope the given line is m=\frac{3-0}{0-(-6)} = \frac{1}{2}.

The given line has a positive slope.

The given two points in all the options is (-4 , 2) and (4 , 4).

For any point above this line say (0 , 4) does not satisfy the given inequality.

So all the points lied below the given line towards the origin satisfy the given inequality.

Now for deciding wether it is a solid or dashed straight line the following is used,

If the inequality is > or < then it is a dashed line otherwise (in the case of ≤ and  ≥) it is a solid line.

So from all the above we can conclude that the option is

On a coordinate plane , a dashed straight line which has a positive slope and goes through (-4 , 2) and (4 , 4).Everything below and to the right of the line is shaded.

Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse. Round the answer to the nearest tenth, if needed.
SVEN [57.7K]
To solve this, it might be easier to draw it out (see the picture below). I split it into two triangles and used trig functions to find the altitude. I used the big triangle to find theta, and the used theta to find the side of the altitude. *remember that sine= opposite/hypotenuse*

When solving a compound inequality. Micah wrote the solution as x&gt; or equal to 50 OR x&gt;or equal to 75. What is a simpler w
REY [17]

Answer:

The best way of writing this answer in an inequality pattern is 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "x" is said to be greater than or equal to 50, that means that x could be 50, 51, 52, 53, 54......to infinity, all these values are true for x.

The second solution said x is greater or equal to 70. This also means that x could be 70, 71, 72, 73, ......... to infinity.

The inference that can be drawn from here is that x actually started from 50, so anything lesser than 50 is lesser than x, so 50 ≤ x. We can join the two answers together to get a range in a form like: 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

What is the percent of change from 8.0 to 8.2?
vodomira [7]
If you subtract the equation 8.0-8.2=-0.2. If you were to do the opposite then you would answer the equation 8.2-8.0=0.2. So therefore you have two options, -0.2 or 0.2. Good luck!
