Answer:

1. City A: 150 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.

   City B: 161 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.

2. City A

Step-by-step explanation:

City A:

Population = 123,000

Violent crimes = 185

Violent crimes per 100,000 people:

V_{100k} = \frac{185*100,000}{123,000} \\V_{100k} = 150

City B:

Population = 84,000

Violent crimes = 135

Violent crimes per 100,000 people:

V_{100k} = \frac{135*100,000}{84,000} \\V_{100k} = 161

1. City A: 150 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.

   City B: 161 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.

2. Even though it has a bigger number of crimes, City A has the lowest crime rate since its population is larger.

Write an equation of the line below.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer (<u>assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = \frac{4}{5} x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula m = \frac{y_2-y_1 }{x_2-x_1} and substitute the x and y values of two points on the line into it. We can see that the line passes through (0,0) and (5,4), so let's use those points for the formula and solve:

m = \frac{4-0}{5-0} \\m = \frac{4}{5}

So, the slope is \frac{4}{5}.

2) Next, identify the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the point at which the line intersects the y-axis. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at (0,0), so that must be the y-intercept.

3) Now, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form using the y = mx + b format. The number in place of m represents the slope, so substitute \frac{4}{5} in its place. The number in place of b represents the y-intercept, so substitute 0 in its place. This gives the following answer and equation:

y =\frac{4}{5} x+0\\y = \frac{4}{5} x

Which set of line segments could create a right triangle? 5, 6, 11 5, 9, 10 5, 13, 18 5, 12, 13
serg [7]
In a triangle, the sum of two sides will always be greater than the third. If 5, 9, and 10 are the line segments, 5+9=14 14>10, 10+9=19 19>5, and 5+10=15 15>9
