<span>The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile (1.852 km) per hour, approximately 1.151 mph. The ISO Standard symbol for the knot is kn. The same symbol is preferred by the IEEE; kt is also common.</span>

Just need help on #7 thru 8(a), b and c
Stella [2.4K]

7

a. The slope of the line passing through the points R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is -3/4

b. The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is 5 units

c.  The midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is  (2, 4)

8.

a. The transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

b.

  • The x-coordinate is shifted 1 unit to the left and
  • The y - coordinate is shifted 1 unit downwards.

c. The image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6) is (6, 5)

<h3 /><h3>7 a. How to find the slope of the line?</h3>

The slope of a line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

So, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (2 - 5)/(-1 - 3)

m = -3/-4

m = -3/4

So, the slope of the line passing through the points R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is -3/4

<h3>b. The distance between the points</h3>

The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

d = √[(2 - 5)² + (-1 - 3)²]

d = √[(-3)² + (-4)²]

d = √[9 + 16]

d = √25

d = 5 units

So, the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is 5 units

<h3>7 c How to find the midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) </h3>

The midpoint of the the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is (x, y)  = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

So, the midpoint (x, y)  = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

(x, y)  = [(3 + (-1))/2, (5 + 3)/2]

(x, y)  = [(3 - 1)/2, (5 + 3)/2]

(x, y)  = [4/2, 8/2]

(x, y)  = (2, 4)

So, the midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is  (2, 4)

<h3>8. a The rule for the transformation of point A(1, 4) to point B(2, 3)</h3>

Given that point A(1, 4) and point B(2, 3) we see that point B(1 + 1, 4 - 1).

Let pont A be (x,y).

So, point B = (x + 1, y - 1)

So, the transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

<h3>b. Describe the transformation</h3>

Since the transformation rule is   (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1), we see that

  • the x-coordinate is shifted 1 unit to the left and
  • the y - coordinate is shifted 1 unit downwards.
<h3>c. The image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6)</h3>

Since the transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1) and point B is (5, 6), thus the image of B' is

(x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

(5,6) → (5 + 1, 6 - 1)

(5,6) → (6, 5)

So, the image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6) is (6, 5)

Eleven oz of ground coffee is 2 cups. How many cups is 12 oz?​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

66 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Every 2 cups have 11 ounces of ground coffee. Two times six is 12, so 11 times 6 is 66.

Another explanation is-

2/12 = 11/x

12 times 11 is 132. Then divide that by two to get 66
