Answer:
(b) 21.4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of interesting relations regarding chords and secants and tangents of a circle. With the right point of view, they can be viewed as variations of the same relation, possibly making them easier to remember.
When chords cross inside a circle (as here), each divides the other into two parts. The product of the lengths of the two parts of one chord is the same as the product of the lengths of the two parts of the other chord.
Here, that means ...
7x = 10·15
x = 150/7 = 21 3/7 ≈ 21.4

A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two places. (A tangent is a special case of secant where the two points of intersection are the same point.) When two secants meet outside the circle, there is a special relation between the lengths of the various line segments.
Consider the line segment from the point where the secants meet each other to the far intersection point with the circle. The product of that length and the length to the near intersection point with the circle is the same for both secants.
Here's the viewpoint that merges these two relations:
<em>The product of the lengths from the point of intersection of the lines with each other to the two points of intersection with the circle is the same for each line</em>.
(Note that when the "secant" is a tangent, that product is the square of the distance from the tangent point to the point of intersection with the other line--the distance to the circle multiplied by itself.)
The total number of fish bought was 320. And you know she bought two types of fish. The best way to solve this is guess and check. It would be the fastest. So she bought 7 times as many trigger-fish as parrot fish that means the number of trigger-fish bought was 7p. This means 320 = 7p +p. So all you do is take educated guesses for the number of parrot fish and check if it is right. So if she bought 50 parrot fish. 7(50) + 50 = 400. Close but a bit high. Lets keep guessing. 7(35) + 35 = 245. So now we know the answer is between 50 and 35. So lets try 40. 7(40) + 40 =320. That works so we know she bought 40 parrot fish and 280 trigger-fish.
Answer:
slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y =
x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 
Brady studied for 4.5 hours that week
How we determine the total study hours?
The total study hours for Brady is the sum of the hours used in studying on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
He studied for 1.5 hours on Monday
He studied for 0.75 hours on Tuesday
He studied again for 1.25 hours on Wednesday
Lastly, he studied for 1 hour on Thursday, the last day
Total number of study hours=1.5+0.75+1.25+1
Total number of study hours=4.50
