Answer:

a) Veronica earns $276. Francis earns $216

b) $6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Veronica's income would be I= 0.035s +150 where I is income and s is sales while Francis's income would be 0.06s. So for $3600 in sales Veronica earns $276 while Francis earns $216. To find the answer to part b just set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x. so 0.035x + 150 = 0.06x Subtracting 0.035 x from both sides gives 150 = 0.025x. Dividing both sides by 0.025 gives x = $6000

The radius is 10, so the diameter is 20. This means the parts of the diameter (the chord through the center P) to the left and right of the vertical chord have lengths 16 and 4, respectively.

Because the horizontal chord is a diameter, the vertical chord is cut in half, so its parts above and below the diameter both have length x.

Now, by the intersecting chord theorem,

16×4 = x × x

x ² = 64

so that

x = 8

what is the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-4,47) and (2,-16)

Vilka [71]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-4, 47) and (2, -16). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-16-47}{2-(-4)}=\dfrac{-63}{6}=-\dfrac{63:3}{6:3}=-\dfrac{21}{2}$

Therefore we have:

$y=-\dfrac{21}{2}x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (2, -16) to the equation:

$-16=-\dfrac{21}{2}(2)+b\\\\-16=-21+b\qquad\text{add 21 from both sides}\\\\5=b\to b=5$

Answer: $\boxed{y=-\dfrac{21}{2}x+5}$

MVUT =175, mVUJ=17x-3, and mJUT=17x+8. Find x

kotykmax [81]

The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation

$175+17x-3+17x+8=360$
$180+34x=360$
$34x=360-180$
$34x=180$
$x= \frac{180}{34}= \frac{90}{17}$

Answer:

It would be (x0.3,y0.3). C is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you actually read it, it already gave you the answer which is the scale factor of 0.3

so that would lead to (x0.3,y0.3)
