Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(8/3) / (-4/9)

when dividing fractions you use the acronym k.c.f (keep change flip)

keep the first fraction

change the operation (divide to multiply)

flip the other fraction

(8/-3) x (9/4)

after re-writing your expression, you want to solve

do this by multiplying both numerators by each other and same with the denominators

(-8x9) / (3x-4)

then you get a new fraction,

-72/-12

simplify,

-72/-12 = 6 (multiplying/dividing 2 negatives will always give you a positive)

Choose the equation that represents the graph below: (1 point) Graph of a line passing through points 0 comma 6 and 9 comma 0 y

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Equation of a line $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$ passing through (0,6) and (9,0).

Explanation:

Given the two points (0, 6) and (9 ,0).

To find the equation for the given two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is,

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ ; where m is the slope and is given by:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

First find the slope m:

$m=\frac{0-6}{9-0} =\frac{-6}{9} =\frac{-2}{3}$

Substitute this value in equation of line:

$y-6=\frac{-2}{3} (x-0)$ or

$y-6=\frac{-2}{3} x$

⇒ $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$

Therefore, the equation for the given point is: $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$

A rectangular field with perimeter of 80m is to have an area of at least 380m² . Describe the possible lengths and of the field.

Kryger [21]

$let \: x \: be \: the \: length \\ let \: y \: be \: the \: width$

$perimeter = 2x + 2y \\ area = xy$

$2x + 2y = 80 \\ xy = 380 \\ \\ x + y = 40 \\ xy = 380 \\ \\ x = 40 - y \\ (40 - y)y = 380$

$40y - y {}^{2} = 380 \\ y {}^{2} - 40y + 380 = 0 \\ y {}^{2} - 40y + 400 = 20 \\ (y - 20) {}^{2} = 20 \\ y - 20 =± \sqrt{20} \\ y_{1}=20-√20≈15.52786\\ y_{2}=20+√20≈24.4721$
