Answer:

3) x ≈ 2.7  

Step-by-step explanation:

X is at (1,2) and Y is at (6,7)

A point that is ⅓ of the distance from X to Y also divides the differences of the x-and y-coordinates in the same ratio.

For the x-coordinate,

x₂ - x₁ = 7 - 2 = 5

⅓ × 5  = 5/3  

1 + 5/3 = 8/3

The x-coordinate of the point is x = 8/3 ≈ 2.7.

The graph below shows that the point one-third of the distance from X to Y has an x-coordinate of approximately 2.7.

Answer:

3) 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) can be determined by:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Since the points are X(1, 2) and Y(6, 7). The distance between the two points is

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(6-1)^2+(7-2)^2}=\sqrt{50}

the x value for the  point located 1/3 the distance from X to Y,

x=\frac{x_2-x_1}{3}=\frac{6-1}{3}=1.7

The x value = x_1+1.7 = 1+1.7 = 2.7

What is the solution to the system of equations? y = A system of equations. Y equals StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus 3
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The solution to the given system of equations is (-2,\frac{5}{3})

Therefore the values of x and y are x=-2 and y=\frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations can be written as

y=\frac{2}{3}x+3\hfill (1)

x=-2x+3x=-2\hfill (2)

Solving equation(2) we get

x=-2

Substitute x=-2 in equation (1) we get

y=\frac{2}{3}(-2)+3

=-\frac{4}{3}+3

=\frac{-4+9}{3}

=\frac{5}{3}

Therefore the values of x and y are  x=-2 and y=\frac{5}{3}

The solution to the given system of equations is (-2,\frac{5}{3})

If a triangle has side lengths 7, 10, and 12, is it a right triangle??
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

No. Remember, a right angle must have a 90 degree angle. We can find the lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length 7, 10, and 12, we can assume that 12 is the hypotenuse (it is the longest length).

- we can use 7 and 10 interchangeably.

Fill in the equation, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

                 where c = 12, and a or b = 7 or 10.

To indicate if the given lengths would form a right angle, we can only input 7 or 10, not both.

Therefore, 7^2 + b^2 = 12^2 or 10^2 + b^2 = 12^2

7^2 + b^2 = 12^2 ==> 49 + b^2 = 144 ==> <u>b= </u>\sqrt{95<u> ==> </u><u>9.746</u>

b= 9.7, not 10.

10^2 + b^2 = 12^2 ==> 100 + b^2 = 144 ==> <u>b = </u>\sqrt{44<u> ==> </u><u>6.633 </u>

b= 6.6, not 7.

Therefore, the lengths 7, 10, and 12, does NOT make a right triangle.

Hope this helps!

The dishwasher Marlin wants costs $720. This week only, the dishwasher is discounted by 25%. Marlin must pay 6% sales tax. Which
Mkey [24]

Answer:

C, both methods save the same amount of money

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate what each answer choice will equal.

For A, it asks us to add the sales tax and then take the discount off. So, to find out what the sales tax is equal to, we multiply 720 x 0.06 (because 6% is equal to 0.06).

720 x 0.06 = 43.2

Add the sales tax to the original amount and you get 763.2.

Now we take the discount, which is 25% or 1/4.

1/4 of 763.2 is 190.8.

Subtract the discount from the price and you get 572.4.

For B, it says to take the discount first and then add the sales tax.

25% = 1/4, so 1/4 of 720 is equal to 180.

Subtract 180 from 720, and you get 540.

Now add the sales tax.

540 x 0.06 = 32.4.

540 + 32.4 = 572.4.

The answer is C, both methods save the same amount of money!
