Answer:

x + y + z = - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal of a : - 6,

Reciprocal of b : 2

Therefore if x is the sum of the reciprocals of a and b, it will be - 6 + 2 = - 4. x will be - 4.

Respectively if y is the product of the reciprocals of a and b, it will be - 6 * 2 = - 12. y is - 12. And if z is twice the reciprocal of a / the reciprocal of b, it will be the following,

z = 2(- 6) / 2

= - 12 / 2 = - 6

And x + y + z = - 4 - 12 - 6 = - 22. That is your solution.

1) 136 is the circumference of a circle with what area? we know C=πd.
136=πd
136/π=d
d=43.290 so the radius is half that, or
r=21.645
taking area as our measure of size,
A=πr²
A=π•21.645²
A=1471.855. answer C is closest. difference is in how they and I rounded

2) c, e, and f

A taxi charges a pick-up fee p!us a charge per mile. Maria paid $15.00 for a 7 mile rode. To my paid $19.50 for a 10 mile ride.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee.  The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation.  A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change.  For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost.  In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5.  So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50.  To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'.  So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b.  or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.
