Hi there!

The y-intercept of a line represents its initial value. On a graph, the y-intercept would represent the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis.

For example, if an equation were to model the amount of money someone had in their bank account overtime starting from the day they opened their account, the y-intercept would represent the original amount of money they had.

I hope this helps!

You drive 140 miles in 2.5 hours and 300 miles in 5.5 hours. What is the rate of change ?

Sveta_85 [38]

The answer is one and five elevenths, or: 1 5/11

this is because 140/2.5 is 56 and 300/5.5 is 54 6/11.

56 - 54 6/11= 1 5/11

Tienes un triángulo equilátero con lados de 10cm, lo divides en dos partes de manera horizontal tal que el área de ambos figuras

Tanya [424]

Answer:

x = 10/√2 ≈ 7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Comenzaremos por dividir el triángulo en dos partes y definir H, como en la figura adjunta.

Aplicando el teorema de Tales, sabemos que:

$\dfrac{l/2}{H}=\dfrac{x/2}{h}\\\\\\\dfrac{l}{H}=\dfrac{x}{h}$

También sabemos que, dado que el tirángulo menor es la mitad que el triángulo mayor, la relación entre áreas es:

$\dfrac{A}{A_x}=\dfrac{lH/2}{xh/2}=\dfrac{lH}{xh}=2$

Dado que formamos dos triángulos rectángulos, podemos despejar el valor de H como:

$(l/2)^2+H^2=l^2\\\\H^2=l^2-(l/2)^2=10^2-5^2=100-25=75\\\\H^2=\sqrt{75}$

Podemos entonces despejar x de la siguiente manera:

$h=\dfrac{H}{l}\cdot x=\dfrac{lH}{2x}\\\\\\2x^2\dfrac{H}{l}=lH\\\\\\2x^2=l^2\\\\\\x=\dfrac{l}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\approx7.07$

Point A is at (-1,-9) and Point M is at (0.5,-2.5).

leva [86]

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2})$

So firstly, let's start with the x-coordinates. Since we know the midpoint's x-coordinate and point A's x-coordinate, we can solve for point B's x-coordinate as such:

$\frac{-1+x}{2}=0.5\\\\-1+x=1\\\\x=2$

Next, do the same thing except solve for the y-coordinate and using point A's y-coordinate and the midpoint's y-coordinate:

$\frac{-9+y}{2}=-2.5\\\\-9+y=-5\\\\y=4$

<u>Putting it together, point B's coordinates are (2,4).</u>
