Answer: The answer is (D) $\dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{12}{4}.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are 3 feet in 1 yard, which ios equivalent to 12 feet in 4 yards. We are to select the correct option from the four proportions that can be used to represent this.

1 yard = 3 feet implies 4 yards = 12 feet.

Therefore, the required proportion will be written as

$\dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{12}{4}.$

Thus, the correct option is (D).

Write an equation of the line in point slope form parallel to y=1/3x-5 through point (3,-7)

Mashcka [7]

Hmmm so, parallel lines have the same slope, so a line that's parallel to y=1/3x-5, will also have the same slope as that one, what would that be anyway? $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-5$ , well, low and behold, since that equation is in slope-intercept form already, we can see is just 1/3.

so, what is the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through 3, -7?

 $\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ 3 &,& -7~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies \cfrac{1}{3}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-7)=\cfrac{1}{3}(x-3)\implies y+7=\cfrac{1}{3}(x-3)$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A=Area

Using the formulas

$A= 2A_{b} +(a+b+c)h\\A_{b} = \sqrt{s(s-8)(s-10)(s-6)} \\s= \frac{8+10+6}{2}$
