Answer:

Area of the rectangle(A) is given by:

A =lw

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

A rectangle has an area of 72 in²

⇒A = 72 in²

then;

lw = 72

It is given that:

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5.

Length of new rectangle become = 3.5l

Width of new rectangle become = 3.5 w

then;

Area of new rectangle  = (Length of new rectangle)(Width of new rectangle)

⇒Area of new rectangle = (3.5l)(3.5w) =12.25(lw)

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Area of new rectangle} = 12.25 \cdot 72 = 882 in^2

Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is, 882 in²

Does the point (0, 0) satisfy the equation y = 9x?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

yes it does

Step-by-step explanation:

because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.

Which equation shows 6(x + 4) = 2( y + 5) solved for y? A. y = x + 3 B. y = 3x + 5 C. y = 3x + 7 D. y = 3x + 17
UNO [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6(x + 4) = 2(y + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides of the equation

6x + 24 = 2y + 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

6x + 14 = 2y ( divide all terms by 2 )

3x + 7 = y, hence

y = 3x + 7 → C
