Answer:

1.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the distance on the map

\frac{1}{55} = \frac{x}{99\\}

Cross multiply and solve for x

55x = 99

x = 1.8

So, the distance on the map is 1.8 inches

Answer:

1.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Scales on a map <u>always</u> <u>represent</u> the direct <u>proportion</u>.

<u>Compare</u> the <u>distances</u> as fractions:

Inches on the map

________________  =  \frac{1}{55} = \frac{x}{99}

Miles on the ground

x = \frac{1x99}{55}

x = \frac{99}{55}

x = \frac{9}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5}

x = 1.8 inches

GalinKa [24]

B= (3,6) and D= (18,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two given points add X1 and X2 together, then divide by 2 to get the X value of the midpoint and do the same thing for the Y value. That will get you B. From there you can see to get from point A to point C you add 10 to the x value and add 2 to the y value. Because C is the midpoint just double what you had to add to get point D (add 20 to x and add 4 to y)

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form of the given point and slope. This is an essay style question. If you hit the
svp [43]

Answer:

<h3>y + 2 = 3/7(x-7)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation will be expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0) where;

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given

Slope m = 3/7

Point (x0, y0) = (7, -2)

Substitute into the equation;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - (-2) = 3/7 (x - 7)

<em>y + 2 = 3/7(x-7)</em>

<em>Hence the equation in point-slope form is y + 2 = 3/7(x-7)</em>

A line passes through points (2,5) and (5, 14). What is the slope of this line?
topjm [15]

<u>We know that:</u>

Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate

<u>We are given:</u>

First point = (2,5)

Second point = (5, 14)

<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>

change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y

Δy = 14 - 5

Δy = 9

<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>

Δx = second x - first x

Δx = 5 - 2

Δx = 3

<u>Slope of the line:</u>

Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)

Slope = 9 / 3                                              [replacing the values]

Slope = 3

Determine algebraically whether the given function is even, odd, or neither.
uranmaximum [27]
To check whether a function is odd or even, we simply substitute the argument by its negative version, namely "x" by "-x".

if the expression simplifies to resemble the original expression, that simply means the expression is even.  If it resembles the original negative expression, is odd.

\bf g(x)=-2x^3-9\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\stackrel{x=-x}{g(-x)}=-2(-x)^3-9\implies g(-x)=-2(-x)(-x)(-x)-9&#10;\\\\\\&#10;g(-x)=+2(x)(x)(x)-9\implies g(-x)=2x^3-9

 well, that doesn't look like the original - 2x³ - 9, so is not even.

and -f(x) would be 2x³ + 9, and that doesn't look like either, so is not odd.

thus is neither.
