Answer:
Ling's principal can hire new teachers in 54 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Ling's elementary school principal wants to hire some new teachers, and 6 teachers applied for one 1st grade teaching job, and 3 teachers applied for one 2nd grade teaching job, and there is also a job opening for a 3rd grade teacher, and 3 teachers applied for the job, to determine how many different ways can Ling's principal hire new teachers the following calculation has to be done:
6 x 3 x 3 = X
18 x 3 = X
54 = X
Therefore, Ling's principal can hire new teachers in 54 different ways.
Answer:
6x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is asking for 4 less than a number times 6. Set this number equal to x, leaving us with 4 less than 6x, or 6x - 4.
Answer:
slope is -1/4
y intercept is 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is (3-5)/(10-2) = -2/8 = -1/4 (using the slope formula)
the y intercept we can set up an equation, y= mx + b
we already know m, which is -1/4 (the slope), and to find b, we could just plug in one of the points to get
5 = (-1/4)*2+b
solve the equation
b = 11/2

Answer:
The lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
Remember that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
<em>Find the slope of the first line</em>
we have the points
(-3,-1) and (1,-9)
substitute in the formula
<em>Find the slope of the second line</em>
we have the points
(1,4) and (5,6)
substitute in the formula
Simplify
<em>Compare the slopes</em>
Find out the product
therefore
The lines are perpendicular
4 or less: 4/8 so 1/2
6 or less: 6/8 so 3/4
8 or less: 8/8 so 1
