Algebra I

Coordinates (x, y)
Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-5, -10)

Point (-1, 5)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{5+10}{-1+5}$
[Fraction] Add: $\displaystyle m=\frac{15}{4}$

If BCD ~ GEF, find BD

Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if the triangles are similar then EG/BC = FG/BD

51/(x+4) = 57/(2x-7) cross multiply expressions

102x - 357 = 57x + 228

102x - 57x = 228 + 357

45x = 585 divide both sides by 45

x = 13

BD = 2x -7 and 13×2 - 7 = 19

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

y = 4x + -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept which is -9, is the point in which the graph crosses the x-axis

In order to find the slope we need to identify two clear points on the graph.

- (0, -9)

- ( 1, -5)

Now that we have our two points we need to find the distance between them.

As you can see on the attachment the distance between the two points is 4 units up and 1 unit to the right, therefore the slope is 4/1 = 4.

Final Answer: y = 4x + -9

428 students were surveyed about their preferences of sports. 146 students like football, 144 students like baseball, and 45 stu

ella [17]

This is what we already know:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc} &YB&NB&total\\YF&45&[unknown]&146\\NF&[unknown]&[unknown]&[unknown]\\total&144&[unknown]&428\end{array}\right]$

And using this information, we can fill the table out. Remember that everything must add up to the total in the column and row. The complete table looks like this:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc} &YB&NB&total\\YF&45&101&146\\NF&99&183&282\\total&144&284&428\end{array}\right]$

Using the complete table, we see the fraction for students that only like baseball is $\frac{99}{428}$ and students who only like football is $\frac{101}{428}$ . All you need to do is add these fractions together to get your answer.

$\frac{99}{428} +\frac{101}{428} =\frac{200}{428}$

In short, 200 students only like one of the two sports.

Part B Calculate BD. Show your work. What does this length represent with regard to ∆ABC?

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

4, It is the height of triangle ABC

Step-by-step explanation:

The easy way is to just count. But you can also use the Pythagorean theorem because BDC is a right triangle. First, use the distance formula to find BC. $\sqrt{(5-2)^{2} +(-2-2)^2$ =5

5^2=BD^2+DC^2

25=BD^2+9

BD=4
