Answer:

y = -3/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3/2x + b

-3 = -3/2(4) + b

-3 = -6 + b

3 = b

Please I need help!!

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 4 gallons is 1 gallons, which means that 75% of the hand sanitizer is not alcohol, and is 3 gallons. since that is the amount of not alcohol, and we want it to be 50% solution, it has to be 3 gallons of alcohol in total, and 3-1=2.

A child is flying a kite 145ft above the ground. The string makes an angle of 57 degrees from the child's hands. How much has be

Arturiano [62]

Answer: the length of string that been let out to fly the kite this high is 172.89 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of string attached to the kite, the vertical height of the kite above the ground and the ground distance forms a right angle triangle.

With an angle of 57 degrees, the length of the string that is attached to the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side of the triangle

To determine h, the length of the string that has been let out to fly the kite this high, we would apply the

Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sine θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 57 = 145/h

h = 145/Sin57 = 145/0.8387

h = 172.89

On a coordinate plane, a line has points (negative 2, negative 4) and (4, 2). Point P is at (0, 4). Which points lie on the line

NikAS [45]

Answer:

the correct options are:

(–1, 3), (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a line passes through two points

A(-2, -4) and B(4, 2)

Another point P(0, 4)

To find:

Which points lie on the line that passes through P and is parallel to line AB ?

Solution:

First of all, let us the find the equation of the line which is parallel to AB and passes through point P.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope of a line is given as:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{4-(-2)} = 1$

Now, using slope intercept form ( $y = mx+c$ ) of a line, we can write the equation of line parallel to AB:

$y =(1)x+c \Rightarrow y = x+c$

Now, putting the point P(0,4) to find c:

$4 = 0 +c \Rightarrow c = 4$

So, the equation is $\bold{y=x+4}$

So, the coordinates given in the options which have value of y coordinate equal to 4 greater than x coordinate will be true.

So, the correct options are:

(–1, 3), (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, SU = 7, UT = 24, and TS = 25. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠T?

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Tan T = 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, please check attachment to have a picture of the triangle we are solving.

Now, we are concerned with calculating the ratio that represents the tangent of angle T.

Mathematically, the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite to the length of the adjacent.

In this question, our opposite is 7 while the adjacent is 24.

Thus Tan T = 7/24
