Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given equation</u>
<u>Answer choices</u>
A. The equation represents a proportional relationship.
- TRUE, it is in the form of y = kx
B. The unit rate of change of y with respect to x is 8.5
- TRUE, y = mx + b, the slope m = 8.5 is the rate of change
C. The slope of the line is 2/17
D. A change of 17 units in x results in a change of 2 units in y.
- False, a change of x = 17 results in 17*8.5 = 144.5 units in y
E. A change of 4 units in x results in a change of 34 units in y.
Answer:
Δ JKL is similar to Δ ABC ⇒ D
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles have equal angles in measures
In ΔABC
∵ m∠A = 15°
∵ m∠B = 120
∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°
∴ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
→ Substitute the measures of ∠A and ∠B
∵ 15 + 120 + m∠C = 180
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∴ 135 + m∠C = 180
→ Subtract 135 from both sides
∴ 135 - 135 + m∠C = 180 - 135
∴ m∠C = 45°
The similar Δ to ΔABC must have the same measures of angles
If triangles ABC and JKL are similar, then
m∠A must equal m∠J
m∠B must equal m∠K
m∠C must equal m∠L
∵ m∠J = 15°
∴ m∠A = m∠J
∵ m∠L = 45°
∴ m∠C = m∠L
∵ m∠J + m∠K + m∠L = 180°
→ Substitute the measures of ∠J and ∠L
∵ 15 + m∠K + 45 = 180
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∴ 60 + m∠K = 180
→ Subtract 60 from both sides
∴ 60 - 60 + m∠K = 180 - 60
∴ m∠K = 120°
∴ m∠B = m∠K
∴ Δ JKL is similar to Δ ABC
Answer: C, 4 gallons per minute.
Step-by-step explanation: To find the unit rate of the faucet, we must make the units an even gallons/minute. Thus, we multiply each rate by 5 to get 4 gallons/minute.
0.14 as if you convert it into like decimal (add a 0 if the places are not the same e.g. 0.1 and 0.02 here 0.1 does not have the same number of digits so add a zero so it becomes 0.10 :. 0.10 is bigger then 0.02) (note the value of 0.1 will remain the same) so here 0.14 will become 0.140 :. bigger than 0.135
