Answer:

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of people total by p.  Then:

(5/8)p = c = the number of children

Since there are 20 children on the hike, (5/8)p must equal 20:

(5/8)p = 20

Solve for p by multiplying both sides by (8/5):

(8/5)(5/8)p = 20(8/5), or

              p = 32

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

Find the equation for the circle with a diameter whose endpoints are (-5, -3) and (3,2).
densk [106]

Answer:

  (x +1)^2 +(y +0.5)^2 = 22.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter, so is ...

  (h, k) = ((-5, -3) +(3, 2))/2 = (-5+3, -3+2)/2 = (-1, -1/2)

The circle formula is then ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

  (x -(-1))^2 +(y -(-1/2))^2 = r^2

We can find r^2 by substituting one of the points for (x, y).

  (3 +1)^2 +(2 +1/2)^2 = r^2 = 16 +6.25 = 22.25

Then the circle equation is ...

  (x +1)^2 +(y +0.5)^2 = 22.25

What's two thirds of a straight line?
Komok [63]
Well if the straight line is equal to 1 then your answer is 2/3 but if the straight line is not equal to 1 you need to know what it is equal to or you could use the equation y = (2/3)x
"x" would be the length of the straight line and "y" would be two-thirds of it

Por determinante:
5...1...1
1...0...1 = 0 --> se o determinante for igual a 0, os pontos estarão alinhados.
3...3...1

calculando: (5 x 0 x 1 + 1 x 1 x 3 + 1 x 3 x 1) - (1 x 0 x 3 + 1 x 1 x 1 + 3 x 1 x 5) = 
0 + 3 + 3 - 0 - 1 - 15 = 
6 - 1 - 15 = 
5 - 15 = - 10 --> como não deu zero, os pontos não estão alinhados.
