Answer:

the lines have opposite slopes
each is a mirror of the other in the line y = -1.5
the point (-3/8, -3/2) is common to both lines

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the first line is 4; the slope of the second line is -4, so the slopes are opposites of each other. (The lines are not perpendicular.)

The y-intercept of the first line is 0; that of the second line is -3, so they cross the y-axis in different places.

Since the slopes are opposites of each other, one line is a reflection of the other about the horizontal line through the point where the lines meet. That point is ...

4x = -4x -3

8x = -3

x = -3/8

y = 4x = -3/2

The point of intersection (common to both lines) is (-3/8, -3/2).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x is proportional and linear ( y = coffienient(x) )

y = -4x - 3 is not proportional because it has a costant ( -3 )

They are both an equation, they have a coffienient, and a value like (x)

Answer:

9a + 6b and 5c - 3d

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

4a + 7b + 5a - b ← collect like terms

= (4a + 5a) + (7b - b)

= 9a + 6b

(b)

6c + 4d - c - 7d ← collect like terms

= (6c - c) + (4d - 7d)

= 5c - 3d

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As x goes up by 1, f(x) goes up by 2. The next line of the chart would be ...

x = 4+1 = 5; f(x) = 9+2 = 11

The appropriate choice is f(5) = 11.

Cidnee is weighing combinations of geometric solids. She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces and that 1 cylinder

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $x$ and $y$ the masses of a cylinder and a prism, measured in ounces, respectively. After a careful reading of the statement we get the following linear equations by interpretation:

i) <em>She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces:</em>

$4\cdot x +5\cdot y = 32\,oz$ (Eq. 1)

ii) <em>And that 1 cylinder and 8 prisms weigh 35 ounces:</em>

$x + 8\cdot y = 35\,oz$ (Eq. 2)

Now we solve the system of linear equations algebraically:

From (Eq. 2):

$x = 35 - 8\cdot y$

(Eq. 2) is (Eq. 1):

$4\cdot (35-8\cdot y) + 5\cdot y = 32$

$140-32\cdot y +5\cdot y = 32$

$32\cdot y - 5\cdot y = 140-32$

$27\cdot y = 108$

$y = 4\,oz$

From (Eq. 2):

$x = 35 - 8\cdot (4)$

$x = 35 - 32$

$x = 3\,oz$

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

1+4(6p-9) simplified

snow_lady [41]

Answer

24p+ (-31)

Step-by-step explanation:

P.EM.D.A.S
4*6p=24p
4*-9=-36
now it looks like: 1+4+24p+-36
now for addition 1+4+24p+-36= 24p+ (-31)

In his first year, a math teacher earned $32,000. Each successive year, he

Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920
