Answer:

y=-2/5x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Begin by changing the equation into slope-intercept form. Subtract 2x to both sides to get 5y=-10-2x. Divide 5 to both sides to isolate the variable, y. You should get y=-2/5x-2.

Step 2: Because we are looking for a line parallel to the given line, the slope should be the same, but the y-intercept should be different. Remove -2 to replace it with b, so it's unknown. The equation should be y=-2/5x+b. Plug in the ordered pair, (10, 4), into the equation to get 4=-2/5(10)+b. Multiply -2/5 and 10 to get -4. Add -4 to both sides and b=8. Plug in 8 and your final equation should be y=-2/5x+8.

Rosalie is organizing a circus performance to raise money for a charity. She is trying to decide how much to charge for tickets.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

she should charge $7.395 per ticket in order to make the most money.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

If Rosalie charges $5 then 1175 people will attend the circus performance

If Rosalie charges $7 then 935 people will attend the circus performance

Let x be the cost and y to be the number of people that will attend the performance . Then, we will have two points which are;

(5, 1175) and (7, 935)

The slope(m) of this points = $\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

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

$=\dfrac{935-1175}{7-5}$

Slope (m) = $\dfrac{-240}{2}$

Slope (m) = -120

However; we can now have the linear equation:

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

$y-1175= -120(x-5)$

$y-1175= -120x+600$

$y= -120x+600+1175$

$y= -120x+1775$

The linear function is : y = -120x + 1775

Now; the total amount of money she can now earn is:

f(x) = xy

f(x) = x(-120x + 1775)

f(x) = -120x² + 1775x

The above expression is a quadratic equation; Using the quadratic formula; we have:

$=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where; a = -120 ; b = +1775 and c = 0

$=\dfrac{-(1775) \pm \sqrt{(1775)^2-4(-120)(0)}}{2(-120)}$

$=\dfrac{-(1775) + \sqrt{(1775)^2-4(-120)(0)}}{2(-120)} \ \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ \dfrac{-(1775) -\sqrt{(1775)^2-4(-120)(0)}}{2(-120)}$

$=\dfrac{-(1775) + \sqrt{(1775)^2}}{(-240)} \ \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ \dfrac{-(1775) -\sqrt{(1775)^2}}{(-240)}$

$=\dfrac{-(1775) + (1775)}{(-240)} \ \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ \dfrac{-(1775) - (1775)}{(-240)}$

$=\dfrac{0}{(-240)} \ \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ \dfrac{-3550}{(-240)}$

= 0 OR 14.79

Since; we are considering the value greater than zero

x = 14.79

maximum value of x = 14.79/2 = 7.395

Thus ; she should charge $7.395 per ticket in order to make the most money.

Part A: Parallel lines are two lines that never meet. Find an example that contradicts this definition. How would you change the

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The problem in the first statement is that it does not say that the lines must be in the same plane.

Suppose in a 3D coordinate axis two lines as:

z = 0, y = 0 (this is the x-axis)

y = 1, x = 0 (this line is parallel to the z-axis but one unit above).

Those two lines are not parallel, and also never meet, so the definition is wrong.

The actual definition should be:

"Parallel lines are two lines that lie on the same plane and never meet"

B: The undefined terms are point, line, plane,...

An example can be "Plane", because if our lines do not lie on the same plane, then we can not use the concept of "parallel lines".

Khan academy how to solve equations with fractions and mixed numbers

Rufina [12.5K]

Generally, you are told to approach these by "clearing fractions". That is, you generally multiply the equations by the least common denominator so all fractions and mixed numbers become integers.

Alternatively, you can simply do the arithmetic using the numbers given. You learned a long time ago how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide mixed numbers and fractions. Do these operations as necessary to solve the equations.

It is estimated that 4,600 people, correct to the

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The minimum would be 4,500, and the maximum would be 4,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am not mistaken, you simply need to add or subtract 100 to find the minimum or maximum, as it stated that 4,600 is an estimate that is valid for a range of 100 (up or down).
