Answer:

Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.

She divided -3 by 6 instead of -3 by 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

(x_2,y_2) = (\frac{2}{3},1)

<em>See attached for steps</em>

Required

Explain Cody's error

<em>Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.</em>

See Proof

Slope (m) is calculated as thus:

m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m =\frac{1 - 4}{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}

m =-\frac{ 3}{\frac{1}{6}}

m = -3/\frac{1}{6}

m = -3 * 6

m = -18

This is in contrast to m = -\frac{1}{2}, calculated by Cody

Solving further to determine the equation.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

m = -18

y - 4 = -18(x - \frac{1}{2})

y - 4 = -18x + 9

Collect Like Terms

y + 18x = 9 + 4

y + 18x = 13

Johnny is reading a novel for the read-a- Thon. The ratio of the number of pages she read to the pages that remain to be read is
mart [117]
There are several ways to answer this question and I will use this approach. Since Johnny reads at a ratio of 7:3 it can be stated that for every 10 pages in a book containing 500 pages Johnny will read 7 of those pages. There are 50 groups of 10 in a 500-page book (50 x 10). Take the ration 7:3 times 50 and use the distributive property:  7:3(50) = (7 x 50):(3 x 50) = 350:150. Based on this Johnny has read 350 pages and has 150 pages remaining.

What is the area of a semi circle that has a diameter of 1 1/2?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

A=0.8836

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle:

\pi r^2

By using the area of a circle, we can get the area of a semicircle:

\frac{\pi r^2}{2}

Let's convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction and then a decimal:

1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5

Now, we solved for the diameter, to get the radius, we need to divide the diameter by 2:

\frac{1.5}{2} =0.75

Now we have the radius, so we can plug in our values and find the area:

\frac{\pi0.75^2}{2} = 0.88357293

A=0.88357293
