Explanation

So first we’re gonna change the equation to y=Mx+b by subtracting the 8x and then dividing both sides by -4. This can be show like this

8x-4y=12
-8x. -8x

-4y=-8x+12
/-4. /-4

Y=2x-3

So now that we have the equation in Y=Mx+b. The problem still isn’t done because it’s asking us to set up an equation that’s perpendicular. Which means the slope becomes the opposite

So the slope isn’t 2 anymore but instead -1/2! So now that we know that we need to make the line go through the origin which is very easy because you can just set the y intercept to 0.

So now that the perpendicular line is

Y=-1/2x or y=-1/2x +0

I hope I explain this well!

A) 3x2=6+37=43

B) 43 rounding to greatest place value=40

Marco Weighs 40 Pounds.Its Because 3x4=6+37=43.Last When You Round 43 You Have To Round To The Greatest Place Value.So When You Round The 3 Is Low So You Change It To 0 And The 4 Stays The Same

What is 7 im so confused
erastova [34]

Answer:

7 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

John saves  f(x) = 60+5x

Sarah saves g(x) =x^2 +46

They save the same amount of money

Set the equations equal

60+5x =x^2 +46

Subtract 60 from each side

60+5x -60 =x^2 +46-60

5x= x^2 - 14

Subtract 5x from each side

5x -5x= x^2-5x - 14

0 = x^2-5x - 14

Factor

0 = (x-7) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

x-7=0   x+2 =0

x=7  x=-2

Since we cannot have negative weeks

x=7

Determine whether triangle XYZ is scalene, isosceles or equilateral.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

<u>scalene</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of XZ = √3² + 4² = √25 = 5

Length of ZY = √1² + 7² = √50 = 5√2

Length of XY = √4² + 5² = √41

As all lengths are different, the triangle is <u>scalene</u>

The given above is are triangles, as per the proof the line segments on top and bottom part are parallel. Also, it is given that two pairs of the angles of the triangles are congruent. 

The triangles also share one common side, CA. Since, this side is between the angles the postulate that will prove the congruence of the triangles is ASA. 

The answer to this item is the third choice.
