Answer:

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

To increase a certain amount by a given percentage, we can first calculate the increasing amount and then add it to the original amount.

If the price of the basket of watermelons was $9 before tax, and the sales tax is 9%, we first calculate the tax amount to pay:

$9 * 9 / 100 = $0.81

Now we add it to $9 to get the total price paid by Tiffany:

Total price = $9 + $0.81 = $9.81

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

A line passes throught the point (-4,7) and has a slope of 2/3. Write an equation in point slope form for this line.

NikAS [45]

Equation in point slope form of a line:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
m=slope

(x₀,y₀)=(-4,7)
m=2/3
y-7=(2/3)(x+4)

Answer: y-7=(2/3)(x+4)

Circle X with a radius of 6 units and circle Y with a radius of 2 units are shown. Which steps would prove the circles similar?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

See bolded below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the attachment below. It represents circle x and y, with respect to each of their radii. In each of the options we are given, we would have to translate and dilate the circles, by a fixed scale factor -

Now the first thing one would do is translate the circles so that they share a common center point, or in other words the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle. That way when dilating circle y, it may fit into circle x as it expands.

The second point is how much this smaller circle ( circle y ) has to expand. The radius of circle y being 2, has to increase by 3 times the value to equal the radius of circle x, and hence has to dilate by a scale factor of 3 as to match circle x,

Solution = " Translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle Y by a scale factor of 3 " / Option D
