Answer:

x-intercept = 1/3, y-intercept = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b (general equation where m=gradient, b=constant)

-8 = 3m + b (from first pair of coordinates)

13 = -4m + b (from second pair of coordinates)

3m + b - (-4m + b) = -8 - 13

7m = -21

m = -3

Using one of the linear equations above:

-8 = 3(-3) + b

-8 = -9 + b

b = 1

Therefore, the linear equation is: y = -3x + 1

To find x-intercept:

Let y = 0

0 = -3x + 1

-1 = -3x

x = 1/3

To find y-intercept:

Let x = 0

y = -3(0) + 1

y = 1

Therefore the x-intercept = 1/3 and y-intercept = 1 for the line that passes through (3, -8) and (-4, 13)

The scale of a certain map is 4/5 inch = 16 miles. A square park is represneted on the map by a square with side length 5/8 inch
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The area of this park is 130.60 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The scale of a certain map is \frac{4}{5} inch = 16 miles. A square park is represented on the map by a square with side length \frac{5}{8} inch.

To find : What is the actual area of this park?

Solution :

The scale of a certain map is \frac{4}{5} inch = 16 miles.

Let the side length of \frac{5}{8} inch = x miles.

So, \dfrac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{5}{8}}=\dfrac{16}{x}

\dfrac{4\times 8}{5\times5}=\dfrac{16}{x}

\dfrac{32}{25}=\dfrac{16}{x}

x=\dfrac{16\times 25}{35}

x=11.428

The side length of a square is 11.428 miles.

The area of the square is A=s^2.

A=(11.42)^2

A=130.599\ miles^2

To nearest hundredth,

The area of this park is 130.60 square miles.
