Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the road is measured as

slope = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{16}{50}

To express as a percentage multiply the fraction y 100% , that is

slope = \frac{16}{50} × 100% = 16 × 2 = 32%

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

The value of the 9 is ten times the value of the 9 in 329,513. The value of the 2 is one-tenth the value of the 2 in 7,562. The
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: The number is 90,000.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting key information from the question:-

*** The value of the "9" in Lea's riddle is 10 times the one in 329,513

*** The value of the "2" in the riddle is 1/10 the value of the 2 in 7,562.

*** The value of the 6 in the riddle is one-tenth the value of the 6 in 4.68

*** We are required to solve this possible and reveal the number.

Now, in the number 329,513 the place value of 9 is 9,000. According to the information provided, the value of the 9 in the riddle is ten times the value of the 9 in 329,513.

So, multiplying 9000 by 10 gives:-

9,000 × 10

= 90,000

Again, the value of the 2 in the riddle is one-tenth (1/10) the value of the 2 in 7,562. The value of 2 in 7,562 is 2 units, therefore one-tenth of this 2 units will give:-

1/10 × 2

= 0.2

Similarly, the value of 6 in the puzzle is one-tenth (1/10) the value of the 6 in 4.68; The 6 here is 6 hundredth = 0.6

Therefore, the value of 6 in the puzzle is:

1/10 × 0.6

= 0.06

In order to discover the number in Lea's riddle, we will then add up the calculated values:-

= 90,000 + 0.2 + 0.006

= 90,000.26

This number is the answer to Lea's riddle.

Given the function f(x) = 4x - 2, explain and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) in an interval [a,b] is given by:

A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

In this question:

f(x) = 4x - 2, b = 4, a = 2

Thus:

f(b) = f(4) = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14

f(a) = f(2) = 4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6

Average rate of change:

A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

A = \frac{14-6}{4-2}

A = \frac{8}{2}

A = 4

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.
