1.) Divide the composite figure into a square on the left, a rectangle in the middle, and a square on the right by drawing two vertical lines through the figure. Then calculate the individual areas of the shapes and add them all together.

2.) Divide the composite figure into a square on the top and a rectangle on the bottom by drawing a horizontal line through the figure. Then calculate the individual areas of the shapes and add them all together.

Hope this helps, and have a wonderful day!

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 17 and passing through the point (0, 0)

Mkey [24]

The equation for a line is y=mx+b. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of 17 is provided. This means m=17. The point (0,0) tells you the y intercept is 0. This means b=0

Plugging these into the equation and simplifying:
y=17x+0

y=17x

Hope this helps :)

Lee's family had a garden in the shape of a right triangle. the total area of the garden is 16 square feet. if they expand the g

lana [24]

Area of right-angled triangle is given by;

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h, Where b=base, h=height

Therefore,

A1 = 1/2bh = 16 in^2
A2 = 1/2 (2b)(2h) = 2bh

Ratio of increase = A2/A1 = {2bh}/(1/2bh} = 4 (the area is increased 4 times)
The,
A2 = 4*16 = 64 in^2
Therefore,
The area is increased by (64-16) = 48 in^2

What is the equation of the following line? be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options

Answer:

The equation for the following graph:

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

- You first need to find the slope by using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

(where $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is the first point and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ is the second point)

-Use the given points $(0,0)$ and $(10, -2)$ from the graph for the formula:

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{10 - 0}$

Then, you solve:

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{10 - 0}$

$m = -\frac{1}{5}$

After you have found the slope, use the slope $-\frac{1}{5}$ and the first point $(0,0)$ for the point-slope formula:

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1})$

(where $m$ is the slope and $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ is the first point)

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x - 0)$

Then, you solve:

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x - 0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5}x - 0$

$y - 0 + 0 = -\frac{1}{5} - 0 + 0$

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$

So, the equation for the following graph is $y = -\frac{1}{5}x$ .

Qaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Kipish [7]

Answer:

32.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?

Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :

y = -0.95x + c

Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:

48 = -0.95(31) + c

c = 48 + 0.95(31)

c = 48 + 29.45

c = 77.45

The equation of the line is

y = -0.95x + 77.45

After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.

y = -0.95(47) + 77.45

y = -44.65 + 77.45

y = 32.8 miles
