To control an infection, a doctor recommends that a patient who weighs 92 pounds be given 320 milligrams of antibiotic. If the a

ntibiotic is given proportionally according to the patient's weight, how much antibiotic should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds? 400 milligrams 480 milligrams 550 milligrams 600 milligrams

Answer: 480 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using direct proportion whereby y = kx

where,

x = patient's weight = 92 pounds

k = constant

y = milligrams of antibiotics = 320

Using y = kx

320 = 92k

k = 320/92

k = 3.4782609

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds will be:

y = kx

y = 3.4782609 × 138

y = 480 milligrams

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds is 480 milligrams.

Sam works 1/5 hour at the register of a store. He works 2/3 hour in the back stock room and 1/2 hour helping customers. How many
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Sam worked  \frac{41}{30}  hours that day (fractional answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of hours Sam worked is the sum of all the three hours given.

Let's add the first 2 using LCM and then add that result with the last.

Firstly:

\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{3}\\=\frac{1(3)+2(5)}{15}\\=\frac{13}{15}

Now,

\frac{13}{15}+\frac{1}{2}\\=\frac{13(2)+1(15)}{30}\\=\frac{41}{30}

The hours worked by Sam is 41/30 hours (fractional answer).

What is the slope of the line? -3 -1/3 1/3 3
Paul [167]

Answer:

The slope = Rise over run

Step-by-step explanation:

I would answer your question farther, but you didn't post a picture of the line.

determine two points and count from the left one to the right one. Rise is y so count how many up or down. Run is x so count how many left or right.

1. Write a linear equation with the given information
Readme [11.4K]

1) The equation of the parallel line in Slope Intercept Form is; y = -x - 1

2) The equation of the perpendicular line in Slope Intercept Form is;

y = ³/₂x - 4

<h3>How to write equation in Slope Intercept Form?</h3>

1) When two lines are parallel, it means their slopes are the same.

Formula for equation in slope intercept form is;

y = mx + c

where;

m is slope

c is y-intercept

Thus, slope of y = -x + 1 is m = -1.

Equation of parallel line is;

(y - (-5))/(x - 4) = -1

y + 5 = -x + 4

y = -x - 1

2) When two lines are perpendicular, it means their slopes are the negative inverse of each other. Thus;

Slope of line = -2/3 and so slope of perpendicular line = 3/2. Thus, equation of new line is;

(y + 1)/(x - 2) = 3/2

2y + 2 = 3x - 6

2y = 3x - 8

y = ³/₂x - 4
