Answer:

∠VUW

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three angles. Types of triangles are obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.

In triangle VUW, since VU = WU, hence it is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, two sides of the triangle are equal.

The size of an angle depends on its opposite side, the higher the opposite side the higher the angle. Since In triangle VUW, VU = 9, WU = 9, VW = 5. Since VW is the smallest side, the angle opposite to VW is the smallest angle.

Hence the smallest angle = ∠VUW

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The <u>independent variable</u> is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The <u>dependent variable</u> it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost
