It means the variable y is equal to the negative variable of x.
It these triangles are similar, then the sides of the triangles are in proportion:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 10y from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 5</em>
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 8</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(2,-4)....x1= 2 and y1 = -4
(p,8).....x2 = p and y2 = 8
slope(m) = 1/2
now use the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) and sub in what we know...
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2- x1)
1 / 2 = (8 - (-4) / (p - 2)
1 / 2 = (8 + 4) / (p - 2)
1/2 = 12 / (p - 2) .....now multiply both sides by (p - 2)
1/2(p - 2) = 12
1/2p - 1 = 12
1/2p = 12 + 1
1/2p = 13
p = 13 / (1/2)
p = 13 * 2/1
p = 26
so the value of p is 26
We can’t answer this question without more info. It’s clearly a multiple choice question, so you need to provide the answers.
The monthly rate is $45 for this cellphone plan.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Amount charged for cell phone = $60
Amount paid by Regina for 24 month plan = $1140
Number of months = 24
Let,
m be the monthly rate for cellphone plan
Number of months * Monthly rate + cellphone charges = Amount paid
Dividing both sides by 24
The monthly rate is $45 for this cellphone plan.
