Hey there! I'm happy to help!
The median is the line cutting the triangle in this graph. In general, a median connects any of the triangle points to halfway across the side opposite to that point. This median connects R to halfway across the side across from R.
We want to find the equation of this median. We see that T is at (-2,3) and R is (3,-3). The first thing to do when looking for the equation of the line is to find the slope, or incline. Since we have two points, we can do this very easily. You simply divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values.
DIFFERENCE IN Y-VALUES
3-(-3)
3+3
6
DIFFERENCE IN X-VALUES
-2-3
-5
Now, we divide the two answers, giving us -6/5.
So, we have our slope, which gives us the equation so far y=-6/5x+b. We just need to find the b, which is our y-intercept. Well, to do this, we plug in one of our points and we can solve for b. We will use (3,-3)!
-3=-6/5(3)+b
-3=-3 3/5+b
We add 3 3/5 to both sides to isolate the b.
b=3/5
This means that this median should hit the y-axis at (0,3/5), and it looks like it does. Therefore, the equation of this median is y=-6/5x+3/5.
Now you can find the slope of a median! Have a wonderful day! :D
328 because 82/3 multiplied by 12 is 328 and you do that because there's 12 months in a year and if you spend 82/3 hours per month playing soccer than you would multiply that by 12 which gives you 328 hours.
X=8
X=3
Sorry if it’s wrong
The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold
Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold
Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2
Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3
<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>
Therefore,
Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold
a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>
<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:
Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156
2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>
2(8 + b) + 3b = 156
16 + 2b + 3b = 156
16 + 5b = 156
5b = 156 - 16
5b = 140
<h3>b = 28</h3>
<em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 8 + 28
<h3>a = 36</h3>
Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
Answer: 9 (with a margin of: 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Times everything by 5
That gives you 15 + 10w = 105.
Subtract 15 from both sides
Divide by 10 to get w by itself
Then you solve
