Mathematics

DiKsa [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x- intercept = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - \frac{1}{2} and c = - 2 , then

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 2 ← equation of line

To find the x- intercept let y = 0

0 = - \frac{1}{2} x - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

2 = - \frac{1}{2} x ( multiply both sides by - 2 to clear the fraction )

- 4 = x

The x- intercept is - 4

Todd is putting new oak baseboard trim in his living room. He has one piece that is 12 1/2 ft long and another that is 8 2/3 ft
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

21 1/6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the lengths together

12 1/2 + 8 2/3

Get a common denominator of 6

12 1/2 *3/3  + 8 2/3 *2/2

12 3/6 + 8 4/6

20 7/6

20 +6/6+1/6

21 1/6

Which lines are parallel? Why?
Shtirlitz [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C) c || d by converse of corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Only corresponding angles where transversal b crosses lines c and d are shown. All answer choices involving a||b or interior angles can be eliminated from consideration.

The "corresponding angle" theorem tells you corresponding angles are congruent if the lines are parallel.

The converse of that theorem tells you the lines are parallel if the corresponding angles are congruent. Here, the angles are shown congruent, so the "converse" theorem applies.
