Answer:

1 hot dog costs $3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Hot dog with x and Hamburger with y

Gregory's purchase:

5x  + 2y = 27 --- (1)

Hart's purchase:

3x + 4y = 29.5 ---- (2)

Required

Find x

To do this, we'll make use of the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation.

Start by multiplying (1) by 2

2 * (5x  + 2y = 27)

This gives:

10x + 4y = 54 ---- (3)

Subtract (2) from (3)

10x + 4y = 54

- (3x + 4y = 29.5)

-------------------------

7x = 24.5

Solve for x

x = \frac{24.5}{7}

x = 3.5

Hence:

1 hot dog costs $3.50

30 points I'm struggling Find the equations of each line and show all of your work. (1, 5) (2, 6) (1, 1) (3, -8) (2, -3) (5, -2)
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

1.(1,5) and (2,6) , 6-5/2-1=1/1 m=1 ,y=1x+b

5=1(1)+b 4=b

y=x+4

2.(1,1) and (3,-8) -8-1/3-1=-9/2 m=-9/2 ,y=-9/2x+b

1=-9/2(1)+b b=11/2

y=-9/x+11/2

3.(2.-3) and (5,-2) m=1/3 ,y=1/3x+b

-3=1/3(2)+b -3=2/3+b

-3-2/3=b

 b=-11/3

y=1/3x-11/3

4.(2,5)and (4,3) m=-1 y=-1x+b

5=-1(2)+b 5=-2+b

5+2=b

b=7

y=-1x+7

6.(-3,-5) and (-1,-3) m=2/2=1 y=1x+b

-5=1(-3)+b -5=-3+b

-5+3=b

-2=b

y=1x-2

What is the value of x so that the line segment with endpoints W(x, −2) and X(5, −4) is parallel to the line segment with endpoi
professor190 [17]
Uhhhh I don't think that the correct answer.
First, find the gradient of the line segment.
Gradient = Rise/Run = (2-6)/(2-5) = 4/3.
Since the other line segment is parallel to this line segment, their gradients are the same.
That means (-2+4)/(x-5) = 4/3.
2/(x-5) = 4/3
It is obvious x = 6.5

Function g can be thought of as a translation (shifted) version of f(x)=x^2
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2  represents a parabola with vertex at (0, 0), that opens up.

If we translate this graph h units to the right, then g(x) will be:

g(x) = (x - h)^2.

If we translate the graph of  f(x)=x^2 k units up, then g(x) will be:

f(x)=x^2 + k

Next time, please indicate whether you are shifting the original graph to the right or to the left, and/or up or down.
