Answer:

a) 20 units

b) 2 √10 units

c) 2 √17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is;

D = √(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2

a) D = √(-7-9)^2 + (-7-5)^2

D = √256 + 144

D = √400

D = 20

b) D = √(10-8)^2 + (9-2)^2

D = √(2)^2 + 6^2

D = √4 + 36)

D = √40

D = 2 √10 units

c) D = √(1 + 7)^2 + (-8+10)^2

D = √(64 + 4)

D = √68

D = 2 √17 units

A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-

seropon [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let $A(x,y) = (14,21)$ and $B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A})$ . The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:

$y-y_{A} = m\cdot (x-x_{A})$ (1)

Where:

$x_{A}$ , $y_{A}$ - Coordinates of the point A, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

In addition, the slope of the line is defined by:

$m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}}$ (2)

If we know that $x_{A} = 14$ and $y_{A} = 21$ , then the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

$x_{B} = 1.25\cdot (14)$

$x_{B} = 17.5$

$y_{B} = 0.75\cdot (21)$

$y_{B} = 15.75$

From (2):

$m = \frac{15.75-21}{17.5-14}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

By (1):

$y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Slope -8 and y intercept 7

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The equation of Line is y = - 8x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The slop of line is - 8

And The y intercept is 7

As the equation of line is y = mx + c

For y intercept , x = 0

So, With y intercept and slop ,

7 = (-8)× (0)+ c

Or, c = 7

So the equation of line is

y = mx + c

I.e y = ( - 8 ) x + 7

Hence The equation of Line is y = - 8x + 7 Answer

a father is twice as old as his son. 20 yrs ago the father was four times as old as his son. find their present ages

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

son's present age = 30

father's present age=60

Step-by-step explanation:

his son's present age = x years

his father's present age = 2x years

before 20 years his son's age=(x-20) years

before 20 years father's age=(2x-20) years4(x-20)=(2x-20)

4x-80=2x-20

4x-2x=80-20

2x=60

x=30

Some people think it is unlucky if the 13th day of a month falls on a Friday. Show that in every calendar year (non leap or leap

MakcuM [25]

We will set a variable, d, to represent the day of the week that January starts on. For instance, if it started on Monday, d + 1 would be Tuesday, d + 2 would be Wednesday, etc. up to d + 6 to represent the last day of the week (in our example, Sunday). The next week would start over at d, and the month would continue. For non-leap years:
If January starts on d, February will start 31 days later. Following our pattern above, this will put it at d + 3 (28 days would be back at d; 29 would be d+1, 30 would be d+2, and 31 is at d+3). In a non-leap year, February has 28 days, so March will start at d+3 also. April will start 31 days after that, so that puts us at d+3+3=d+6. May starts 30 days after that, so d+6+2=d+8. However, since we only have 7 days in the week, this is actually back to d+1. June starts 31 days after that, so d+1+3=d+4. July starts 30 days after that, so d+4+2=d+6. August starts 31 days after that, so d+6+3=d+9, but again, we only have 7 days in our week, so this is d+2. September starts 31 days after that, so d+2+3=d+5. October starts 30 days after that, so d+5+2=d+7, which is just d. November starts 31 days after that, so d+3. December starts 30 days after that, so d+5. Remember that each one of these expressions represents a day of the week. Going back through the list (in numerical order, and listing duplicates), we have d, d, d+1, d+2, d+3, d+3, d+3, d+4, d+5, d+5, d+6 and d+6. This means we have every day of the week covered, therefore there is a Friday the 13th at least once a year (if every day of the week can begin a month, then every day of the week can happy for any number in the month).
For leap years, every month after February would change, so we have (in the order of the months) d, d+3, d+4, d, d+2, d+5, d, d+3, d+6, d+1, d+4, and d+6. We still have every day of the week represented, so there is a Friday the 13th at least once. Additionally, none of the days of the week appear more than 3 times, so there is never a year with more than 3 Friday the 13ths.

Grant is painting a rectangular board that has a width of į foot. He has enough

andrezito [222]

Answer:

how you convert feet to square feet

length X width = square feet

if the board is 3ft long and 1 foot wide

3ft X 1ft = 3square feet

so the length is 3 feet
