Answer:

4.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Game broadcast time = 2 5/6 hours = 17/6 hours

Commercials time = 2/3 hours

2/3 hours of commercials = 17/6 of game broadcast

1 hour of commercials = x hours of game broadcast

Cross multiply ;

(2/3)x = 17/6

2x * 6 = 17 * 3

12x = 51

x = 51 / 12

x = 4.25

For every hour it shows commercials, game is broadcasted for 4.25 hours

The graph of the absolute value parent function, f(x) = |x|, is stretched horizontally by a factor of 6 to create the graph of g
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To <u>stretched</u> f(x) = |x| <u>horizontally</u> by a factor of 6, and create the graph of g(x) we have to <u>divide the value of x</u> by 6 so the <u>y values for g(x) will be lower </u>then the y values for f(x).

The points(0,2) and (4,-10) lie on the same line and the points (-5,-3) and (2,11) lie on another line. Determine by graphing wh
joja [24]
You are asked to do this problem by graphing, which would be hard to do over the Internet unless you can do your drawing on paper and share the resulting image by uploading it to Brainly.

If this were homework or a test, you'd get full credit only if you follow the directions given.

If <span>The points(0,2) and (4,-10) lie on the same line, their slope is m = (2+10)/(-4), or   m =-3.  Thus, the equation of this line is y-2 = -3x, or y = -3x + 2.

If </span><span>points (-5,-3) and (2,11) lie on another line, the slope of this line is:

m = 14/7 = 2.  Thus, the equation of the line is y-11 = 2(x-2), or y = 11+2x -4, or y = 2x + 7.

Where do the 2 lines intersect?  Set the 2 equations equal to one another and solve for x:

</span>y = -3x + 2 = y = 2x + 7.  Then 5x = 5, and x=1.

Subst. 1 for x in y = 2x + 7, we get y = 2(1) + 7 = 9.

That results in the point of intersection (2,9).

Doing this problem by graphing, on a calculator, produces a different result:  (-1,5), which matches D.

I'd suggest you find and graph both lines yourself to verify this.  If you want, see whether you can find the mistake in my calculations.

Line m passes through the points (5, 1) and (8, 6) while line n passes through the points (-4, 3) and (-1, 8). Which statement a
Anna [14]
Find the equations of the lines...

First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so

y=mx+b becomes:

y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)

1=5(5)/3+b

1=25/3+b

3/3-25/3=b

b=-22/3 so 

y1=(5x-22)/3

.... now y2...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...

y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)

8=5(-1)/3+b

8=-5/3+b

24/3+5/3=b

b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...

y2=(5x+29)/3

Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)
