Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the line:

3x-6y=18

And we want to find the slope of the line parallel to this given line.

Remember that parallel lines have the same slope. So, if we can determine the slope of the given line, we have the slope of its parallel line.

To determine the slope of the given line, we simply have to isolate the <em>y</em>. So, we can first divide everything by 3. This yields:

x-2y=6

Adding 2<em>y</em> to both sides yields:

x=6+2y

And subtracting 6 from both sides yields:

x-6=2y

Finally, dividing everything by 2 gives us:

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x-3

Hence, the slope of our line is 1/2.

So, the slope of the line parallel to this line must also be 1/2.

52,908 round to the nearest hundred.
IrinaVladis [17]

The hundredth is the 3rd number after the decimal place (so the 9). Look at the number before it and if it is 5 or above then round it to the next hundredth. In this case it is only a zero so we don't change the 9 just substitute it 0's. Therefore the answer is 52,900.

If you need further help let me know, hope this helped you.

A football player is running the length of a 100 yard long football field. For the first part of the field, he runs at a rate of
notka56 [123]

Answer:

\frac{2}{5}th part of the field is covered in the second sprint.

Step-by-step explanation:

A football player is running the length of a 100 yard long football field.

Let player sprints x yards with the speed = 2 yards per second.

So time taken to cover x yards player will take time = \frac{x}{2} seconds

Now rest distance (100 - x) yards when covered with the speed of 4 yards per second, so time taken to cover this distance = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

= \frac{100-x}{4} seconds

Now total time taken by the player can be represented by the equation

\frac{x}{2}+\frac{100-x}{4}=40

Now we can solve this equation for the value of x.

\frac{2x+100-x}{4}=40

x + 100 = 40×4

x + 100 = 160

x = 160 - 100 = 60 yards

And length of the second part will be = 100 - 60 = 40 yards

Now the fraction of the field covered by the player in second sprint will be

= \frac{40}{100}

= \frac{2}{5} or 40%

Therefore, \frac{2}{5}th part of the field was covered in second sprint.

What is the value of RT or x
Anna007 [38]

Write and solve an equation of ratios:


x 9

---- = ----

16 x


Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)


Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or

x= plus or minus 12


Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
