What is the value of x?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle with angles of 30-60-90 will always have sides that measure in the following proportions:
The side opposite the 30* angle = a
The side opposite the 60* angle =
The side opposite the 90* angle = 2a
(I used "a" here because your question uses "x" and I don't want to confuse things, but usually people use "x" rather than "a")
They gave us that the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90* angle) is 10, from there we can figure out the other sides:
Since the side opposite 90* is 2a, and 2a = 10, divide 10 by 2 and you get a = 5.
Once we know what "a" is, we can fill in the rest:
30* = 5
60* =
90* = 10

<em>y=-6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
A direct proportion is a relation between variables where their ratio is a constant value. This means that if y and x are proportional, then:
y = kx
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
Substituting x=-3 y=9:
9 = k(-3)
Now the relationship is:
y = -3x
For x=2
y = -3(2) = -6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We find slope by; change in y ÷ change in x,
Change in y = -4 - 3 = -7
Change in x = 7 - - 2 = 9
Slope of line MN = -7 ÷ 9 =
Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for the decrease in money per desk purchased. Because the x-axis is the number of desks purchased, what we have to find is the (opposite) of the slope. The formula to represent slope can be written as:
We can substitute the points given, (2, 480) and (5, 150) and simplify:
We would multiply by -1 because we are asking for the decrease, and negative increase is decrease. -1 * -110, gives us $110
