Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{3}{5}$ x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{3}{5}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{3}{5} }$ = - $\frac{5}{3}$

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - $\frac{5}{3}$ and (a, b ) = (- 2, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = - $\frac{5}{3}$ (x - (- 2) ) , that is

y - 5 = - $\frac{5}{3}$ (x + 2)

1. We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

let x be a number of inches, which when added to 18 inches will give 7 feet

18 inches + x inches = 7 feet

18 inches + x inches = 84 inches [1 feet = 12 inches]

x inches = 84 inches - 18 inches

x inches = 66 inches

2. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards, when added to 2000 yards will be equal to 2 miles

2000 yards + x yards = 2 miles

2000 yards + x yards = 3520 yards

x yards = 1520 yards

3. We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

Number of feet = Given number of inches / 12

Number of feet = 108 / 12

Number of feet = 9 ft.

4. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 8800 feet. will be equal to 8 miles

8800 feet + x feet = 8 miles

8800 feet + x feet = 42240 feet [1 mile = 5280 feet]

x feet = 42240 - 8800

x feet = 33440 ft.

5. We know that 12 inches = 1 feet

let x be the number of inches, when added to 37 inches, will be equal to 5 feet

37 inches + x inches = 5 feet

37 inches + x inches = 60 inches [12 inches = 1 feet]

x inches = 23 inches

6. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

So, (number of yards)*3 = (number of feet)

Number of yards = number of feet / 3

Number of yards = 73 / 3 = 24.33 yards

7. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

let x be the number of feet added to 15 feet to make 9 yards

15 feet + x feet = 9 yards

15 feet + x feet = 27 feet [1 yard = 3 feet]

x feet = 12 ft

8. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards remaining to reach 4 miles

3000 yards + x yards = 4 miles

3000 yards + x yards = 7040

x yards = 4040 yards

9. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

So, number of yards * 3 = number of feet

replacing the values:

number of yards*3 = 114

number of yards = 114/3

number of yards = 38 yards

10. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet that must be added to 9000 feet to make 3 miles

x feet + 9000 feet = 3 miles

x feet + 9000 feet = 15840 feet

x ft = 6840 ft

11. We know that 12 inches = 1 feet

let x be the number of inches that must be added to 46 inches to get a length of 9 feet

46 inches + x inches = 9 feet

46 inches + x inches = 108 inches

x inches = 108 - 46 inches

x inches = 62 inches

12. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards that must be added to 3500 yards to make 2 miles

3500 yards + x yards = 2 miles

3500 yards + x yards = 3520 yards

x = 20 yards

13. We know that 1 ft = 12 inches

So, number of feet * 12 = number of inches

number of feet = number of inches / 12

number of feet in 252 inches

Number of feet = 252/12

Number of feet = 21 ft

14. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 6500 feet, will be equal to 2 miles

x ft + 6500 ft = 2 miles

x ft + 6500 ft = 10560 ft

x ft = 4060 ft

15. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 4500 feet, will be equal to 1 mile

x ft + 4500 ft = 1 mile

x ft + 4500 ft = 5280 ft

x ft = 780 ft

Write an equation in point slope form for a line that includes the origin and (9,-3)

aivan3 [116]

So we are given two points that the line crosses, the origin and (9, -3), we can calculate the slope m of the line with these data, dividing the y segment by the x segment:
m = (-3 - 0)/(9 - 0) = -3/9
m = -1/3
then we can use the point slope line equation to find the line equation, lets use the point origin (0,0) to do so:
y - y1 = m(x - x1), where x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point that the line crosses:
y - 0 = (-1/3)(x - 0)
y = (-1/3)x
so this is the equation of the line, slope -1/3 and y intercept 0

Jay is hanging 160 feet of Christmas garland on the three sides (two on the width and one on the length) of fencing that enclose

Setler [38]

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.

Given,

The measurement of the Christmas garland = 160 feet

The width of the fencing = w

The length of the fencing, l = 4w - 8

We have to find the length and width of the fencing.

Here,

Perimeter can be taken as 160. Because garland will cover the entire fencing.

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

160 = 2(4w - 8 + w)

160 = 2(5w - 8)

160/2 = 5w - 8

80 + 8 = 5w

88/5 = w

width = 17.6 feet

Now,

l = 4w - 8

l = 4 × 17.6 - 8

l = 70.4 - 8

length = 62.4 feet

That is,

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.
