Answer:

HCF is the highest common factor and LCF is the lowest common factor

The highest common factor is found by multiplying all the factors which appear in both lists: So the HCF of 60 and 72 is 2 × 2 × 3 which is 12.

The LCF is the lowest factor (Other than 1) out of 2 or more. For example, the LCF of 1000 and 100 would be 2 since it is the lowest factor that they both have!

Hope I helped :)

Work out m and c for the line: 3 y + 6 x = − 3

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

m is -2 and c is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let's first phrase out the general equation of a line

${ \rm{y = mx + c}}$

m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

[ remember that a general line equation must be in slope - intercept form as shown above ]

• from our question, we are given the equation;

${ \rm{3y + 6x = - 3}}$

• let's make y the subject in order to make the equation in slope - intercept format.

→ remember to apply "subject making knowledge"

${ \rm{3y = - 3 - 6x}} \\ \\ { \rm{3y = - 6x - 3}} \\ \\ { \rm{ \frac{3y}{3} = \frac{ - 6x}{3} - \frac{3}{3} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y = - 2x - 1}}}$

• The above boxed equation is now a general equation. Let's extract out slope, m and y-intercept, c

${ \rm{m \: \dashrightarrow \: - 2}} \\ \\ { \rm{c \: \dashrightarrow \: - 1}}$

Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk

agasfer [191]

Answer:

y = (-mi/h)x + b

y = total distance left to cover

-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground

b = the total distance to cover from start to finish

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with mx being the slope and b being the y intercept

y = mx + b

all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by x represented as m...

y = (-mi/h)x + b

note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD

b would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with

if 3 buckets containing 2kg of paint has been used to paint a fence 90 m long and 80 cm high. how many buckets of 2kg of paint a

Anit [1.1K]

3 buckets covers 90m x 80cm = 3 buckets for 90x0.8 = 3 for 72

x buckets covers 200m x 120cm = x buckets for 200x1.2 = x for 240

3/72 = x/240
720 = 72x
x =10 buckets of paint to cover 200mx120cm fence
