Answer:

y = 1.5x + 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plot 2x + 3y = 15 on a graph. Then plot (1,3) on a graph. After that, draw a line that passes through (1,3) and forms 90 degrees angles with 2x + 3y = 15. Then find the equation of that line by finding the y-intercept (0, 1.5). Then head up to the intersection point (1.6153846153846, 3.9230769230769). Subtract 1.5 from y. (2.4230769230769) Then divide by 1.5 (1.6153846153846). Reverse the operations you just did (in reverse order) to get the equation y = 1.5x + 1.5.

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of parallelogram GHJK with vertices G (1,3) H (4,3) J (5,1) and K (2,1
Basile [38]

Answer: (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Diagonal</u> is a line connecting two opposite points of a form. In parallelograms, there two diagonals and they bisect each other, i.e., the point where the diagonals meet divide them into two segments with the same measure. In short, diagonals meet at their midpoint.

The way to determine midpoint is given by

(x,y) = {\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} },\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

(x,y) = {\frac{1+5}{2} },\frac{3+1}{2}

(x,y) = (3,2)

The coordinates where diagonals of parallelogram GHJK intersect are (3,2).

Melanie eats 1.5 pounds of cereal each week. Which model below best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats in .5 wee
Katena32 [7]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of weeks
 y: amount of cereal that Melanie eats
 We now write the function that models the problem:
 y = 1.5x&#10;
 Then, for 5 weeks we have:
 y = 1.5 (5)&#10;&#10;y = 7.5 pounds
 Answer:
 
A model that best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats is:
 
y = 1.5x&#10;
 For 5 weeks we have:
 
y = 7.5 pounds

Negative x minus 5 equals negative 11 what is x?<br> -x-5=-11
sergejj [24]
-x - 5 = -11

add 5 to both sides

-x - 5 + 5 = -11 + 5

-x = -6

x = 6
