The recycling plant processes 480 tons of glass per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of glass recycled each minute = \frac{1}{3}\ tons

We know that;

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore;

Quantity of glass recycled in one hour = \frac{1}{3}*60=20\ tons

1 day = 24 hours

Quantity of glass recycled in 24 hours = 24*20 = 480 tons

The recycling plant processes 480 tons of glass per day.

A line segment has endpoints A(4, 8) and B(2, 10). The point M is the midpoint of AB. What is an equation of a line perpendicula
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I)

The Midpoint M of the line segment AB is found using the Midpoint formula:

M=( \frac{4+2}{2} , \frac{8+10}{2})=(3, 9)

ii)

the slope of the line through A and B is found by the slope formula:

m= \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{10-8}{2-4}= \frac{2}{-2}=-1

iii)

the product of the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is -1, so the slope of the line perpendicular to the line through A and B is -1/(-1)=1

iv) 

the equation of the line with slope 1, which contains point M(3, 9) is found by the slope point form equation of a line:

y-9=1(x-3)

y-9=x-3

y=x+6


Answer: y=x+6

Is the ordered pair a solution of y ≥ 2x − 5? a. (3, 1) b. (1, −4)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

a. Yes

b. No

Step-by-step explanation:

To find if an ordered pair is a solution to the inequality, substitute its x and y values for the x and y in the inequality and solve. If the equation is true, then it is a solution. If it is not, then it is not a solution.

1) First, substitute the x and y values of (3, 1) into the inequality. So, substitute 3 for x and 1 for y:

1 \geq 2(3)-5\\1\geq 6-5\\1\geq 1

1 is greater than or equal to 1, so (3,1) is a solution.

2) Second, do the same with the point (1, -4). Substitute 1 for x and -4 for y:

-4\geq 2(1)-5\\\\-4\geq 2-5\\-4\geq -3

However, -4 is not greater than or equal to -3, thus (1, -4) is not a solution.
