“Just follow your heart to find the answer” -someone
Answer:
5.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you would create an equation for this problem.
=
Next, you would cross multiply.
15x = 1,800
Now, you would isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 15.
x =
120It is a 120% increase. I hope this helps!
Answers:
Horizontal Line: y = 5
Vertical Line: x = 8
=================================================
Explanation:
All horizontal lines are of the form y = k, for some constant k. We want the horizontal line to pass through (8,5), meaning every point on this horizontal line must have y coordinate 5. Therefore, y = 5 is the equation of the horizontal line. Two such points on this line are (1, 5) and (8, 5). All that matters is the y coordinate is 5. The x coordinate can be anything you want. The slope of any horizontal line is 0.
Flipping things around, all vertical lines will have the x coordinate of each point be the same value. Draw a vertical line through (8,5) and note how each point has x coordinate of 8. Two such points are (8,1) and (8,5). Therefore, the equation of the vertical line is x = 8. The y coordinate can be any value you want. The slope of any vertical line is undefined. Unlike the horizontal line, we cannot write this equation in slope intercept form (namely because the slope isn't defined).
8. D: The <em>longest sides of the quadrilaterals are 30 and 10</em>. That is a 30 : 10 ratio, which simplifies to <em>3 : 1, or </em>3/1. It's not 1 : 3 because it is the ratio between the large (comes first) to the small (comes second) figure.
9. B: <em>x corresponds to 26</em>, and from the previous problem, we figured out that <em>the sides of the larger figure are 3 times larger than the corresponding one on the smaller one</em>. So <em>x is 1/3 the length of 26</em>, which is 26/3.
