Answer:

<h2>28.75in</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to convert all units to inches in this problem

Step one:

given data

blue ribbon=6.25 inches

orange ribbon=0.375 foot

green ribbon=0.5 yard

Step one:

convert orange ribbon=0.375 foot to inches

1 ft = 12 in

0.375ft=xin

cross multiply

x=12*0.375

x=4.5in

orange ribbon= 4.5in

convert green ribbon yd to inches

1 yd = 36 in

0.5 yd=xin

cross multiply

x=36*0.5

x=18in

green ribbon= 36in

total lenght in inches =6.25+4.5+18

=28.75in

What is y=-4/3x +6. y=2

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The given equation is:
[/tex]y=-\frac{4}{3}x+6 [/tex] and we need to evaluate this for y=2.
So, first step is to plug in 2 for y in the above equation. Therefore,

$2=-\frac{4}{3} x+6$
$2*3=-\frac{4}{3} x*3+6*3$ Multiply each sides by common denominator 3
$6=-4x+18$
6-18= -4x Subtract 18 from each sides.
-12=-4x
$-\frac{12}{-4} =-\frac{4x}{-4}$
So, x=3

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE

maks197457 [2]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

For $x=0$ ,

$2y+3(0)=10$

$2y+0=10$

$y=\dfrac{10}{2}$

$y=5$

For $x=2$ ,

$2y+3(2)=10$

$2y+6=10$

$2y=10-6$

$2y=4$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$y=2$

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

$(x,y)\to (3x,3y)$

Using this rule, we get

$A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))$

$A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)$

Similarly,

$B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))$

$B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)$

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2(y-15)=-3x$

$2y-30=-3x$

$2y+3x=30$

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is $2y+3x=30$ .

The point P=\left(-\frac{\sqrt{33}}{7},\,\, y\right)P=(− 7 33 ,y) lies on the unit circle shown below. What is the value of

kifflom [539]

Answer:

y = √-1040/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a unit circle is expressed as;

x²+y² = 1

Given the coordinate of P = (-33/7, y)

Substitute the coordinate into the give expression and find y;

(-33/7)²+y² = 1

Expand

y² = 1-(-33/7)²

According to difference of two square

y² = (1+(-33/7))1-(-33/7))

y² = (1-33/7)(1+33/7)

y² = -26/7(40/7)

y² = -1040/49

y= √-1040/49

y = √-1040/√49

y = √-1040/7

Hence the value of y is y = √-1040/7

I am Lyosha [343]

Out of the 3 points, only ABC are collinear. Hence, only ABC can be chosen. The chances of choosing ABC out of ABCD is 1/4. Hence, the probability is 25%.
