Answer
Find out how many months will it take for Jeff to weigh the same as Darius .
To prove
As given
Jeff and Darius are trying to gain weight for the football team.
Jeff weighs 120 pounds and is gaining ten pounds per month.
Darius weighs 150 pounds and is gaining 4 pounds per month.
m = represented the number of months will taken by the Jeff to weigh the same as Darius .
Than the equation become in the form
120 + 10m = 150 +4m
150 - 120 = 10m - 4m
30 = 6m
m = 5 months
Therefore in 5 months will it take for Jeff to weigh the same as Darius.
You basically would just divide, $24.18 by 3 . since they split the cost.
Answer:
y=-
x+
Step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(2-(-4))/(-2-1)
=6/-3
=-2
in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b
use the point (1, -4) to find b
-4=(2)(1)+b
-4=2+b
b=-6
the first equation of the line is y=2x-6
to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y
0=2x-6
2x=6
x=3
the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2
for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b
y=mx+b
0=(-1/2)(3)+b
b=3/2
thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-x+3/2
perimeter =QR+RS+ST+TU+UQ =26.1
RQ = 5.39
RS = 4.47
ST = 3.61
TU = 4.12
UQ = 8.54
