Answer: the slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is basically rise over run. Looking at the graph you see it rises one unit and then goes over to the left by one unit. 1÷1 equals 1 so That is your slope.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=3(5280)/(2(380+250))

L=15840/1260

L=12.57

So to walk three miles one must walk around the garden 12.57 times.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 and 6 are the same, so I will do one of those and you can use the example to do the other one.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. If we have 2 points and nothing else, we can use those 2 points in the slope formula to find the slope (the m value in the equation) and then plug that in with either one of the points to get the equation. The slope formula is:

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Using our points in question 5: (2, 4) (5, 4)

$m=\frac{4-4}{5-2} =\frac{0}{3}=0$ So m = 0. Now pick a point and use it in the equation along with the m value to solve for b. I will use (2, 4):

4 = 0(2)+b and

4 = 0 + b so

b = 4.

Now we have m = 0 and b = 4 so we fill in the equation with that info:

y = 0x + 4 or simplifying,

y = 4

For question 7 they want the line parallel to y = 3x + 6 that goes through (-10, 2.5). For a line to be parallel to another line, their slopes have to be identical. The slope in y = 3x + 6 is 3. So the slope of the "new" line is going to be 3 as well. Now we will use that slope and the given point to solve for b, just like in #5:

2.5 = 3(-10) + b and

2.5 = -30 + b so

b = 32.5

Now we will fill in:

y = 3x + 32.5

For question 8 they want the line perpendicular to y = -4x - 2 that goes through (-16, -11). For a line to be perpendicular to another line, their slopes have to be opposite reciprocals. Opposite meaning the sign is opposite (positive becomes negative and negative becomes positive), and reciprocal meaning the fraction is flipped upside down. The slope in our line is -4. That means that the perpendicular slope is positive 1/4. Using that along with our point, we will again solve for b:

$-11=\frac{1}{4}(-16)+b$ which simplifies to

-11 = -4 + b so

b = -7

Now we fill in:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-7$

For question 8, in order to find the line parallel to the given line, you need to know the slope. In the form it is currently in, we do not know the slope. We need to put it into slope-intercept form to find the slope, then we will proceeed as above. If

x + 4y = 6, then

4y = -x + 6 and, dividing by 4,

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3}{2}$

(The 3/2 is reduced from 6/4)

Now we can see the slope is -1/4. We use that along with the point (-8, 5) to solve for b:

$5=(-\frac{1}{4})(-8)+b$ which simplifies to

5 = 2 + b so

b = 3

Now we fill in, keeping in mind that lines are parallel when they have the exact same slope:

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3$

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 269ml of sucrose and 47ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of

leonid [27]

Answer:

1000 : 269 : 47

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a way of comparing the value or amount of one quantity to another.

We are to find the ration of water to sucrose to saline solution, hence, it must remain in that order.

Water : Sucrose : Saline solution

The amount of water is 1 litre (1 * 1000 ml = 1000 ml)

The amount of sucrose is 269 ml

The amount of saline solution is 47 ml

Therefore, the ratio of water to sucrose to saline solution is:

W : S : SS = 1000 : 269 : 47

Since 1000, 269 and 47 have no common factors, that is the simplest form of the ratio.
