Answer:

Dan = 68

bobbi = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Bobbi's height = b

Let Dan's height = d

the following equations can be determined from the question

b + d = 130  eqn 1

3b - d = 118  eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 3

3b + 3d = 390  eqn 3

Substract eqn 2 from 3. this gives

4d = 272

d = 68

Substitute for d in eqn 1

b + 68 = 130

b = 62

1. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
ElenaW [278]

Answer: y + 2 = \frac{-1}{2} ( x - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point - slope form is given as ;

y - y_{1} = m (x -  x_{1})

x_{1} = 4

y_{1} = -2

m = \frac{-1}{2}

Substitute the values into the equation , we have

y - (-2) = \frac{-1}{2}( x - 4 )

y + 2 = \frac{-1}{2} ( x - 4 )

Which could be written as :

y + 2 = y + 2 = \frac{-1}{2} x + 2

The sets of numbers 3, 4, 5 and 8, 15, 17 are Pythagorean triples. Use what you know about the Pythagorean Theorem and explain o
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

When we have 3 numbers, like:

a, b and c.

Such that:

a < b < c.

These numbers are a Pythagorean triplet if the sum of the squares of the two smaller numbers, is equal to the square of the larger number:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

This is equivalent to the Pythagorean Theorem, where the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.

Now that we know this, we can check if the given sets are Pythagorean triples.

1)  3, 4, 5

Here we must have that:

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

solving the left side we get:

3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25

and the right side:

5^2 = 25

Then we have the same in both sides, this means that these are Pythagorean triples.

2) 8, 15, 17

We must have that:

8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

Solving the left side we have:

8^2 + 15^2 = 64 + 225 = 289

And in the right side we have:

17^2 = 17*17 = 289

So again, we have the same result in both sides, which means that these numbers are Pythagorean triples
