Answer:

A) For the slope;

Rate of change in profit per change in number of cars washed = 10

B) when he had not washed any car, he was in debt of of $35

C) When he made $255, he had washed 29 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept equation of a line is;

y = mx + c

you made $65 washing ten

cars. Thus, x = 10 and y = 65

So, 65 = 10m + c - - - - (eq 1)

Then after fifteen cars, you made $115.

Thus, x = 15 and y = 115

So; 115 = 15m + c - - - - (eq 2)

Subtract equation 1 from eq(2) to get;

115 - 65 = 15m - 10m + c - c

50 = 5m

m = 50/5

m = 10

Putting 10 for m in eq 1 gives;

65 = 10(10) + c

65 = 100 + c

c = 65 - 100

c = -35

A) Since the slope is m = 10 and slope is m = Δy/Δx, it means that;

Rate of change in profit per change in number of cars washed = 10

B) c = -35 is the y-intercept.

This means when x = 0, y = - 35.

It implies that when he had not washed any car, he was in debt of of $35

C) since we have the slope and intercept, equation is;

y = 10x - 35

If he has made $255,then we have;

255 = 10x - 35

255 + 35 = 10x

290 = 10x

x = 290/10

x = 29 cars washed.

615.44 to the nearest hundredth
Leya [2.2K]
When rounding, look to the next place to the right of what you are rounding to... for example if you are rounding to the nearest hundredth, look to the thousandths place to see if the hundredths place rounds up or down. Since your number, 615.44 stops on the hundredths place, the thousandths place is automatically zero, so your number stays the same.

Find the area of the figure.
ipn [44]

Answer:

89m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the rectangle (ignoring the missing triangle inside). The area of the rectangle is its base times its height, which is 8*13=104.

Next, find the area of the triangle. The area of the triangle is its base times height, divided by two.

The width of one side of the rectangle is 13, and the width of the side of the rectangle is 8 (4 + 4). Therefore, subtract 8 from 13 and the missing section in the side of the rectangle is 5. 5 is equal to the base of the triangle.

The height of the triangle is given, which is 6. As stated before, the area of a triangle is its base times height divided by two, which is 5*6/2 in this case. The area of the triangle is equal to 15.

Now, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle. 104-15=89.

1) In order to solve the equation n/6 = -11.9, you must multiply by 6.

2) -9m = -45 \\ \\ m =  \frac{-45}{-9} \\ \\ m =  \frac{45}{9} \\ \\ m = 5 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {m = 5}

3) -14 =  \frac{u}{8} \\ \\ -14 \times 8 = u \\ \\ -112 = u \\ \\ u = -112 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {u = -112}

4) -117 = -9h \\ \\  \frac{-117}{-9} = h \\ \\  \frac{117}{9} = h \\ \\ 13 = h \\ \\ h = 13 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {h = 13}

5)\frac{q}{19} = 5 \\ \\ q = 5 \times 19 \\ \\ q = 95 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {q = 95}

Will give brainliest plz help
Dominik [7]

Answer:

\frac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{9}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Center of the ellipse is, (h,k)=(-4,-3)

Minor axis length is, 2b=6

A vertex of the ellipse is at (1, -3)

Now, distance between the center and the vertex is half of the length of the major axis.

Using distance formula for (-4, -3) and (1, -3), we get:

a=\sqrt{(1+4)^2+(-3+3)^2}=5

Therefore, the value of half of major axis is, a=5. Also,

2b=6\\b=\frac{6}{2}=3

Now, equation of an ellipse with center (h,k) is given as:

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

Plug in h=-4,k=-3,a=5,b=3 and determine the equation.

\frac{(x-(-4))^2}{5^2}+\frac{(y-(-3))^2}{3^2}=1\\\\\frac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{9}=1

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse is:

\frac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{9}=1
