The two dinosaurs probably crossed paths at estimated coordinates (- 1, 2.5).
To find where the two equations actually intersect, set them equal to each other.
- 1/2x + 3 = 2x + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides, and add 1/2x to both sides to combine like terms.
2 1/2x = - 1 --> 5/2x = - 1
Multiply by 2/5 on both sides to isolate x
x = - 1(2/5)
x = - 2/5
Now plug in to either of the two equations. I used 2x + 4
- 1/2(- 2/5) + 3 = y
1/5 + 3 = y
y = 3 1/5
The actual coordinates where the dinosaurs crossed paths was (- 2/5, 3 and 1/5).
My original estimate was (- 1, 2 1/2) because based on the graph drawn above the point of interest (the intersection) appears to be below the third unit on the y-axis as well as in between the negative two unit and origin on the x-axis. My estimate was also off because the x-axis is counting by twos which does not necessarily allow for an accurate estimate strictly based on the naked eye.
Answer:
4. A rectangle is a square
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle can be a square, but not always. A rectangle has 2 pairs of parallel sides, 2 pairs of congruent sides, and 4 right angles. Squares have 2 pairs of parallel sides, 4 congruent sides, and 4 right angles. So, the difference between the two is that adjacent sides are not necessarily congruent in rectangles, but they are in squares. This means that some rectangles can be a square. If a rectangle has all congruent sides, then it is a square. On the other hand, some rectangles do not have all congruent sides, and thus are not squares.
Answer:
B. 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8-7/24=
15/24-7/24=
8/24=
1/3
9x – 3y – 5x + 7y + x + y
9x-5x+x -3y+7y+y
x(9-5+1) +y(-3+7+1)
5x+5y
