Hi there!
For a line to be PARALLEL, it must contain the same slope.
The given line has a slope of 4, so we can use the point-slope formula to solve:
y1 = y-coordinate of given point
x1 = x-coordinate of given point
m = slope
Plug in the values:
Simplify:
Answer:
16 books are math books. 12 are science books. 44 are romance novels.
The difference of the squares method is a short-cut method that is expressed a2 - b2 = ( a + b ) *(a-b). In this case, a2 and b2 should be perfect squares in which a and b are the square roots. In this case, 100 and 49 are perfect squares, hence the answer is C.
A = 1/2(b X h)
20.025 = 1/2(8.9 X u)
20.025*2/1= 1/2 * 2/1(8.9 x u)
40.05 =8.9u
40.05/8.9 = 8.9u/8.9
u = 4.50
Check
A = 1/2(b X h)
A = 1/2(8.9 X 4.5)
A = 1/2(40.05)
A = 20.025 in²
