A. The ratio between the lengths of two

Mathematics
2 answers:

Answer:

14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter piece have length x.

Since the ratio is 2:3 and the longer piece is 21 feet long, we can write that as 2:3 = x:21.

Writing it as fractions, we get 2/3 = x/21 —(multiply by 21)—> x = 21*2/3 = 7*2 = 14 feet.

Thus, the shorter piece is 14 feet.

I hope this helps! :)

the shorter piece is 14ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

longer piece will be x:21

ratio of two pieces= 2:3

2:3=x:21

2/3=X/21

then cross multiply

21×2=3x

42/3=3x/3

X=14

2:3=14:21

hope it helps

5) Find the equation of the line graphed below in Slope-Intercept Form. (3 points)
bonufazy [111]

5. Slope intercept form is written as y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Using two of the points on the graph find the slope:

(0,-3) and (6,1)

Slope = change in Y over the change in X:

Slope =  (1-(-3) / (6-0) = 4/6 = 2/3

The y-intercept is the Y value when x = 0, which is -3.

The formula is y = 2/3x - 3

6. Point slope form is written as y - y1 = m(x- x1) where m is the slope, y1 and x1 are a known point on the line.

Slope = (1-0) / (1-3) = 1/-3 = -1/3

You can use either point shown for x1 and y1, so I am using the point (1,1)

The equation becomes y -1 = -1/3(x-1)

Multiply these two together in simplest from
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

\frac{3x}{5(x+2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the fractions by multiplying the numerators.

\frac{6x^2}{x(x-3)} * \frac{(x-3)}{10(x+2)} \\\\\frac{6x^2(x-3)}{10x(x-3)(x+2)} \\\\ \frac{6x}{10(x+2)} \\\\\frac{3x}{5(x+2)}
