Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm unsure why my answer was deleted, randomly deleted a thoroughly explained answer.

20% is 20/100, 1/5, or 0.2

The number will decrease by a factor of 5.

Answer:

The answer to your question is Area = 6 u²

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

To find the area of the picture divide the figure between a square and a right triangle, determine the area of each figure and finally add them up.

1.- Calculate the area of the square

Area = side x side

        = 2 x 2

        = 4 u²

2.- Calculate the area of the triangle

Area = base x height / 2

base = 2   height = 2

Area = 2 x 2 /2

Area = 2 u₂

3.- Total area

Area = 4 + 2

       = 6 u²

Which of the following is a point-slope equation of a line that passes through the points (-1,4) and (8,-2)
dexar [7]

Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For reference, a linear function has an equation of y = mx + b

The first thing we're going to do is use the slope formula, \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} or rise over run. In this case that looks like:

(-2-4) - (8 - -1)

-2 -4 comes out to - 6, and the denominator comes out to 9.

6/9 is equal to 2/3, which is our m or slope value.

Next we want to find the b value, or our y-intercept. To do that we'll plug one of the points into the equation with our new-found slope:

4 = (2/3)-1 +b

4 = -2/3 + b

4 2/3 = b

That means our complete equation is:

y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3

OR

y = (2/3)x + 14/3 (equivalent but an improper fraction rather than a mixed fraction).

Kelsey entered the triathlon at camp Meadowlark. The total distance was 15 11/16 miles. The bike segment was 12 1/4 miles, and t
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

3/8 was the swimming segment!

Step-by-step explanation:

We only need to subtract the bike and running segment from the total distance:

15 11/16 - 12 1/4 - 3 1/16

15.6875 - 12.25 - 3.0625 = 0.375 = 3/8

3.) If y vanes inversely as x, and y = 9 when x = 4, find y when x =12
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

y= 36

Step-by-step explanation:

if y varies directly as x, and y=9 when x=4, find y when x=16

.

When you see "direct variation" think:

y = kx

.

To find k, use "y=9 when x=4":

y = kx

9 = k(4)

9/4 = k

 

.

so, our equation is:

y = (9/4)x

.

now, we can answer:

find y when x=16

y = (9/4)x

y = (9/4)(16)

y = (9)(4)

y = 36
