Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life is the amount of time it takes a substance to decay to half of its original amount.

Since the radioactive substance has a half life of 1000 years, there will be half of it left after 1000 years.

So, the fraction that will be left after 1000 years is $\frac{1}{2}$

Determine the slope and y -intercept for each line shown. Then write the equation of the line (will give Brainliest)

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+2$

m= $\frac{1}{4}$

b= 2

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+1$

m= $-\frac{1}{3}$

b= 1

$y=3x+4$

m= 3

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,2) therefore its y-intercept is b=2.

The line rises up 1 unit on the y-axis for every 4 units on the x-axis therefore the line has a slope of m=1/4.

Considering the equation of a line (y=mx+b), we plug in the variables we have found into the formula to find that $y=\frac{1}{4}x+2$

2. The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,1) therefore its y-intercept is b=1.

The line down up 1 unit on the y-axis for every 3 units on the x-axis therefore the line has a slope of m= -1/3.

Considering the equation of a line (y=mx+b), we plug in the variables we have found into the formula to find that $y=-\frac{1}{3}x+1$

3. The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,4) therefore its y-intercept is b=4.

The line rises up 3 units on the y-axis for every 1 unit on the x-axis therefore the line has a slope of m=3.

Considering the equation of a line (y=mx+b), we plug in the variables we have found into the formula to find that $y=3x+4$

An equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment with end points (3,0) and (-3,0) is

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

$x = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-3,0)$

Required

The equation of the perpendicular bisector.

First, calculate the midpoint of the given endpoints

$(x,y) = 0.5(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(3-3, 0+ 0)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(0, 0)$

Open bracket

$(x,y) = (0.5*0, 0.5*0)$

$(x,y) = (0, 0)$

Next, determine the slope of the given endpoints.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{0 - 0}{-3- 3}$

$m = \frac{0}{-6}$

$m = 0$

Next, calculate the slope of the perpendicular bisector.

When two lines are perpendicular, the relationship between them is:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}$

In this case:

$m = m_1 = 0$

So:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{0}$

$m_2 = unde\ fined$

Since the slope is $unde\ fined$ , the equation is:

$x = a$

Where:

$(x,y) = (a,b)$

Recall that:

$(x,y) = (0, 0)$

So:

$a = 0$

Hence, the equation is:

$x = 0$

When Judy worked 4 hours and Ben worked 1 hour, their combined pay was $75. When Judy worked 2 hours and Ben worked 6 hours, the

arsen [322]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

let the hourly rate of pay for Ben = B

let the hourly rate of pay for Judy = J

Judy worked 4 hours and Ben worked 1 hour, their combined pay was $75;

4J + B = 75 ----- i

Judy worked 2 hours and Ben worked 6 hours, their combined pay was $120

2J + 6B = 120 --- ii

Now, we should solve the expression;

Multiply equation ii by 2 and equation i by 1;

4J + B = 75 ----- i x 1 ; 4J + B = 75 -- iii

2J + 6B = 120 --- ii x 2 ; 4J + 12B = 240 ---iv

Now,

equation iv - iii;

11B = 165

B = $15

So, solving for J;

4J + B = 75

4J + 15 = 75

4J = 75 - 15 = 60

J = $15
