Answer:

The value of x is 4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangles MOP and MNQ are similar.

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{MQ}{MP}=\frac{MN}{MO}

\frac{MQ}{MQ+QP}=\frac{MN}{MN+NO}

It is given that MQ=4, QP=x, MN=6, NO=2. Put this value in the above equation.

\frac{4}{4+x}=\frac{6}{6+2}

\frac{4}{4+x}=\frac{6}{8}

4\times 8=6(4+x)

32=24+6x

32-24=6x

8=6x

Divide both sides by 6.

\frac{8}{6}=x

\frac{4}{3}=x

Therefore the value of x is 4/3.

Aight so if you add the angel mn and no you get eight so that must mean the opposite side must also equal eight, in that case 8-4 is 4, so Qp is 4

Answer:

The probability that a student taking only math will get picked is approximately 29%

Step-by-step explanation: This is because out of the total number of students taking math (95), 52 of such students are also taking science. In order to get the number of students only taking math you have to do 95-52=43 and to put that against the amount of total students the ratio would be 43:147 or 42/147 and if you plug 42/147 into a calculator you will recieve a long decimal that you can then round to 29%.

In your own words, explain to me what is absolute value? Make sure to talk about the definition of it, how you find it, and how
Tom [10]

Answer:

It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.

This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.

Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.

The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.

Please help me graph and find the slope. I need an answer ASAP will mark brainliest!
Xelga [282]

Answer:

y = 0.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

m = (1.2 - 0)/(2 - 0)

m = 1.2/2

m = 0.6

y = 0.6x

Step 2: Find y-intercept <em>b</em>

(0, 0) is y-int

Equation is y = 0.6x

Step 3: Graph

Use point (-5, -3) and (0, 0) to graph
