Answer:

slope = - \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 5 )

m = \frac{5-7}{2-(-5)} = \frac{-2}{2+5} = - \frac{2}{7}

The length of the rope needed is 15 feet

Given the following parameters;

  • Height of the pole = 9 foot
  • The distance from the <u>rope away from the base </u>of the pole is 12 feet

Required

  • Length of the rope.

To get the length of the rope, you will use the pythagoras theorem expressed as:

  • c² = a² + b²

Substituting the given parameters:

c² = 9² + 12²

c² =81 + 144

c² = 225

c = √225

c = 15 feet

Therefore the length of the rope needed is 15 feet

After the booster club sold 40 hotdogs at a football game, it had 90$ in profit. After the next game, it had sold a total of 80
sergiy2304 [10]
Let's first establish what we already know for this problem.

x = total number of hotdogs sold
y = total profit from total sales of hotdogs

Let's also establish the other equations which we will require in order to solve this problem.

Equation No. 1 -
Profit for 40 hotdogs = $90 profit

Equation No. 2 -
Profit for 80 hotdogs = $210 profit

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION

From this, we can use the formula y = mx + b & substitute the values for x & y from one of the two previous equations into the formula in order to obtain the values of m & b for the final equation. Here is an example of the working out as displayed below:

Firstly, using the first or second equation, we make either m or b the subject. Here I have used the first equation and made m the subject:

Equation No. 1 -
y = mx + b
90 = m ( 40 ) + b
40m = 90 - b
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40

Now, make b the subject in the second equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 2 -
y = mx + b
210 = m ( 80 ) + b
210 = 80m + b
b = 210 - 80m

Then, substitute m from the first equation into the second equation.

Equation No. 2 -
b = 210 - 80m
b = 210 - 80 [ ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - [ 80 ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - 2 ( 90 - b )
b = 210 - 180 - 2b
b - 2b = 30
- b = 30
b = - 30

Now, substitute b from the second equation into the first equation.

Equation No. 1 -
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
m = ( 90 - ( - 30 ) / 40
m = ( 90 + 30 ) / 40
m = 120 / 40
m = 3

Through this, we have established that:

m = 3
b = - 30

Therefore, the final equation to model the final profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x, is as follows:

y = mx + b
y = ( 3 )x + ( - 30 )

ANSWER:
y = 3x - 30

What is the volume of the sphere?
poizon [28]

Answer: 113.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is \frac{4}{3}\pir^{3}

The radius is 3, and 3 cubed is 27.

Then, 27 x \pi is about 84.82

Finally, 84.82 x \frac{4}{3} is about 113.1

Hope this helps. Please mark as brainliest, thanks!

Suppose a population has a doubling time of 25 years. By what factor will it grow in 25 years? 50 years? In 100 years?
rewona [7]

Answer:

2,4, and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population has a doubling time of 25 years, that means that in 25 years the population will double. So for 25 years, the factor will be 2. For 50 years, the factor would be 2x2, which is 4. For 100 years, it is 4x2 which is a scale factor of 8.
