sdas [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = 8

Write this in y = mx +b form

- 2y = -x + 8

Divide the equation by (-2)

\dfrac{-2y}{-2}=\dfrac{-x}{-2}+\dfrac{8}{-2}\\\\\\y =\dfrac{1}{2}x-4

Slope = 1/2

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1/m

                                                           =\dfrac{-1}{\dfrac{1}{2}}=1*\dfrac{-2}{1} = -2

m = -2 , ( -2 , 5)

Equation: y = mx +b

Plug in m = -2 ,x = -2 and y =5

5 = (-2)*(-2) + b

5 = 4 + b

5 - 4 = b

b = 1

Equation of the line:

y = mx +b

y = -2x + 1

Round off 0.043 to one significant figure
aniked [119]
Hey there :)

0.043
The first 0 before the decimal point is not significant since it is used for cosmetic purpose
The 0 after the decimal is not significant as the 0 is used to locate the decimal point
The 4 is the first nonzero integer and it counts as a significant figure

Therefore, 0.04 will be your answer rounded to 1 s.f

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 153 trays

Step-by-step explanation:

hotdogs =153

Hamburger = 171

Mike is to put the same number of hamburger and hotdogs in each plate.

we assume that a whole number of each food is placed in each tray.

The maximum amount of trays will be determined by the minimum food which is hotdog, so, the hotdog is the constraint.

Mike will have to use 153 trays.

1) B. Which method of finding the distance is<br><br> the best? Explain
sveticcg [70]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is the numerical measurement to find the space or interval between two objects. Distance also refers to physical length. Point x to point y  distance is denoted as |xy|

There are many ways to find out the distance, distance between two objects or two points. The efficient way of finding the distance between two points is given below. Mathematically, the distance between two points on a coordinate plane can be determined by using the distance formula, which is:

                                                 d =√((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2),

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) coordinates, and d is the distance.

The middle point between these two points is known as midpoint and can find out by using the formula

Midpoint = a + b /2.

The distance between two points number line can also be calculated by using the formula:

AB =|b –a| or |a-b|.
