The altitude's slope must be perpendicular to that of the line.
The slope of segment BC is 2/5. The slope of the altitude must be perpendicular to 2/5. Since the negative reciprocal of 2/5 is -5/2, then the slope of the altitude is -5/2.
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of the x mangoes was ...
c = 10(x/4)
The revenue from the sale of mangoes was ...
r = 20(x-5)/5
The profit is the difference between revenue and cost:
10 = r - c = 20(x -5)/5 -10(x/4) = 1.5x -20 . . . . substitute and simplify
30 = 1.5x . . . . . add 20
20 = x . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
The trader bought 20 mangoes.
_____
<em>Check</em>
He paid 20(10/4) = 50 naira. He sold the 15 good mangoes for 20/5(15) = 60 naira, so made a 10 naira profit.
Answer:
Find the length of the hose = 5.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden is divided into two similar triangle.
The hose divided one side of the triangle to two equal parts.
Side a = 6ft
Side b = 3ft
Side c = ? (length of hose)
a² = b² + c²
6² = 3² + c²
36 = 9 + c²
27 = c²
√27 = c
5.196 = c
Answer:
f(x) = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x y
0 -3
7 11
when x = 0, y = -3. When x increases by 7, y increases by 14, or when x increases by 1, y increases by 2.
No, it is a linear function.
