Line equation is
y - y1 = m * (x - x1)
y - (-7) = (-5) * ( x - 1)
y + 7 = -5x + 5
y + 5x + 2 = 0

The slope of AB is 3 over 4 and point A is (2. 9). How many possible locations are there for point
nignag [31]

Answer:

Part 1) There are infinity locations for the point B

Part 2) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) How many possible locations are there for point  B?

we know that

The equation of a line in point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where

m=\frac{3}{4}

(x1,y1)=(2,9)

substitute

y-9=\frac{3}{4}(x-2)

Convert to slope intercept form

y-9=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{6}{4}

y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{6}{4}+9

y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{30}{4}

y=0.75x+7.5

Point B can be any point ( different from point A) that satisfies the linear equation

therefore

There are infinity locations for the point B

Part 2) Describes a method to location the point

To locate the point, one of the two coordinates must be known. The known coordinate is placed into the linear equation and the equation is solved to find the value of the missing coordinate

Example

Suppose that the x-coordinate of point B is 4

For x=4

substitute in the linear equation

y=0.75(4)+7.5=10.5

so

The coordinates of point B is (4,10.5)

At noon, the minute and the hour hands of a clock overlap. In how long will they again overlap?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Okay. At noon, the hour and minute hand overlap. First, let’s calculate the speed of the hands.

The minute hand rotates once around the clock every hour. It goes 360 degrees in 60 minutes, so it rotates 360/60 or 6 degrees per minute. The hour hand goes once around the clock every 12 hours. Because there are 60 minutes in an hour, it goes 360 degrees 12*60 or 720 minutes. This means it travels at a speed of 360/720 or 0.5 degrees per minute.

Once the clock starts, the minute hand goes ahead and rotates ahead of the hour hand. At 1:00, the minute hand is at 12, and the hour hand is ahead at 1. This is where we will start our calculations.

Now, we have a variable, m, which is the minutes that have passed since the clock started. So, our minute hand speed is 6m, and our hour hand speed is 0.5m. However, because the hour hand is at one, it is at 30 degrees. (360/12 * 1.) This means our equation is 6m = 0.5m+30.

Now, we calculate.

6m = 0.5m+30

5.5m = 30

m = 30/5.5

m = 5.45

So at 5.45 minutes, the minute hand is at the hour hand. However, because one hour has passed since we started, we have to add on one hour.

So, our final total is 1 hour 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

One fifth of the sum of two angles is 24 and half their difference is 14.Calculate the two angles
Brums [2.3K]
Let, the angles = a, b
It is given that, a+b /5 = 24
a + b = 120   --- equation (1)

a-b/2 = 14
a - b = 28  ---- equation (2)
a = 28 + b

Now, substitute this value of b in equation (1), 
28 + b + b = 120
2b = 120 - 28
b = 92/2
b = 46
Now, a = 28 + b = 28 + 46 = 74

In short, Your Angles are 74 and 46

Hope this helps!

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

scott earned higher that jules because 81% is 0.81, but the 2025 makes no sense because it does not show a total.
