For a point with a slope 3/4 and which passes through the points  (-2, 6) and (-8, k), the value of k is 1.5

The line passes through the points (-2, 6) and (-8, k)

That is, x_1=-2, y_1=6, x_2=-8, y_2=k

The slope of the line, m = 3/4

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given as:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute   x_1=-2, y_1=6, x_2=-8, y_2=k, m = \frac{3}{4} into the formula above

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{k-6}{-8-(-2)} \\\\\frac{3}{4} = \frac{k-6}{-8+2}\\\\\frac{3}{4} = \frac{k-6}{-6}\\\\-6(3)=4(k-6)\\\\-18=4k-24\\\\4k=-18+24\\\\4k=6\\\\k=\frac{6}{4} \\\\k=1.5

Therefore, the value of k is 1.5

Dorothy's dietary intake for one day consisted of 250 grams of carbohydrate, 60 grams of protein, and 40 grams of fat. What perc
tester [92]

Answer:

\%Percent = 17.14\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Carbohydrate = 250\ g

Protein = 60\ g

Fat = 40\ g

Required

Determine the percentage of protein

First, we need to calculate the total:

Total = Carbohydrate + Protein + Fats

Total = 250\ g + 60\ g + 40\ g

Total = 350\ g

Percentage of protein is calculated as thus:

\%Percent = \frac{Protein * 100\%}{Total}

\%Percent = \frac{60 * 100\%}{350}

\%Percent = \frac{6000\%}{350}

\%Percent = 17.14\%
