the point (-2,6) is on a line with a slope of 3/4. If the point -8,k) is also on the same line what is the value of k

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

A suitcase measures 24 inches long and the dialogue is 30 inches long. How much material is needed to cover one side of the suit
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

432 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the suitcase is a rectangle. One length is 24 inches. The diagonal of the rectangle is 30 inches long. The diagonal is a hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length is a leg. We need to find the other leg.

We use the Pythagorean theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(24 in.)^2 + b^2 = (30 in.)^2

576 in.^2 + b^2 = 900 in.^2

b^2 = 324 in.^2

b = sqrt(324 in^2)

b = 18 in

area of rectangle = length * width

A = 24 in. * 18 in.

A = 432 in.^2

: A theater sells tickets for a concert. Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The thea
BARSIC [14]

Answer: 321 adult tickets and 227 children tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.

The total number of tickets that the theatre sold is 548. This means that

x + y = 548

Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The total ticket sales was $2881. This means that

6.5x + 3.5y = 2881 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 548 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6.5(548 - y) + 3.5y = 2881

3562 - 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881

- 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881 - 3562

- 3y = - 681

y = - 681/ -3

y = 227

x = 548 - y = 548 - 227

x = 321
