Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation: each quarter of an hour is 1.5 miles they both can go into 12 so if you multiply 2*4 and 3*4 you get 8/12 and if you multiply 3*3 and 4*3 you get 9/12 then you subtract 9/12 by 8/12 to get so 1/12=1/2 miles so you would subtract 4 1/2 by 1/2 to get 4

Slope intercept form of a line that has a slope of -3/4 and passes through (4, 3)

tia_tia [17]

<h3>Explanation</h3>

First Method

We have the given slope value and the coordinate point that the graph passes through.

$y = mx + b$

where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Substitute the value of slope in the equation.

$y = - \frac{3}{4} x + b$

We have the given coordinate point as well. After we substitute the slope, we substitute the coordinate point value in the equation.

$3 = - \frac{3}{4} (4) + b \\$

Solve the equation for b-term

$3 = - 3 + b \\ 3 + 3 = b \\ 6 = b$

The value of b is 6. We substitute the value of b in the equation.

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

Second Method

We can also use the Point-Slope form to solve the question.

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Given the y1 and x1 = the coordinate point value.

Substitute the slope and coordinate point value in the point slope form.

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

Simplify/Convert into Slope-intercept

$y = - \frac{3}{4} (x - 4) + 3 \\ y = - \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{12}{4} + 3 \\ y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 3 + 3 \\y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 6$

<h3>Answer</h3>

 $\large \boxed {y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 6}$

34 is 50% of what number?

lora16 [44]

In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.

To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:

(34 x 100) / 50

When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:

68

Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center and passes through the given point. Center (7,-2); Point= (1,-6)

vodomira [7]

Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y + 2)² = (2√13)²

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the center is at (7, -2), but must find the radius. The radius is the distance between the points (7, -2) and (1, -6):

r = √ [6² + 4²] ) = √(36 + 16) = √52 = √4√13 = 2√13.

Then the desired equation is (x - 7)² + (y + 2)² = (2√13)²
