Answer:

slope = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1/x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=5, x2=8, y2=−4.

Plug the given values into the formula for slope: m= (-4)-(5)/ (8)-(2) = -9/6 = -3/2

the slope of the line is m = -3/2

there are 800 seats in the varsity theater. during regular preformances, all seats cost $12 each. It costs the owner $275 to pay

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answers are the following:

A) P=12n-275

B) 124

C) Decrease by $100

Step-by-step explanation:

A) P=12n-275  - Each person (n) pays $12, then the cost/expense ($275) is subtracted from the income to get the profit.

B) 1,213=12n-275 - Plug in the value for P ($1,213).

1,488=12n - Add $275 to both sides.

124=n - Divide both sides by $12.

n=124  - This the number (n) of people that attended.

C) P=12n-375 - Change the value for expense to $375.

P=12(124)-375 - Plug in the value for n (124).

P=1488-375 - Simplify and find the difference.

P=1,113 - This is your profit.

1,113-1,213=-100  - $100 reduction/decrease of profit (or -$100 to profit)

Hope this helps!

A manager in a call center needs to determine how many agents to schedule next week.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Number of calls expected in next week by manager = 7940

Average Number of calls that call center agent will attend in an hour =7 calls

It is also given that, Call center remain open for 10 hours 5 days a week.

Also, it is given that, full time agents work 40 hours a week but are only on call for 35 hours per week ,Part time agents work 20 hours a week but are only on calls 17 hours per week .

⇒Number of hours worked by full time agents × Number of calls attended in an hour × Number of full time agents + Number of hours worked by Part time agents × Number of calls attended in an hour × Number of Part time agents ≤ 7940

⇒35 × 7×Number of full time agents +17 × 7 ×Number of Part time agents ≤ 7940

Option A

⇒35×15×7+17×7×15

= 3675+1785

= 5460

Option B

⇒35 ×7×20+17×7×7

=4900 +833

= 5733

Option C

⇒35×20×7 +17×20×7

=4900+2380

=7280

Option D

⇒25 × 35×7+17×7×5

=6125 +595

=6720

Option E

⇒28×35×7+17×7×10

=6860+1190

=8050

Option E, ⇒ 28 full time agents and 10 part time agents , is best to meet the scheduling needs is most appropriate, that is nearer to 7940 calls.

Please help me! I need help with this question.

The congruent statement and the reason why the triangles are congruent is (b) ΔUVZ ≅ ΔVYX, SSS

<h3>How to determine the congruent statement and the reason?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Triangles = UVZ and VYX

There are several theorems that make any two triangles to be congruent

One of these theorems is the SSS congruent theorem

The SSS congruent theorem implies that the corresponding sides of the triangles in question are congruent

From the question, we can see that the following corresponding sides on the triangles UVZ and VYX have the same mark

UV and VY

UZ and VX

VZ and YX

This implies that these sides are congruent sides

Hence, the congruent statement on the congruency of the triangles is (b) ΔUVZ ≅ ΔVYX and the reason is by SSS
