(\stackrel{x_1}{-7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-21}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-21}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{(-7)}}}\implies \cfrac{-26}{6+7}\implies \cfrac{-26}{13}\implies -2

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-7)}) \\\\\\ y-5=-2(x+7)\implies y-5=-2x-14\implies y=-2x-9

A coin collector has $45 in just dimes and quarters in a piggy bank he counted all the coins and there are 240 total how many ea
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The number of <u>dimes are 100</u> and number of <u>quarters are 140.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes be 'd' and quarters be 'q'.

Given:

The sum of amount is $45.

The total number of coins are 240.

1 dime = $0.10

∴ 'd' dimes = \$0.10d

1 quarter = $0.25

∴ 'q' quarters = \$0.25q

Now, as per question:

d+m=240-----1\\0.1d+0.25q=45---2

Multiplying equation (1) by -0.1 and adding the result to equation (2), we get:

-0.1d-0.1q=240\times -0.1\\-0.1d-0.1q=-24\\0.1d+0.25q=45\\-----------\\0.15q=21\\q=\frac{21}{0.15}=140\\\\d=240-q=240-140=100

Therefore, the number of dimes are 100 and number of quarters are 140.

You row a canoe x miles per hour down a river for 20 minutes. On the return trip, you travel 1 mile per hour slower. The return
ozzi

Answer:

Total Distance = 2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

First Leg:

Rate = x mph

Time = 20/60 = 1/3 hour

Hence, D = RT, Distance = x * 1/3 = x/3 miles

Second Leg:

Rate = x - 1

Time = 30/60 = 1/2 hour

Distance = (x - 1) * 1/2 = (x-1)/2

Total distance is the sum of both the legs, hence,

Total distance = \frac{x}{3}+\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{2x+3(x-1)}{6}=\frac{2x+3x-3}{6}=\frac{5x-3}{6} miles

Since both the distance are equal we can equate and solve:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x-1}{2}\\2x=3x-3\\x=3

Plugging this x = 3 into the total distance expression, we get:

\frac{5x-3}{6}\\\frac{5(3)-3}{6}\\=2

Total distance, 2 miles

A 4​-ft vertical post casts a 12​-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 118​-ft shadow. How tall is the c
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

height of vertical post = 6ft

its shadow = 20 in

For all shadows cast at the same time, the ratio of the height of a shadow-casting structure to the length of its shadow is the same. (Assuming, of course, that it's the sun casting the shadows.)

So the ratio is  

4 feet / 12 inches = 4 feet / 1 foot = 4/1 = 4,

and if h is the height of the cell tower,

h/122 feet = 4

h = 4 x 122 feet = 488 feet. <---------------- Final answer

Hope I helped,
