Answer: You would swap the ineqaulity

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality. This means < changes to >, and vice versa. For example, given that 5 < 8 we can multiply both sides by 6 to obtain 30 < 48 which is still true.

Let:
x = cost of senior citizen ticket
y = cost of student ticket

4x + 5y = 102
7x + 5y = 126

4x + 5y = 102
4x = 102 - 5y
x = (102 - 5y)/4
x = 102/4 - 5y/4

7x + 5y = 126
7(102/4 - 5y/4) + 5y = 126
(714/4 - 35y/4) + 5y = 126
-35y/4 + 5y = 126 - 714/4

note:
-35y/4 = -8.75y
714/4 = 178.5

-8.75y + 5y = 126 - 178.5
-3.75y = -52.5
y = -52.5/-3.75
y = 14

x = 102/4 - 5y/4
x = 102/4 - 5(14)/4
x = 8

x = cost of senior citizen ticket = $8/ea
y = cost of student ticket = $14/ea

What equation is graphed in this figure?

topjm [15]

Answer:

The third equation: $y+2=-3(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on the line are $(-1,4)$ and $(1,-2)$ .

Slope of the line passing through two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given as:

$m=(y_{2} -y_{1})/ (x_{2} -x_{1})$

Here, $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ are $(-1,4)$ and $(1,-2)$ .

Therefore, slope is equal to, $m=(-2-4 )/ (1-(-1)$

$m=-6/2$

$m=-3$

Now, equation of a straight line with slope m and points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given as:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\y-y_{2}=m(x-x_{2})$

Now, if we use the 2nd form, then $x_{2}=1,y_{2}=-2$ .

So, the equation is given as :

$y-(-2)=-3(x-1)\\y+2=-3(x-1)$

Consider the equation r = 5 sin(theta). Use the drop-down boxes to complete the sentences.

Answer:

circle
y-axis
5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to actually see the graph. For 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, a circle is developed above the x-axis, symmetrical about the y-axis (θ=π/2). For π ≤ θ ≤ 2π, the same circle is traced again in the same direction (CCW), as values of r are negative for those angles.

The circle has a radius of 2.5, centered at (0, 2.5), so the diameter is 5 units. The length of the diameter is the farthest distance between any two points on a circle.

Thank you in advance!

Makovka662 [10]

Vertex: (-2,1)

Maximum or Minimum: The graph has minimum point and gives minimum value because the minimum point gives the least y-value. That's why it is called minimum.

End of behavior:

When x approaches positive infinity, f(x) will approach positive infinity.

When x approaches negative infinity, f(x) will approach positive infinity as well.

Why no solution:

The graph doesn't intercept any x-axis. Therefore the graph doesn't have any solutions.

y-intercept: (0,5)

describe shape of the graph:

The graph decreases when x<0 and increases when x>0.

x<0 is concave up but decreasing

x>0 is concave up but increasing
