Find the distance between Line L and Point P if Line L contains the points

Answer:

  (b)  4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from a point to a line can be found using the formula. To use it, we need the equation of the line in general form.

We notice that the coordinates of the given points have the same y/x = 2/3 ratio. This means they lie on the line y = 2/3x. The equation for that line, written in general form is ...

  y = 2/3x

  3y = 2x

  2x -3y = 0 . . . . . . general form equation for the line through the points.

The formula for the distance from (x, y) to the line ax+by+c=0 is ...

  d = |ax +by +c|/√(a²+b²)

The distance from (x, y) to our line is given by the formula ...

  d = |2x -3y|/√(2² +(-3)²)

  d = |2x -3y|/√13

For point P(9, 11), the distance to the line is ...

  d = |2·9 -3·11|/√13 = |18 -33|/√13 = 15/√13 ≈ 4.2

At one time the price of gasoline was $1.279 a gallon. Then the price
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1.6627 (money wise, $1.66)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its 130%, you know there was already a whole increase. So first you would do 1.279 + 1.279, which would give you 2.558. Then you need to calculate 30% of 1.279 for the rest of the increase. That gives you 0.3837 Add 2.558 and 0.3837 together, which would give you 2.9417. To get the INCREASE, you would have to subtract the new total from the original price, so 2.9417 - 1.279. This would give you 1.6627.

Use the stem and leaf plot graph to answer the question.
kogti [31]
<h3>Answer:   13 days</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Count the number of leaves marked in green.

  1. Row One: 2 leaves (1 and 8)
  2. Row Two: 3 leaves (3, 6, and 9)
  3. Row Three: 5 leaves (2, 3, 4, 6, 7)
  4. Row Four: 3 leaves (1, 6, and 8)

There are 2+3+5+3 = 13 leaves total. This represents tickets were sold on 13 days.

Each stem and leaf combines to form a different ticket count. For instance, the stem of 1 and leaf of 8 combine to get the value 18. So 18 tickets were sold on that particular day.
