Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Step 1</h3>
  • 2/12 = 5/28
  • 2*28 = 12*5
  • 56 = 60

False equation

<h3>Step 2</h3>
  • No, because the cross products are not equal.
  • The proportion is not true, because 2/12 and 5/28 are not equivalent ratios.

<h3>Solution (1):</h3>

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Given proportion: 2:12 = 5:28

Step-by step calculations:

<u>Simplify the LHS:</u>

  • 2:12 = 5:28
  • => 1:6 = 5:28

Remember:<em> (a:b = c:d) = (a x d = b x c)</em>

<u>Use cross multiplication:</u>

  • => 1:6 = 5:28
  • => 28 = 30 (False)
<h3>Solution (2):</h3>
  • No, because the cross products are not equivalent.
  • The proportion is not true, because 2/12 and 5/28 are not equivalent ratios.

Triangle TAG is graphed as shown
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The transformation is (x,y) to (x-2,y-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we note the coordinates of the point G

The coordinates of the point G is (2,6)

To bring this to the origin, we are looking at bringing it to the point (0,0)

To do this, we subtract 2 from the x-value and 6 from the y value

So what we have is that;

(x-2) and (y-6)

(x-2, y-6)

X + ky = 1
Marina CMI [18]
X + k y = 1
k x + y = 1  / * ( - k )
----------------
      x + k y = 1
- k² x - k y = - k
--------------------
x - k² x = 1 - k
x ( 1 - k² ) = 1 - k
x = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k² ) = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k ) ( 1 + k )
y = 1 - k( 1 - k )/( 1 - k² )
y = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k² ) = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k ) ( 1 + k )
a ) For  k = - 1 this system has no solution.
b ) For k ≠ - 1 and k ≠ 1, the system has unique solution:
( x , y ) = ( 1/ (1 + k) ,  1/( 1 + k ) ).
c ) For k = 1, there are infinitely many solutions.

Find the acute angle between the two given lines<br><br> y=-2x and y=x
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

θ ≈ 71.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two lines with slopes m₁ and m₂ is:

tan θ = | (m₂ − m₁) / (1 + m₁m₂) |

Here, m₁ = -2 and m₂ = 1.

tan θ = | (1 − (-2)) / (1 + (-2)(1)) |

tan θ = | 3 / -1 |

tan θ = 3

θ ≈ 71.6°
