Answer:

y=\frac{-7}{5}x+\frac{48}{5} is equation of BC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB and BC form a right angled triangle at point B.

i.e. BC is perpendicular to AB

Line AB contains two points (-3,-1) and (4,4)

Slope of AB =\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{4+1}{4+3} =\frac{5}{7}

Slope of BC would be -1/slope of AB since AB and BC are perpendicular

Slope of BC =\frac{-7}{5}

Also we got a point on BC as B.

Use point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)\\y-4=\frac{-7}{5}(x-4)\\y=\frac{-7}{5}x+\frac{48}{5}y-y1=m(x-x1)\\y-4=\frac{-7}{5}(x-4)\\y=\frac{-7}{5}x+\frac{48}{5}

Before ordering food for a company barbecue the president took a poll. She asked people if they would eat the ribs, hamburgers,
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The complete question is as shown in the attached figure 1

The Venn diagram is the attached figure 2

Let: R⇒ribs , H⇒hamburgers  and  C⇒corn

People would eat all three = 53

People would eat only R and H = 56 - 53 = 3

People would eat only C and H = 54 - 53 = 1

People would eat only R and C = 55 - 53 = 2

People would eat only H = 60 - (53+3+1) = 60 - 57 = 3

People would eat only R = 59 - (53+3+2) = 59 - 58 = 1

People would eat only C = 56 - (53+1+2) = 0

See Vinn diagram.

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

a. How many people did not want any of these foods?

people did not want any of these foods = 64 - (53+3+1+2+3+1) = 1

b. How many people would eat ribs but not corn?

people would eat ribs but not corn = 1+3 = 4

c. How many people would eat something as long as it was not a hamburger?

people would eat something as long as it was not a hamburger= 1+2 = 3

d. How many people would eat only corn?

people would eat only corn = 0

e. How many people would eat exactly two foods?

people would eat exactly two foods = 1 + 2 + 1

Predict: How do you think the formula for area of a triangle will relate to the formula for area of a rectangle? Do you
densk [106]

Answer:

I think is the same formula area .A triangle is half as big as the rectangle that surrounds it, which is why the area of a triangle is one-half base times height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the relation length* width. The area of a triangle is given by the relation (1/2)*base* height. Now we know that the two have the same area equal to 150 cm^2. Also, when placed on the same level the tip of the triangle touches the upper edge of the rectangle.
