Answer:

∴Third side = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔCAB, the measure of segment AB is 8 units and the measure of segment AC is 5 units.

The sum of two sides of a triangle always grater than third side.

Therefore,

(5+8)=13 units

third side<13

∴Third side = 12 units

Graph the line that represents a proportional relationship between Y And x where the unit rate of change of y with their respect

aksik [14]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{8}x$

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Remember that

The unit rate of change is the same as the slope

In this problem

$m=\frac{3}{8}$

The linear equation is equal to

$y=\frac{3}{8}x$

To graph the line we need two points

we have (0,0) because the line passes through the origin

Determine other point

assume a value of x and calculate the value of y

For x=8

$y=\frac{3}{8}(8)=3$

The other point is (8,3)

Plot the points and join them to draw the line

Three erasers and five pencils cost $7.55. 6 erasers and 12 pencils cost $17.40. How much does 1 eraser cost? How much does 1 pe

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

erasers=e

pencils=p

3e+5p=7.55 ...(1)

6e+12p=17.40

divide by 2

3e+6p=8.70 ...(2)

(2)-(1) gives

p=8.70-7.55=1.15

from (1)

3e+5(1.15)=7.55

3e+5.75=7.55

3e=7.55-5.75

3e=1.80

e=1.80/3=0.60

cost of 1 eraser=$0.60

cost of 1 pencil =$1.15
