Lauren spent 3/5 of her money on a refrigerator. The refrigerator cost $756. How much money did she have left?

1 answer:

3 0

Fractions are the part/whole. We can set this up to be...

3/5 = 756
756 x5/3 = 1260.

if she had 1260 to begin with and spent 756, she would have 504.00 left.

Graph the line y = kx +1 if it is known that the point M belongs to it: M(1,3)

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$M(x,y) = (1,3)$ belongs to the line $y = 2\cdot x +1$ . Please see attachment below to know the graph of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we know that a line is represented by this formula:

$y=k\cdot x + b$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$k$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that $b = 1$ , $x = 1$ and $y = 3$ , then we clear slope and solve the resulting expression:

$k = \frac{y-b}{x}$

$k = \frac{3-1}{1}$

$k = 2$

Then, we conclude that point $M(x,y) = (1,3)$ belongs to the line $y = 2\cdot x +1$ , whose graph is presented below.

Please help. I am getting in trouble so please try to be correct...

vichka [17]

Answer: The answer is A 17in2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it states that the triangles are congruent (both the same).

first I found the area of the top orange triangle.

the formula to find the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} bh$ (base times Height).

so I did $\frac{1}{2} 3.23* 5.12$ which gave me 8.27.

Since the triangles are congruent (the same) they would both have the same area along with base and height. so I multiplied 8.27 by 2 (because there are two triangles) and got 16.54 which rounds up to 17.

the question also stated to find the APPROXIMATE area (close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.)

Annie is creating a stencil for her artwork using a coordinate plane. The beginning of the left edge of the stencil falls at (2,

taurus [48]

Answer:

(A)(12, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The beginning of the left edge of the stencil falls at (2, −1).

A point, say Q on the stencil is at (4, 1).

Point Q divides the stencil into the ratio 1:4.

We are required to find the end of the stencil.

Mathematically, Point Q divides the stencil internally in the ratio 1:4.

For internal division of a line with beginning point $(x_1,y_1)$ and end point $(x_2,y_2)$ in the ratio m:n, we use the formula

$Q(x,y)=(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} ,\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} )$

$(x_1,y_1)=(2, -1)$ , $(x_2,y_2)=?$ , Q(x,y)=(4,1), m:n=1:4

Therefore:

$(4,1)=(\dfrac{1x_2+4*2}{1+4} ,\dfrac{1y_2+4*-1}{1+4} )\\(4,1)=(\dfrac{x_2+8}{5} ,\dfrac{y_2-4}{5} )\\$Therefore:\\\dfrac{x_2+8}{5}=4\\x_2+8=4X5\\x_2=20-8=12\\$Similarly\\\dfrac{y_2-4}{5}=1\\y_2-4=5\\y_2=4+5=9\\(x_2,y_2)=(12,9)$
