Answer:

  • b/a; (b, 0); -a/b; -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Slope of Line S - (b - 0)/(0 - (-a)) = b/a

<u>Remember the clockwise rule:</u>

(-a, 0) → (0, a)

(0, b) → (b, 0)

Slope of line T - (0- a)/(b - 0) = -a/b = -a/b

The product of slopes: b/a × (-a/b) =  -1

So, finally, our answer is:

  • b/a; (b, 0); -a/b; -1

Answer:

  • b/a; (b, 0); -a/b; -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope of line s:</u>

  • (b - 0)/(0 - (-a)) = b/a

<u>Rotation 90 clockwise rule:</u>

  • (-a, 0) → (0, a)
  • (0, b) → (b, 0)

<u>The slope of line t:</u>

  • (0- a)/(b - 0) = -a/b = -a/b

<u>The product of slopes:</u>

  • b/a*(-a/b) = -1

Dominic bought a new alarm clock that was on sale for $18.75. if this price represents a 30% discount from the original price. w
fredd [130]
So here you are trying to find out what times .30 (30%) subtracted the original price will give you 18.75. Because it is 30% discount you want to use 70% (.7) so that you can find the price before not the price after.

so .7(x) = 18.75

Which you then divide and then get 26.79 dollars.

Triangle A B C is reflected across line m to form triangle A prime B prime C prime. Triangle A prime B prime C prime is rotated
Helga [31]

Answer:

  1. reflection across line m
  2. rotation about point A'

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you exactly what the transformations are.

The first transformation is reflection across line m.

The second transformation is rotation about point A'.

_____

These are both rigid transformations, so ΔABC ≅ A'B''C''.

Robert has $50 to spend on his utility bills each month. The basic monthly charge is 23.77 electricity costs 0.1117 for each kil
Lilit [14]

Answer:

<em>The maximum number of kilowatt-hours is 235</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

Robert's monthly utility budget is represented by the inequality:

0.1116x + 23.77 < 50

Where x is the number of kilowatts of electricity used.

We are required to find the maximum number of kilowatts-hours used without going over the monthly budget. Solve the above inequality:

0.1116x + 23.77 < 50

Subtracting 23.77:

0.1116x < 50 - 23.77

0.1116x < 26.23

Dividing by 0.1116:

x < 26.23/0.1116

x < 235

The maximum number of kilowatt-hours is 235

The mean gross annual incomes of certified welders are normally distributed with the mean of $20,000 and a standard deviation of
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

At the 0.10 level of significance the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean gross annual incomes of certified welders are normally distributed with the mean of $20,000 and a standard deviation of $2,000.

The ship building association wishes to find out whether their welders earn more or less than $20,000 annually.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = mean gross annual incomes of certified welders</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = $20,000    

Alternate hypothesis, H_A : \mu \neq $20,000

Here, null hypothesis states that the mean income of welders is equal to $20,000.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that the mean income of welders is not $20,000.

Also, the test statistics that would be used here is <u>One-sample z test</u> <u>statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                              T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean income

            \sigma = population standard deviation = $2,000

            n = sample size

Now, at the 0.10 level of significance the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

Two galaxies are shown. Galaxy U: Dust, gas, and stars in the shape of a pinwheel, relatively small in size. Galaxy NGC 1427A: D
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

NGC 1427A has no general shape, so it is an irregular galaxy. U has a bulge in the center and arms, so it is a spiral galaxy. They are similar in that both contain plenty of dust and gas. Both also have active star-forming sites.

Step-by-step explanation: Got it right on the test
