<span>In two similar triangles, like the one we see above, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their sides. 

Based on the graph, we see that BD is 3 times larger than BA. This means that the area of DBE will be 3</span>² times larger, or 9 times larger, than the area of ABC.

Area of ABC = 3 square units
Area of DBE = 3 * 9 = 27 square units
Answer is A.

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line -3x + y/2 = -3 passes through the points (1, 0) and (0, -6).

First rearrange the equation

-3x + y/2 = -3

Y = 2( 3x - 3 )

Y = 6x - 6 ..... (1)

Also, the slope of points (1, 0) and (0, -6). Will be

M = ( -6 - 0 )/( 0 - 1 )

M = -6/-1

M = 6

Using general linear equation

Y = MX + C

Let Y = 0 and X = 1

0 = 6(1) + C

C = -6

Substitutes C back into the equation

Y = 6x - 6 ...... (2)

The value of b that will cause the system to have infinitely many number of solutions is 6

The margin of error can be calculated with the formula:

ME = z · √(p(1-p)/n)

where:
p = sample proportion
n = sample size
z = z-score

In your case:
p = 90 / 120 = 0.75

ME = 2.58 · √(0.75·0.25/120)
      = 0.10
      = 10%

The margin of error will be 10%.

tino4ka555 [31]

1/6 < 1/4 so 1/6 would equal 2/12 and 1/4 would equal 3/12 so which means if you take one from each it would be 5/12 but if you took 2 from the first one it would only be 2/12 which is why you need to read correctly because THE REASON MARK IS CORRECT IS BECAUSE 5/12 IS GREATER THAN 2/12

aniked [119]
This is how we solved and make the equation.
Stock A = 100
Stock B = 45

For the past months, his stocks inversely decreased.
Stock A = m cents / share
Stock B = n cents * share

So the equation is
= 100 (0.01m) + 45 (0.01n)
<span>= m + 0.45n</span>
