Answer:

B) The slope is negative 1/2 and the y-intercept is (0, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

First we rewrite the equation so we can easily find the slope and y-intercept. We do this by isolating the y-term:

2x+4y = 12

We want to subtract 2x from each side:

2x+4y-2x = 12-2x

4y = 12-2x

4y = -2x+12

Now we divide both sides by 4 (everything on both sides gets divided!):

4y/4 = -2x/4 + 12/4

y = -2/4x + 3

y = -1/2x + 3

The slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 3 (the point (0, 3)).

Her graph shows the y-intercept at (0, 3); this part is correct.

The graph also shows we go down one and over two between points; this is a slope of -1/2, which is correct.

PROBLEM SOLVING You are participating in an orienteering competition. The diagram shows the position of a river that cuts throug

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The shortest distance is 2.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The shortest distance you must travel to reach the river is the perpendicular distance to the river

step 1

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the river

we have

$y=3x+2$

The slope of the river is m=3

Remember that if two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the river is

$m=-1/3$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-1/3$

$point(2,1)$

substitute

$y-1=-(1/3)(x-2)$

step 3

Find the intersection point of the river and the line perpendicular to the river

we have

$y=3x+2$ ------> equation A

$y-1=-(1/3)(x-2)$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The intersection point is (-0.1,1,7)

see the attached figure

step 3

Find the distance between the points (2,1) and (-0,1,1.7)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(1.7-1)^{2}+(-0.1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0.7)^{2}+(-2.1)^{2}}$

$d=2.2\ miles$

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Width $=22.955$ in

length $=28.785$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

let width $=x$

painting is $5.83$ in taller than it is wide

length $=x+5.83$

Perimeter of rectangle $=2$ (length+width)

Perimeter of painting $=103.48$

$2(x+x+5.83)=103.48\\2x+5.83=51.74\\2x+51.74-5.83\\2x=45.91\\x=\frac{45}{2} \\x=22.955$

width $=x=22.955$ in

length $=x+5.83=22.955+5.83=28.785$ n

A store receives shipments of peaches and wants to sort them by weight. Drag each shipment to match the ratio of peaches to poun

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a store receives shipments of peaches. They want to sort them by weight.

The sorting pattern is as follows:

Peaches : Pound = 2:1 or 3.25:1 or 1:3.25

Given are i) 26 peaches to 13 lbs = 26:13=2:1 Hence goes to the first box

ii) 6 peaches to 19.5 lbs =6:19,5 = 1:3,25 lb. Hence goes to II box

iii) 13 peaches to 4 lbs: =13:4=3.25:1 Hence goes to II box

iv) 39 peaches to 12 lbs: =39:12=3.25:1 Hence goes to II box

v) 15 peaches to 7.5 lbs: =15:7.5=2:1 Hence goes to I box

i - I box

ii - II box

iii - II box

iv) - II box

v) - I box
