Answer: C) the y-intercept is the starting height of the plant

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a straight line, there is a slope (2) and a y intercept (5). The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. It is the starting point for the y values. The science class starts the experiment with the plant being 5 centimeters high and since this is the starting point/height, this is also the y intercept.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

\dfrac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows right triangle with hypotenuse of 15 units and angle of 30°. This angle is opposite to the leg with length of x units.

In the right triangle, the leg opposite to the 30° angle is half of the hypotenuse, so

x=\dfrac{15}{2}\ units

Is AB parallel to Bo? Explain.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

AB parallel to CD because both lines have a slope of

of 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, there is no graph.

A graph for the question is attached below.

From the image attached below, line 1 passes through points A = (-3, -3) and point B = (0, 1) while line 2 passes through point C = (0, -5) and point D = (3, -1).

Two parallel are said to be parallel if the have the same slope. The slope of a line passing through points:

(x_1,y_1)\ asnd\ (x_2,y_2).\ The\ slope \ is\ given\ as:\\\\Slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Line 1 passes through points A = (-3, -3) and point B = (0, 1), the slope of line 1 is:

Slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1-(-3)}{0-(-3)}=\frac{1+3}{0+3}=\frac{4}{3}

Line 2 passes through point C = (0, -5) and point D = (3, -1). the slope of line 2 is:

Slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-1-(-5)}{3-0}=\frac{-1+5}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

Therefore AB parallel to CD because both lines have a slope of

of 4/3

Jerry makes $40,000 a year working at a nearby factory. He gets two weeks paid vacation per year, plus five other paid holidays.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Vacation pays are not included in salaries. Therefore, Jerry's calculation is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is :

Jerry makes $40,000 a year working at a nearby factory.

He gets two weeks paid vacation per year, plus five other paid holidays.

So total paid holidays become = 14+5=19 days

Subtracting 19 from 365 days and assuming that Jerry works for 365 days a year.

We get = 365-19=346 days

So, his per day salary will be = \frac{40000}{346}= 115.60

Vacation pays are not included in salaries. Therefore, Jerry's calculation is wrong.
