Answer:

D. y+15 = 4/5(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line contains the points (8,9) and (-12, -7).

(y2 - y1) = m(x2 - x1)

(9 - (-7))= m (8 -(-12))

16 = m*20

m = 16/20 = 4/5

Given line has slope m= 4/5.

Parallel line has the same slope m = 4/5.

Point-slope equation is (y - y1) = m(x - x1).

We have slope m = 4/5, and point (-5, -15).

So,

(y - (-15)) = 4/5(x - (-5))

y+15 = 4/5(x+5)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 13cm and its width is 11/4. find its length.
enyata [817]
Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width

P = 2(l) + 2(11/4)

13 = 2l +2* \frac{11}{4}

13 = 2l + \frac{2}{1} * \frac{11}{4}

13 = 2l + \frac{22}{4}     (subtract 22/4 from each side)

13 -\frac{22}{4} = 2l

13 -\frac{11}{2} = 2l

\frac{26}{2}  -\frac{11}{2} = 2l

\frac{15}{2}} = 2l

7.5 = 2l    (divide each side by 2)

7.5 ÷ 2 = l

3.75 = l

The answer is 3.75 or 3 \frac{3}{4}

A thin sheet of ice is in the form of a circle. If the ice is melting in such a way that the area of the sheet is decreasing at
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

dx/dt  =  0,04 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle is:

A(c) =π*x²      where   x is a radius of the circle

Applying differentiation in relation to time we get:

dA(c)/dt   =  π*2*x* dx/dt    

In this equation we know:

dA(c)/dt  = 0,5 m²/sec

And are looking for dx/dt then

0,5  = 2*π*x*dx/dt    when the area of the sheet is 12 m²  (1)

When  A(c) = 12 m²      x = ??

A(c)  =  12  =  π*x²      ⇒    12  =  3.14* x²    ⇒  12/3.14  =  x²

x²  = 3,82     ⇒   x  = √3,82    ⇒  x = 1,954 m

Finally plugging ths value in equation (1)

0,5  = 6,28*1,954*dx/dt

dx/dt  =  0,5 /12.28

dx/dt  =  0,04 m/sec

Joey wants to build a rectangular garden. He plans to use a side of a river for one side of the garden, he will not place fencin
jonny [76]

We let x and y be the measures of the sides of the rectangular garden. The perimeter subtracted with the other side should be equal to 92.

<span>                                                       2x + y = 92</span>

The value of y in terms of x is equal to,

<span>                                            y = 92 – 2x</span>

The area is the product of the two sides,

<span>                                                                        A = xy</span>

Substituting,

<span>                                                            A = x (92 – 2x) = 92x – 2x2</span>

Solving for the derivative and equating to zero,

<span>                                                            0 = 92 – 4x  ; x = 23</span>

Therefore, the area of the garden is,

<span>                                                            A = 23(92 – 2(23)) = 1058 yard<span>2</span></span>

The table below shows the different times it takes Paula to drive to work each day depending on the rate at which she drives.
faust18 [17]
Speed = distance / time
30 = d / 2.5
30 * 2.5 = d
75 = d

40 = d / 1.875
40 * 1.875 = d
75 = d

50 = d / 1.5
50 * 1.5 = d
75 = d

60 = d / 1.25
60 * 1.25 = d
75 = d

24 = 75 / time
time = 75/24
time = 3.125 hours
