To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.
m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3
b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.
Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0
So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
1. Side CD and side DG meet at endpoint D to form <4. Therefore, the sides of <4 are:
Side CD and side DG.
2. Vertex of <2 is the endpoint at which two sides meet to form <2.
Vertex of <2 is D.
3. Another name for <3 is <EDG
4. <5 is less than 90°. Therefore, <5 can be classified as an acute angle.
5. <CDE is less than 180° but greater than 90°. Therefore, <CDE is classified as an obtuse angle.
6. m<5 = 42°
m<1 = 117°
m<CDF = ?
m<5 + m<1 = m<CDF (angle addition postulate)
42° + 117° = m<CDF (Substitution)
159° = m<CDF
m<CDF = 159°
7. m<3 = 73°
m<FDE = ?
m<FDG = right angle = 90°
m<3 + m<FDE = m<FDG (Angle addition postulate)
73° + m<FDE = 90° (Substitution)
73° + m<FDE - 73° = 90° - 73°
m<FDE = 17°
Answer:
$2000
Step-by-step explanation:
For each pound, the charge is $40. There are 50 such charges. The point of multiplication is to simplify the process of repeated addition.
... 50 × $40 = $2000
Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
Let SUV be a triangle
Perimeter of SUV = SU+SV + UV
102 = 38 + 26 + UV
102 = 64 + UV
UV = 102 - 64
UV = 38
Hence the length of UV is 38
Answer:
20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the cape is trapezoid shaped and has an area of 600 in², the area of a trapezoid is given by
A =1/2(a + b)h where a = length along the top of the cape = 24 in, b = length along the bottom of the cape = 36 in and h = height of the cape
So, h = 2A/(a + b)
= 2 × 600 in²/(24 in + 36 in)
= 1200 in²/60 in
= 20 in
So, the height of the cape is 20 inches
