Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (−1, 6) and has a slope of −3.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 3, hence

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (- 1, 6 ) into the partial equation

6 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 3 = 3

y = - 3x + 3 ← equation of line

the number a is a number less than -3. what is the range of possible values of 1/a squared​

Answers

Answer:

Numbers less than 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a number [tex]a[/tex] and that it is less than -3.

That is [tex]a<-3[/tex].

What is the range of possibles for [tex]\frac{1}{a^2}[/tex]?

So if [tex]a<-3[/tex] then [tex]a^2>9[/tex].

*I knew to flip inequality here because if I square any number less than -3 it was going have a value bigger than 9.

If [tex]a^2>9[/tex], then [tex]\frac{1}{a^2}<\frac{1}{9}[/tex].

*When taking reciprocal flip the inequality.

Let's do a test:

Let's see if we pick a number less than -3 that we get a result that is less than 1/9 after we find the reciprocal of the square of the number we choose.

Let's pick -4.

-4 is less than -3

Square -4, you get 16  and 16>9.

The reciprocal of 16 is 1/16 and 1/16<1/9.

So 1/16 is a number less than 1/9.

Final answer:

The range of possible values for 1/a squared is all positive numbers greater than 0.

Explanation:

The range of possible values of 1/a squared can be determined by considering the range of values for a. Since a is a number less than -3, it means that a is a negative number less than -3. To find the range of possible values for 1/a squared, we need to consider the range of possible values for a squared. Since a squared is the square of a negative number, it will always be positive. Therefore, the range of possible values for 1/a squared is all positive numbers greater than 0.

Which is the graph of the equation y-1=2/3(x-3)?
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

Answers

Answer:

Graph #1

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare your

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

y - k = m(x - h).  We see that k = 1 and h = 3.

Thus, (1, 3) is a point on the graph.  This matches Graph #1.  

Note: Graph #1 and Graph #3 appear to be the same.  Why?

Answer:

The graph of the equation is:

                          Graph 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given by:

    [tex]y-1=\dfrac{2}{3}\times (x-3)[/tex]

Now, we will see the point through which the graph passes through.

when x=3 we have:

[tex]y-1=\dfrac{2}{3}\times (3-3)\\\\i.e.\\\\y-1=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 0\\\\i.e.\\\\y-1=0\\\\i.e.\\\\y=1[/tex]

i.e. the graph passes through (3,1)

and also when x= -3 we have:

[tex]y-1=\dfrac{2}{3}\times (-3-3)\\\\i.e.\\\\y-1=\dfrac{2}{3}\times -6\\\\i.e.\\\\y-1=2\times -2\\\\i.e.\\\\y-1=-4\\\\i.e.\\\\y=-4+1\\\\i.e.\\\\y=-3[/tex]

i.e. the graph passes through (-3,-3)

The graph which satisfies these two points is: Graph 1

There are 6 students participating in a poetry contest, in how many ways can the students who go first and second in the bee be chosen?

Answers

Answer:

There are are 30 possible ways for the 6 students to be ranked 1st and 2nd

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 students, and any of them could receive first place. Therefore, there are 6 possibilities for first place.

A student cannot receive first and second place, so the student who won first place cannot also win second place. Therefore, there are only 5 students who could win second place.

We can multiply these two possibilities to find the number of possible rankings of 1st and 2nd

6*5=30

There are are 30 possible ways for the 6 students to be ranked 1st and 2nd....

B) Vertical Angles Formed By Two Intersecting Segments Are Congruent

C) Adjacent Angles Formed By Two Interesting Segments Are Supplementary

D) Opposite Exterior Angles Are Congruent When Parallel Lines Are Intersected By A transversal​

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

When two intersecting lines cut each other they form four angles. these two pair of angles are called opposite angles or vertical angles. The vertical angles formed by two intersecting segments are equal.

Thus option B is correct: The vertical Angles Formed By Two Intersecting Segments Are Congruent !

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you intersect two lines, the angles opposite by the intersection vertex has the same measure. Generally, Those angles are called vertical angles.

In the figure, we have that angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles, then both have the same measure. So, the correct option is B) Vertical Angles Formed By Two Intersecting Segments Are Congruent.

Masha had 200 scoops of ice cream and Liz had 180 scoops. After they each ate an equal amount of scoops, the ratio of Masha’s scoops to Liz’s scoops was 3:2. How many scoops did each of them eat?

Answers

Answer:

Each of them eat 140 scoops.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount eaten by each of them,

Given,

The initial ice cream Masha has =  200 scoops

Final ice cream Masha has = ( 200 - x ) scoops

while the initial ice cream Liz has = 180 scoops,

Final ice cream Liz has = (180-x) scoops,

According to the question,

[tex]\frac{200-x}{180-x}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]400-2x=540-3x[/tex] ( by cross multiplication )

[tex]-2x=140-3x[/tex]       ( Subtracting 400 on both sides )

[tex]x=140[/tex]  ( adding 3x on both sides )

Hence, each of them eat 140 scoops.

Answer: 140 scoops.

what is the constant variation of k, of the direct variation, y=kx, through (5,8)

Answers

Answer:

The constant of variation is 1.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx  and x = 5 when y = 8 and k = the constant of variation.

8 = k*5

k = 8.5 = 1.6.

Answer:

8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the point given into

y=kx.

The number you get for y will be your constant of variation, also know as constant of proportionality.

(x,y)=(5,8) implies 8=k(5)

So in solving that equation we just need to divide both sides by 5 giving us:

8/5=k.

What is the prime factorization of 621?​

Answers

Answer:

The prime factors of 621 are 3*3*3*23 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime factorization is the process of finding that which prime numbers can be multiplied together to make the original number.

Find the prime factors of 621.

Start with the smallest prime number which is 2. If the number is divisible by 2 then solve further. If not then move to the next prime number.

621 is nor divisible by 2

We move towards the next prime number which is 3.

621 divided by 3 = 207

207 divided by 3 = 69

69  divided by 3 = 23

Now 23 is only divisible by 23 which is also a prime number.

Thus the prime factors of 621 are 3*3*3*23 ....

Prime factors of 621 are
3*3*3*23

Is the following graph linear, nonlinear and/or a relation?

Answers

Answer:

B. Linear function and a relation

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a straight line and by definition a linear function.

Each point on the line can be expressed as an ordered pair i.e  the coordinates (x,y), implying that there is a relation between x and y.

Answer:

B. Linear function and a relation

Step-by-step explanation:

The following terms are defined like so,

Linear: linear functions show up as straigh lines when plotted on a graph

Non-Linear: non-linear functions show up as curvy or wavvy lines when plotted on a graph

Relation: relation graphs have specific outputs for every input, meaning for every x location on the graph there is only one y point.

Based on the definitions above we can determine that the graph in the diagram is both Linear and a Relation, since it is both a straight diagonal line as well as only having one specific y coordinate for every x coordinate. So the answer would be B. Linear function and a relation.

Here, in the given diagram AC is a chord of the circle centering at O.

B is a point on the chord AC.

The radius of the circle which is perpendicular to AC & passes through B,forms right angle at point B.

Since, AC is a chord of the circle & a radius is perpendicular to AC, the the intersecting point of AC & the radius is midpoint of AC.
