if the slope of BC is 1/2 what is the slope of AC

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

However, I'll answer base on the following assumptions.

1. AC and BC are parallel.

2. AC and BC are perpendicular

For (1)

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

So, AC = BC = ½

For (2)

Slope of perpendicular line is:

m1 * m2 = -1

Take m1 as slope of BC

So, we have

½ * m2 = -1

Solve for m2

m2 = -1/½

m2 = -1 * 2

m2 = -2

Hence, the slope of AC is -2

A retiree has $200,000 to invest and needs to make $13,000 with her investments. If she can invest in government bonds at 6% or investment grade bonds at 8%, how much should she invest in each?

Answers

Answer:

She should invest 150,000 in government bonds and 50,000 in investment grade bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in government bonds be $y while the amount invested in investment bond be $x

Since total is $200,000

Then:

x + y = 200,000 ••••••(i)

Since 13,000 is what is expected to be earned, then this is like the interest.

thus;

6% of x + 8% of y = 13,000

6x/100 + 8y/100 = 13,000

Multiply through by 100

6x + 8y = 1300000 •••••••(ii)

From i, x = 200,000 - y

insert this into ii

6(200,000-y) + 8y = 1300000

1200000-6y + 8y = 1300000

2y = 1300000-1200000

2y = 100,000

y = 100,000/2

y = 50,000

but x + y = 200,000

thus, x = 200,000 - 50,000

x = 150,000

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, -3) and is
parallel to the line 4x - y = 12

Answers

Answer: y = 4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the second line.

4x - y = 12

-y = -4x + 12

y = 4x - 12

slope = 4

Therefore, the slope of the second line must also be 4.

Use point-slope form to write the equation.

y + 3 = 4(x + 2)

y = 4x + 5

6x + 2 = 5x + 17, would there be one unique solution? What is it?

Answers

Answer:

X = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1.- Rewrite the equation, Put like terms on the same side

6x - 5x = 2 - 17

Instead of adding subtract

2.- Divide 1 on both sides

1x = 15

You should only have X on the left side

3.- You should have

X = 15

15+3x=45 I'm sorry but there will be a lot of questions I need to ask. But can someone help me with this one too?

Answers

Hey :)

x= 10

Subtract 15 from both sides
3x=45−15


Subtract 15 from 45 to get 30
3x=30

Divide both sides by 3.
x= 3/30


Divide 30 by 3 to get 10
x=10


Hope this helps :)

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

 A gold mine has two​ elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 4 feet per second. The elevator for the miners descends 13 feet per second. One​ day, the equipment elevator begins to descend. After 33 ​seconds, the elevator for the miners begins to descend. What is the position of each elevator relative to the surface after another 12 ​seconds? At that​ time, which elevator is​ deeper?

Answers

Answer:

The position of the equipment elevator is 180 feet deep

The position of the miner's elevator is 156 feet deep

The equipment elevator is deeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

For the equipment elevator

Velocity (v) = 4 feet/second

and for the miner's elevator,

Velocity (v) = 13 feet/second

To determine the position of each elevator, the position can be related to the distance covered.

From

Velocity = Distance / Time

Distance = Velocity × Time

Now, from the question,

The equipment elevator first descends for 33 seconds, after which the miner's elevator then start to descend both elevators descend for another 12 seconds. That is, the equipment elevator descends for a total of (33+12) seconds while the miner's elevator descends for 12 seconds.

Now, for the equipment elevator

Velocity = 4 feet/second

Time = (33 + 12 seconds) = 45 seconds

From

Distance = Velocity × Time

Distance = 4 × 45

Distance = 180 feet

The position of the equipment elevator is 180 feet deep

For the miner's elevator,

Velocity = 13 feet/second

Time = 12 seconds

Also, from

Distance = Velocity × Time

Distance = 13 × 12

Distance = 156 feet

The position of the miner's elevator is 156 feet deep

Hence, the equipment elevator is deeper.

My answer is 8!!!

If x is equal to 4 then 5x4=20 because if there is no sign then that means that you have to multiply, then you add 20 and 12 which is equal to 32, And then you simplify 4 which equals 8, or you can think of dividing 32 and 4 which is also 8.

As you walk to your car, you notice that your tire is nearly flat! The initial psi level yesterday was 40 but it is now only 38 today. If this trend continues and the tire keeps losing the same percentage of air, how much should be left at the end of the week rounded to 1 decimal? (7 days later)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial psi yesterday = 40 psi

psi today = 38 psi

If trend continues and tire loses the same percentage of air. How much air will be left in tire at the end of the week

1 week ( 7days)

Total loss after 7 days = (amount lost per day * number of days)

Total psi lost per day= [(40 - 38) = 2

% psi lost = (2/40) * 100

= 5%

Applying the exponential loss functin:

A = I ( 1 - r)^t

t = 7days ; r = 5% = 0.05 ; A = amount left ; I = Initial amount

A = 40(1 - 0.05)^7

A = 40(0.95)^7

A = 40 * 0.69833729609375

A = 27.933

A = 27.9 psi

Which equation has solution x = -3?


A) 2x - 7 = -1
B) 3x + 8 = 1
C) 1/2x+8=10
D) 1/2(2x-6)=-6

Answers

Answer:

D) 1/2(2x-6)=-6 = x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. x = 3

B. x = 7/3

C. x = 4

D. x = -3

Solve for x:

(2 x - 6)/2 = -6

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of (2 x - 6)/2 = -6 by 2:

(2 (2 x - 6))/2 = -6×2

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (2 x - 6))/2.

(2 (2 x - 6))/2 = 2/2×(2 x - 6) = 2 x - 6:

2 x - 6 = -6×2

Hint: | Multiply 2 and -6 together.

2 (-6) = -12:

2 x - 6 = -12

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 6 - 12

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 6 - 12

Hint: | Evaluate 6 - 12.

6 - 12 = -6:

2 x = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 2 x = -6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-6)/2

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

2/2 = 1:

x = (-6)/2

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.

The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:

The difference of twice a number and 3 is at most -21

Answers

Answer:

The equation: 2n - 3 ≤ -21

The answer to the equation: n ≤ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

How to get the equation:

The difference of symbolizes subtraction. Because we are subtracting twice a number and 3, the first part of the equation can be written as 2n - 3. The n symbolizes the number.

is at most symbolizes a less than or equal to sign. That sign is ≤. And what is it less than or equal to? -21.

Now are equation is 2n - 3 ≤ -21

How to solve it:

2n - 3 ≤ -21

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

2n ≤ 18

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

n ≤ 9

Take x/2≥-4. Now multiply both sides by 2 to isolate the x variable. Multiplying x/2 by 2 removes the denominator.

Step 2-

Since we are multiplying both sides by 2, we also have to multiply -4 by 2. We get -8

Step 3-

Therefore, x≥-8
