Find the slope and the x- & y-intercepts of x + 2y = 6(5 pts) (Show work for finding X- & y-intercepts)

Answers

Answer 1

First, we need to write our equation in standard form — the y should be on the left- hand - side and the x should be on the right- hand side.

The first step is to subtract x from both sides, doing this we get:

[tex]2y=6-x[/tex]

Now we divide both sides of the equation by 2 (this isolates the y on LHS), doing this gives us:

[tex]y\text{ = }\frac{6-x}{2}[/tex]

which can also be written as

[tex]y=\frac{-x}{2}+3[/tex]

The y-intercept is the point at which the line described by our equation intersects the y-axis. This intersection happens when x = 0; therefore, the y-intercept is

[tex]y=\frac{-0}{2}+\text{ 3}[/tex][tex]y=0\text{.}[/tex]

The x-intercept is the point at which the line intersects the x-axis. This happens when y =0; therefore, the x-intercept is

[tex]0=\frac{-x}{2}+3[/tex][tex]-3\text{ = }\frac{-x}{2}[/tex][tex]x\text{ = 6.}[/tex]

Now we see that the slope of the equation is -1/2 (the coefficient of x ). The y-intercept is y = 3 and the x-intercept is 6.

The relation between the number of batteries (n) and the maximum height reached by the drone (h) in feet (ft) is given. Complete the table and check the correct box(es) given below.

Answers

We use the equation: h = 100(n + 2), so:

For n = 1:

[tex]h=100(1+2)=100(3)=300[/tex]

For n = 3:

[tex]h=100(3+2)=100(5)=500[/tex]

We can see that this is the correct equation. Therefore, given h we find n:

For h = 700

[tex]\begin{gathered} 700=100(n+2) \\ \frac{700}{100}=\frac{100}{100}(n+2) \\ 7=n+2 \\ 7-2=n+2-2 \\ n=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

9. If L 1 equals 120 then what is the measure of its supplement <2=

Answers

Supplementary angles are angles whose addition sums up to 180 degrees.

Therefore, if angle 1 measures 120, then its supplement which is angle 2, must mean both add up to 180.

Hence, you have

Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 180

120 + Angle 2 = 180

Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation

Angle 2 = 180 - 120

Angle 2 = 60 degrees

By definiton, two angles are complimentary angles if they both add up to 90 degrees. Hence if angle L5 equals 50 degrees, then its compliment would be derived as 90 - 50 which equals 40. The compliment of angle L5 which is 50 degrees, equals 40 degrees.

13 m up the tree.

How far away is the base of the ladder from the base of the tree?

Give your answer in metres (m) to 1 d.p.

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 5.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This formation will make a right triangle. The ground to the point in the tree is one of the legs. The base of the tree to the base of ladder is another leg and the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse. In this case, we already have the hypotenuse and one of the legs, so we need to find the value of another leg.

We can do so by using the Pythagorean Theorem which is [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\[/tex].

a and b represent the values of the two legs, and c is the hypotenuse. Since we already have the hypotenuse, we can change this equation a bit to find the other leg.

Let's assign the missing value, b in the theorem.

The new equation will be [tex]b^2=c^2-a^2[/tex].

We can insert the values for c and a and solve for b.

The new equation will be [tex]b^2 = 14^2-13^2[/tex].

[tex]b^2=196-169[/tex]

[tex]b^2=27[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{27}[/tex]

The square root of [tex]b^2[/tex] cancels out.

The approximate square root of 27 is 5.19 which we can round to 5.2.

The height of a pole is 15 feet. A line with banners is connected to the top of the poleto a point that is 8 feet from the base of the pole on the ground. How long would theline with banners need to be in order for the pole to be at a 90° angle with the ground?Explain your reasoning.

Answers

In order to have a 90º angle (right angle) the length of the line with banners needs to fullfit the Pythagorean theorem: In a right triangle the squared hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the legs squared:

[tex]h^2=l^2+l^2[/tex]

In the given situation the hypotenusa is the line with banners, and the legs are the pole and the 8ft ground from the base of the pole to the end of the line with banners:

h= x

l= 15ft

l= 8ft

[tex]x^2=(15ft)^2+(8ft)^2[/tex]

Solve the equation to find the value of x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=225ft^2+64ft^2 \\ x^2=289ft^2 \\ x=\sqrt[]{289ft^2} \\ x=17ft \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, to make a right triangle the length of the line witg banners need to be 17ft

Answers

m∠FCE =25º

1) Since the measure of ∠DCF = 115º and ∠DCE = 90º then by the Angle Addition postulate we can state that

∠DCF = ∠DCE +∠FCE Plugging into that the given values

115º = 90º + ∠FCE Subtracting 90º from both sides

115-90=∠FCE

25º =∠FCE

2) Then the measure of ∠FCE is 25º
