A perpendicular line to PQ must have a slope equal to 1/3, then the correct options are B and C.

Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to line PQ?

Two lines are perpendicular if the slope of one is equal to the opposite of the inverse of the other line's slope.

We know that PQ passes through (-8, 7) and (-4, 5), then the slope of PQ is:

[tex]s = \frac{-5 - 7}{-4 - (-8)} = -3[/tex]

A perpendicular line to PQ must have a slope equal to:

[tex]s' = -(\frac{1}{-3} ) = (\frac{1}{3})[/tex]

So we have two correct options (two lines with that slope) which are options B and C.

The orthocentre for the triangle ABC is (1.85, 5.88).

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2, 8), B(6, 2) and C(-3, 2).

We need to use analytical geometry to determine the coordinates of the orthocentre.

How to find the orthocentre using analytical geometry?

Steps to find the orthocentre:

Step 1: First, we will find the slopes of any two sides of the triangle (say AC and AB).

Step 2: Next, we can find the slopes of the corresponding altitudes. Remember that if two lines are perpendicular to each other, they satisfy the following equation.

Step 3: Next, we will use the slope-point form of the equation of a straight line to find the equations of the lines that are coincident with the altitudes BE and AD.

Step 4: Next, we can solve the equations of BE and CF simultaneously to find their solution, which gives us the coordinates of the orthocentre H.

Now, the slope of AC=2-8/-3-2=6/5 and the slope of BE=5/6.

The slope of AB=2-8/6-2=-6/4=-3/2 and the slope of CF=-2/3

The slope of BE=y-2/x-6=5/6

6x-5y-26=0----(1)

The slope of CF=y-2/x+3=-2/3

-2x-3y=0----(2)

By solving (1) and(2), we get

y=26/14=13/7=1.85 and x=5.88

Therefore, the orthocentre for the triangle ABC is (1.85, 5.88).

Please explain it step-by-step. I will give you a brainlist!

Answers

Answer:

36 total students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyze the boys

There are 24 boys in the class.

Since they sit in pairs, and exactly 1/4 of the boys sit with a girl, then one-quarter of the 24 boys sits with a girl.

1/4 * 24 = 6, so 6 of the boys sit with a girl.  Reflexively, 6 girls sit with a boy.

Analyze the girls

Since the problem states that exactly half of the girls sit with a boy, then half of the total number of girls is 6 (since we know that exactly 6 girls were sitting with a boy).

1/2 * x = 6

Multiplying both sides by 2...

x=12

So there are 12 girls total in the class, half (6) of whom sit with a boy.  

Find the total

There are 24 boys total in the class, one-quarter (6) of whom sit with a girl.  The rest of the boys (18) sit in pairs with another boy (9 pairs), and the rest of the girls (6) sit with another girl (3 pairs).

Since there are 12 girls total and 24 boys total in the class, the total number of students is the sum of 12 and 24

12+24 =36 total students in the class

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of 3 times the smaller and 5 times thelarger is106.

Answers

Answer:

12 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number can be assigned x, the second will be assigned x+2 so that it will be even.

3(x)+5(x+2) = 106

3x+5x+10 = 106

8x = 96

x = 12

x+2 = 14

The two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of three times the smaller and five times the larger is 106 are 12 and 14, computed using the linear equation in one variable 3x + 5(x + 2) = 106.

We are given two consecutive even numbers, thus the larger number will be two more than the smaller one, as consecutive even numbers differ by two.

We assume the smaller number to be x.

Thus, the larger number = x + 2.

We have been given that three times the smaller number summed with five times the larger number results in 106.

This can be shown by the linear equation in one variable:

3x + 5(x + 2) = 106.

To find the numbers, we need to solve this linear equation in one variable as follows:

3x + 5(x + 2) = 106,

or 3x + 5x + 10 = 106 {Simplifying},

or, 8x + 10 = 106 {Simplifying},

or, 8x + 10 - 10 = 106 - 10 {Subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation},

or, 8x = 96 {Simplifying},

or, 8x/8 = 96/8 {Dividing both sides of the equation by 8},

or, x = 12 {Simplifying}.

Thus the smaller number, x = 12.

The larger number, x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14.

Thus, the two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of three times the smaller and five times the larger is 106 are 12 and 14, computed using the linear equation in one variable 3x + 5(x + 2) = 106.

Answers

The length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable is equal to 182 meters.

How to determine the length of extra cable?

In order to determine the length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable, we would apply the law of cosine as follows:

B² = A² + C² - 2(A)(C)cosB

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

B² = 325.0² + 430.0² - 2(325.0)(430.0)cos23

B² = 105,625 + 184,900 - 279,500(0.9205)

B² = 290,525 - 257,279.75

B² = 33,245.25

B = √33,245.25

B = 182.33 182 meters.

A store carries chocolate, vanilla, peppermint, and lemon candies. One day, the store clerk notices that he has fifteen candies total. Furthermore, the number of peppermint and lemon candies together is twice the number of chocolate and vanilla candies together, and there are eight more peppermint candies than lemon candies. How many lemon candies are there

Answers

The total number of lemon candies is 1, solved using the linear equation in one variable 3l + 12 = 15, where l is the number of lemon candies.

We assume the number of chocolate candies to be c.

We assume the number of vanilla candies to be v.

We assume the number of peppermint candies to be p.

We assume the number of lemon candies to be l.

The total number of candies is given as 15.

This can be represented by the linear equation: c + v + p + l = 15 ... (i).

The number of peppermint candies and lemon candies together is given to be twice the number of chocolate and vanilla candies together.

This can be represented by the linear equation: p + l = 2(c + v) ... (ii).

There are eight more peppermint candies than lemon candies.

This can be represented by the linear equation: p = l + 8.

Substituting p = l + 8 in (ii), we get,

l + 8 + l = 2(c + v),

or, 2(l + 4) = 2(c + v),

or, c + v = l + 4.

Substituting c + v = l + 4, and p = l + 8, in (i), we get:

l + 4 + l + 8 + l = 15,

or, 3l + 12 = 15,

or, 3l = 15 - 12 = 3,

or, l = 3/3 = 1.

Therefore, the total number of lemon candies is 1, solved using the linear equation in one variable 3l + 12 = 15, where l is the number of lemon candies.
