How do you determine whether three sets of points is collinear

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I think you mean "a set of three points". What I would do is take one point, find the slope from that point to another one, and then find the slope from the same starting point to the third one. If the (absolute values of the) slopes from the same starting point to each of the others are equal, then the three points are collinear.
Answer 2
Answer: Step 1) Write an equation of the line determined by two of the points.

Unless the y-intercept is too hard to find, we're probably going to use slope-intercept form to accomplish this.
Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0)

Step 1a) We find the slope with the change in the y-coordinates of the two points (the "rise") over the change in the x-coordinates. (the "run")

Step 1b) We can use this slope to find the y-intercept, the value of y when x = 0.
We know how y changes accordinate to changes in x by the slope.
Just take one of the points of our line, see how much x needs to change to become equal to 0, and change y accordingly.

Step 2) We can take our third point and plug in its x and y values in that equation, now that we have the equation of our line filled out. If you evaluate the equation and it is true, then the point is on that line. If it's not true for those values, the point is not on the line.

Lowell has a credit card that uses the adjusted balance method. For the first10 days of one of his 30-day billing cycles, his balance was $1360. He thenmade a purchase for $470, so his balance jumped to $1830, and it remainedthat amount for the next 10 days. Lowell then made a payment of $740, sohis balance for the last 10 days of the billing cycle was $1090. If his creditcard's APR is 28%, which of these expressions could be used to calculate theamount Lowell was charged in interest for the billing cycle?

Find m∠1 if m∠1 = 6x and m∠CAB = 11x+9

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!

Answers

Answer:

<1 = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

< CAB = <1 + <2

We have to assume that AP is a perpendicular bisector or we cannot solve the problem.

That would mean that <1 = <2

11x+9 = 6x+6x

11x+9 = 12x

Subtract 11x from each side

9 = 12x-11x

9 =x

We want <1

<1= 6x

<1 = 6*9

<1 = 54

Which step should be completed first to solve the equation 9 -3q = 14 ?A.
Add 14 to both sides.

B.
Divide both sides by 3.

C.
Divide both sides by −3.

D.
Subtract 9 from both sides.

Answers

The answer is D.Subtract 9 from both sides, because 9 is positive, so you need to subtract.

Guy and Jim work at a furniture store. Guy is paid $185 per week plus 3% of his total sales indollars, x, which can be represented by g(x) = 185 + 0.03x. Jim is paid $275 per week plus 2.5%
of his total sales in dollars, x, which can be represented by f(x) = 275 + 0.025x. Determine the
value of x, in dollars, that will make their weekly pay the same.

Answers

Guy's weekly pay is:
185 dollars + 3/100 * x (3 percent of X -> his total weekly sales in dollars).
Jim's weekly pay is:
275 dollars + 25/1000 * x (2.5 percent of X -> his total weekly sales in dollars, i.e. 2.5/100 = 0.025).
We need to have these weekly pays the same, so we equalize these expressions and solve the obtained equation by x:
185 + 0.03*x = 275 + 0.025*x
we switch free numbers to the right side and unknowns to the left side of equation:
3/100 * x - 25/1000 * x = 275 - 185
3/100 * x - 25/1000 * x = 90 /*1000 (multiply whole equation by a 1000, to loose fractions)
we get:
30*x - 25*x = 90000
5*x = 90000, divide whole equation by 5 (which means both sides of equation):
x = 90000/5
x = 18000 dollars
Value of x is 18 000 for which their weekly pay is the same.

Tickets to a school production cost $5 for a student ticket and $10 for an adult ticket. A total of 67 tickets were purchased at a cost of $440.Which value could replace c in the table?

A. 67
B. 440
C. 67 – a
D. 440 – a

Answers

Keywords:

System of equations, variables, cost, tickets, adults, children.

For this case we must solve a system of equations with two variables represented by the tickets of students and adults of a school production.

We define the variables according to the given table:

  • a: Number of tickets sold to adults
  • c: Amount of tickets sold to children.

We then have the following system of equations:

a + c = 67\n10a + 5c = 440

From the first equation, we clear the value of the variable c:

c = 67-a

Answer:

The value that could replace c in the table is:

c = 67-a

Option C

Answer:

C= 67-A

How do you simplify the square root of 48

Answers

When you simplify the square root of a number, you are looking for factors of the number that are perfect squares that you can remove from under the radical.  For example sq root of 8... it's not a perfect square but factors of 8 include 2 x 4... 4 is a perfect square so we can take it out of the radical by taking it's square root.  Now you are left with 2* sq root of 2.

For sq root of 48

48 = 12 x 4 

12 = 3x4  so we can say 48 = 3x4x4

so... sq root 48 = sq root 3x4x4

we have two 4's under the radical.  Sq root x^2 = x    so sq root 4^2 is 4

Pull it out from the radical and we are left with 4 * sq root 3
