Cevap: $-20$

Cevap

The slope of the line is

-20

.

The correct answer is

-20

. The slope represents the rate of change of the volume of water with respect to time. Using the points

(2, 140)

and

(5, 80)

, the slope is calculated as the change in volume divided by the change in time:

\frac{80 - 140}{5 - 2} = \frac{-60}{3} = -20

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coordinates of the two data points from the problem context.

The two points are

(2, 140)

and

(5, 80)

, where time

t

represents the horizontal coordinate and volume

v

represents the vertical coordinate.

The problem defines the horizontal axis as representing time

t

and the vertical axis as representing volume

v

.

2

Apply the slope formula

m = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2 - t_1}

using the coordinates from Step 1.

m = \frac{80 - 140}{5 - 2} = \frac{-60}{3} = -20

.

Calculating the ratio of change in the vertical axis to the change in the horizontal axis gives the slope of the line.

Cevap: $-2$

Cevap

The

x

-intercept of line

L

is

-2

.

The original line

L

can be written as

y = mx + 4

. Translating the line horizontally to the right by

3

units replaces

x

with

x - 3

, resulting in the equation

y = m(x - 3) + 4 = mx - 3m + 4

. The

y

-intercept of this new line is

4 - 3m

. We are given that this new

y

-intercept is

6

units less than the original

y

-intercept of

4

, which gives the equation

4 - 3m = 4 - 6

. Solving for

m

yields

-3m = -6 \implies m = 2

. With a slope of

2

and a

y

-intercept of

4

, the equation of the original line

L

is

y = 2x + 4

. To find the

x

-intercept, we set

y = 0

, which gives

2x + 4 = 0 \implies x = -2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the general equation of line

L

in slope-intercept form.

y = mx + 4

, where

m

is the slope of line

L

The

y

-intercept of line

L

is given as

4

, which represents the constant term

b

in

y = mx + b

.

2

Apply the horizontal translation of

3

units to the right.

y = m(x - 3) + 4

, which simplifies to

y = mx - 3m + 4

.

Translating a function horizontally to the right by

h

units replaces

x

with

x - h

.

Determine the slope

m

using the change in

y

The new

y

-intercept is

4 - 3m

. Since this is

6

units less than the original

y

-intercept of

4

, we set up the equation

4 - 3m = 4 - 6 \implies -3m = -6 \implies m = 2

.

We relate the algebraic expression for the new

y

-intercept to the given numerical relationship.

4

Find the

x

-intercept of line

L

by setting

y = 0

.

2x + 4 = 0 \implies 2x = -4 \implies x = -2

A circle in the first quadrant of the standard $(x,y)$ coordinate plane is tangent to the $x$ -axis and is also tangent to the line $y = \frac{4}{3}x$ . If the center of the circle lies on the line with equation $y = 3x - 10$ , what is the radius of the circle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

The radius of the circle is 2.

The correct answer is obtained by determining that the center of a circle tangent to the

x

-axis in the first quadrant has the form

(h, R)

where

R

is the radius. Using the distance from this point to the line

4x - 3y = 0

gives

h = 2R

to ensure the center remains in the first quadrant. Substituting

(2R, R)

into the line

y = 3x - 10

yields

R = 3(2R) - 10

, which solves to

R = 2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the relation between the circle's center coordinates and its radius.

The center is

(h, R)

where

R

is the radius.

Because the circle is tangent to the

x

-axis and lies in the first quadrant, the y-coordinate of its center must equal its radius.

2

Apply the point-to-line distance formula from the center to the line

y = \frac{4}{3}x

.

The relation is

|4h - 3R| = 5R

.

The distance from the center

(h, R)

to the line

4x - 3y = 0

must equal the radius

R

.

3

Solve the absolute value equation for

h

in terms of

R

.

Since

h > 0

, we find

h = 2R

.

The positive case

4h - 3R = 5R

gives

h = 2R

, whereas the negative case

4h - 3R = -5R

gives a negative

h

which violates the first-quadrant condition.

4

Substitute the center coordinates

(2R, R)

into the line

y = 3x - 10

and solve for

R

.

R = 2

.

The center lies on this line, so its coordinates must satisfy the line's equation.

Cevap: $y = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}$

Cevap

The equation of line

e

is

y = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}

.

The correct equation has a slope of

\frac{4}{3}

and a y-intercept of

\frac{2}{3}

. The slope of the given line is

-\frac{3}{4}

, meaning any line perpendicular to it must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal, which is

\frac{4}{3}

. Using the slope-intercept form

y = mx + b

with the point

(1, 2)

allows us to solve for

b

by calculating

2 = \frac{4}{3}(1) + b

, which simplifies to

b = 2 - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2}{3}

. Writing this together in slope-intercept form yields

y = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}

.

Determine the slope of the perpendicular line

e

.

The slope of line

e

is

\frac{4}{3}

b = \frac{2}{3}

Plugging the values into

y = mx + b

gives

2 = \frac{4}{3}(1) + b

A straight hiking trail ascends a hill at a constant incline. On a coordinate grid where the units represent meters, the path of the trail is a straight line starting at the coordinate point $(10, 150)$ and ending at the coordinate point $(90, 190)$ . What is the slope of this trail?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 0.5

Cevap

The correct answer is

0.5

(or

\frac{1}{2}

).

The slope of a line is defined as the change in the

y

-coordinates divided by the change in the

x

-coordinates:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

. By substituting the coordinates of the start of the trail

(10, 150)

and the end of the trail

(90, 190)

, we calculate

\frac{190 - 150}{90 - 10} = \frac{40}{80} = 0.5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coordinates from the problem statement.

(x_1, y_1) = (10, 150)

and

(x_2, y_2) = (90, 190)

To calculate the slope between two points, we first need to define their coordinates.

2

Recall the formula for the slope of a line passing through two points.

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Slope represents the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run).

3

Substitute the coordinate values into the slope formula and simplify.

m = \frac{190 - 150}{90 - 10} = \frac{40}{80} = 0.5

Plugging the values into the formula yields the constant rate of change (slope) of the trail.

\frac{3}{4}

of the way from

A

\triangle PBC

is only

\frac{1}{4} \times 6 = 1.5

. Thus, the dividing line must intersect side

AB

at a point

Q

to form

\triangle APQ

with an area of 3. Using the area ratio formula,

\text{Area}(\triangle APQ) = \frac{AP}{AC} \times \frac{AQ}{AB} \times \text{Area}(\triangle ABC) \implies 3 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{AQ}{AB} \times 6

\frac{AQ}{AB} = \frac{2}{3}

Cevap: $-\frac{4}{3}$

Cevap

The correct answer is

-\frac{4}{3}

.

The correct answer is

-\frac{4}{3}

. If three points are collinear, the slope computed between any two pairs must be equal. Setting the slope between

(k, -3)

and

(1, k)

equal to the slope between

(1, k)

and

(4, 9)

gives the equation

\frac{k + 3}{1 - k} = \frac{9 - k}{3}

. Cross-multiplying yields

3(k + 3) = (9 - k)(1 - k)

, which simplifies to

k^2 - 13k = 0

. Solving this gives

k = 0

or

k = 13

. Substituting

k = 13

back into the coordinates gives the points

(13, -3)

,

(1, 13)

, and

(4, 9)

. The slope of the line passing through these points is

\frac{9 - 13}{4 - 1} = -\frac{4}{3}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the collinearity condition using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

.

The slope of the line segment between

(k, -3)

and

(1, k)

must equal the slope of the line segment between

(1, k)

and

(4, 9)

.

Since all three points lie on the same straight line, the slope between any two pairs of points must be equal.

2

Write the algebraic expressions for the slopes and set them equal to each other.

\frac{k - (-3)}{1 - k} = \frac{9 - k}{4 - 1} \Rightarrow \frac{k + 3}{1 - k} = \frac{9 - k}{3}

This establishes a rational equation containing the variable

k

.

3

Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions and simplify.

3(k + 3) = (9 - k)(1 - k) \Rightarrow 3k + 9 = 9 - 10k + k^2

Cross-multiplying allows us to convert the rational equation into a polynomial equation.

4

Rearrange the terms into standard quadratic form and solve for

k

.

k^2 - 13k = 0 \Rightarrow k(k - 13) = 0 \Rightarrow k = 0 \text{ or } k = 13

Identify the two transformations in reverse order and define their inverse operations.

The final transformation was a translation of

4

units to the right and

3

units down, so the first step in working backward is a translation of

4

units to the left and

3

units up. The initial transformation was a

90^\circ

counterclockwise rotation about the origin, so the second step in working backward is a

90^\circ

clockwise rotation about the origin.

To find the pre-image, we must apply the inverse of each transformation in the reverse order of how they were originally applied.

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The y-intercept of the line is 9.

The equation of the line is

y = -3x + b

, where

b

is the

y

-intercept. The

x

-intercept is found by setting

y=0

, which yields

x = \frac{b}{3}

. Setting their sum to

12

gives

\frac{b}{3} + b = 12

, which simplifies to

4b = 36

and results in

b = 9

1

Express the equation of the line using the slope-intercept form.

The equation of the line is

y = -3x + b

b

is the

y

-intercept.

We are given that the slope of the line is

-3

.

2

Find the

x

-intercept of the line in terms of

b

.

Setting

y = 0

gives

0 = -3x + b \implies 3x = b \implies x = \frac{b}{3}

. Thus, the

x

-intercept is

\frac{b}{3}

.

The

x

-intercept of a line is the

x

-coordinate where the line crosses the

x

-axis, which occurs when

y = 0

3

Set up an equation using the given sum of the intercepts.

\frac{b}{3} + b = 12

The problem states that the sum of the

x

-intercept and the

y

-intercept is

12

4

Solve the linear equation for the

y

-intercept

b

.

Multiply the entire equation by

Solving this equation yields the value of the

Alternatif Yöntem

Alternatively, you can write the equation of the line in intercept form:

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1

, where

a

is the

x

-intercept and

b

is the

y

-intercept. The slope of this line is

-\frac{b}{a} = -3

, which means

b = 3a

. Since the sum of the intercepts is

12

, we write

a + b = 12

. Substituting

b = 3a

into this sum gives

a + 3a = 12 \implies 4a = 12 \implies a = 3

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The value of the constant

k

is 9.

The correct answer is 9. Completing the square for the first circle's equation gives

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25 - k

, which identifies the center as

(4, -3)

and the radius squared as

r^2 = 25 - k

. Reflecting

(4, -3)

across the line

y = x

swaps the coordinates to give the new center

(-3, 4)

. Because the second circle is tangent to the

x

-axis, its radius is the absolute value of the

y

-coordinate of its center, which is

|4| = 4

. Since both circles have the same radius, we set the radius squared equal to

4^2

:

25 - k = 16

k = 9

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Complete the square for the first circle's equation

x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 6y + k = 0

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25 - k

, which represents a circle with center

(4, -3)

r^2 = 25 - k

This puts the equation into the standard form

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

to find the center and radius.

Reflect the center of the first circle across the line

Determine the radius of the second circle using the tangency condition.

Since the second circle is tangent to the

The distance from a circle's center

Equate the radius squared of the first circle to the square of the radius of the second circle.
