1.Read the passage given below.
I have found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Nothing.
Nelson Mandela said: “There is no passion to be found playing small, in settling
for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
I am sure your experiences in school… in applying to college… in picking your
major…in doing what you want to do with life, people have told you to make
sure you’ve something to “fall back on”.
But if I am going to fall, I don’t want to fall back on anything, except my faith.
I want to fall forward. At least I figure that way I will see what I am about to hit.
Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I
didn’t either, because 1,001 was the light bulb.
Fall forward.
Every failed experiment is one step closer to success. You have got to take risks.
And I am sure you’ve probably heard that before. But I want to talk about why
it is so important.
You will fail at some point in life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass
yourself. There is no doubt about it. That’s not a traditional message for a
graduation ceremony.
But, hey, I am telling you- embrace it. Because it is inevitable.
And I should know; in the acting business you fail all the time.
Early in my career, I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical. A perfect role
for me, I thought- except for the fact that I can’t sing. So, I start to sing and
they are not saying anything. I think I must be getting better, so I start getting
into it. The director cuts me off saying I will be hearing from him.
I assumed I didn’t get the job.
But the next part of the audition, the acting part, he called me back, though I
didn’t get that too.
But here’s the thing. I didn’t quit. I didn’t fall back.
I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition, and the next audition,
and the next one. I prayed and I prayed, but I continued to fail, and failed and
failed.
But it didn’t matter because if you try long enough you’ll catch your break.
And I did catch a break.

Answer:

  (81/43, -31/43) ≈ (1.884, -0.7209)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the intersection point of the altitudes of the triangle. Since this is not a right triangle, you need to find the equations of the altitude lines, then find where those intersect.

If we call the points A, B, C in the order given, the attached figure shows the altitude lines from B perpendicular to AC, and from C perpendicular to AB.

We can find the equation of the perpendicular line using the form ...

  ∆x·x +∆y·y = c

where ∆x and ∆y are the differences in coordinates between the points on the "side" and the value of constant 'c' is determined by evaluating the expression using x and y as the coordinates of the opposite vertex.

__

For line AC, we have ...

  (∆x, ∆y) = C - A = (2, -1) -(-3, 0.5) = (2+3, -1-0.5) = (5, -1.5)

Then the equation of the first altitude line is ...

  5x -1.5y = 6(3) -1.5(3) = 10.5

Multiplying by 2 puts this in standard form:

  10x -3y = 21

__

For line AB, we have ...

  (∆x, ∆y) = B - A = (3, 3) -(-3, 0.5) = (3+3, 3-0.5) = (6, 2.5)

Then the equation of the second altitude line is ...

  6x +2.5y = 6(2) +2.5(-1) = 9.5

Multiplying by 2 puts this in standard form:

  12x +5y = 19

__

Then the orthocenter is the solution to the system of equations ...

  10x -3y -21 = 0

  12x +5y -19 = 0

This set of equations can be solved a number of ways. One is the "cross-multiplication" method.

  1/(10·5 -12·(-3)) = x/(-3·(-19) -5·(-21)) = y/(-21(12) -(-19)(10))

  x = 162/86 = 81/43

  y = -62/86 = -31/43

The orthocenter is (81/43, -31/43) ≈ (1.884, -0.7209).

Additional comment

The "cross multiply method" is based on cross products when the equations  are written in standard form:

  ax +by +c = 0

  dx +ey +g = 0

Usually, the coefficients are written in two rows of four, with the first column repeated at the end:

  a  b  c  a

  d  e  g  d

Then cross products are formed, where diagonal down is positive and diagonal up is subtracted from that:

  p1 = (ae -db), p2 = (bg -ec), p3 = (cd -ga)

These give the solution to the equations when put in the form ...

  1/p1 = x/p2 = y/p3   ⇒   x = p2/p1   and   y = p3/p1

If you look at videos of this "cross multiply method," they will put the 1/p1 at the end of the string of equalities, and they will use the coefficients in the order starting with b instead of a. I find the arrangement here easier to remember, so less likely to get confused.

Further comment

You can, of course, find the slopes of the lines, and their opposite reciprocals, then use a point-slope form or some other method for writing the equations of the altitude lines. The solution to the equations can proceed by substitution or elimination. No doubt these methods are somewhat familiar. The method used here tries to get to the answer much more quickly with a lot less writing. (Unfortunately, it takes a bit of writing to explain it all.)

Answer :need the options you choose frome

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Question 1: Option C: y -6 = 8(x+4) is the correct answer.

Question 2: Option B: y-1=0 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1(In Picture):

Given point is: (-4,6) and

Slope: m = 8

The point-slope form of equation of a line is given by:

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the point from which the line passes. Putting (-4,6) in the equation and slope

[tex]y -6 = 8(x+4)[/tex]

Hence,

Option C: y -6 = 8(x+4) is the correct answer.

Question 2:

Given point is: (3,1) and

Slope: m = 0

The point-slope form of equation of a line is given by:

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the point from which the line passes. Putting (-4,6) in the equation and slope

[tex]y -1 = 0(x-3)\\y-1 = 0[/tex]

Hence,

Option B: y-1=0 is the correct answer.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

for the two of them, the first answer is the answer

Answer:

#1 - First option: y + 7 =  [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex](x -4)

#2 - First option: y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

#1

Given: (x1,y1) = (4,-7) and m = [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex];

To find the point slope form which is

y - y1 = m(x - x1); substitute (x1,y1) and m

y - (-7) = [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex](x -4)

y + 7 =  [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex](x -4)

#2

Given: points (x1,y1) = (0, -5) and (x2,y2)=(4,3)

To find the slope we use

m = [tex]\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(3-(-5))}{(4-0)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex] = 2

Now pick a number to find b

y = mx + b

y1 = mx1 + b

-5 = 2(0) + b

b = -5

now plug into y = mx + b; which is

y = 2x - 5

Answer:

B. $0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of bananas

y = cost of bananas in dollars

Given that 4 bananas cost $3.52, the constant of proportionality that relates cost of bananas, y, to the number of pounds of bananas, x = y/x

y = 3.52

x = 4

Therefore:

Constant of proportionality = [tex] \frac{3.52}{4} = 0.88 [/tex].

Answer:

We are given the rule: the speed is the ratio between the distance and the time. So we have

s = d/t = 100/2.5

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{m\angle 1 = 131 \textdegree}[/tex]

[tex]\huge\boxed{m\angle 2 = 49 \textdegree}[/tex]

[tex]\huge\boxed{m\angle 3 = 112 \textdegree}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use basic angle relationships to find the measure of angles 1, 2, and 3 here.

First off, we know that the 49° angle and m∠1 are supplementary. This means that their angle measures will add up to 180°.

Since we know one, we can find the other easily.

[tex]x + 49 = 180\\\\x = 180-49\\\\x = 131[/tex]

So m∠1 = 131°.

We also know that m∠2 is opposite to the 49° angle. This means that m∠2 is also 49°.

Now, we know that m∠3 is also opposite to the 112° angle. Therefore, their angle measures are the same, and m∠3 is also 112°.

Hope this helped!
