Answer:
y=0.3x - 7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
line: y=ax+b
a= Δy ÷ Δx
a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)
a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3
y=0.3x + b
Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).
0.3 × 2 + b = -7
0.6 + b = -7
b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6
So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6
On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The worth of a penny is 1 cent = 1/100 = $0.01
The worth of a nickel is 5 cents = 5/100 = $0.05
Let x represent the number of pennies that she could have. Lucy has some pennies and some nickels. She has a maximum of 15 coins. If lucky has 6.999999999999999, it means that
6.999999999999999 + x ≥ 15
x ≥ 15 - 6.999999999999999
x ≥ 8
If the 15 coins worth a minimum of $0.47combined, it means that
0.05(6.999999999999999) + 0.01x ≤ 0.47
0.35 + 0.01x ≤ 0.47
0.01x ≤ 0.47 - 0.35
0.01x ≤ 0.12
x ≤ 0.12/0.01
x ≤ 12
Therefore, the possible values for the number of pennies that she could have is 8 ≤ x ≤ 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Identity property of multiplication: Any number times 1 (unity) is the number itself. 7 times 1 is 7, the number with which we started.
