Answer: 72 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the real floor of a classroom is 36 feet by 32 feet.

And the scale drawing, has length of the classroom equal to 9 inches.

What is the area in square inches of the floor in the scale drawing

1 foot = 12 inches

The length of the classroom, measured in feet, has been multiplied by 12, to get converted in inches. After that, it has been divided by a number, a proportion, to get to 9 inches.

36feet * 12 / x = 9 inches

432 inches / x = 9 inches

Now, to solve for x, we can cross-multiply

432 inches = 9x inches

Divide 9 inches on both sides.

x = 48

To solve the exercise, we need to calculate the floor's area in the scale drawing.

We have the length = 9 inches.

Now, let's calculate the width

Width = 32 feet * 12 / 48

Width = 384 inches / 48

Width = 8 inches

Area = Length * Width

Area = 9 inches * 8 inches

Area = 72 inches squared

Hope I helped!

What is the y-intercept of the function, represented by the table of values

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is given below

$\left|\begin{array}{c|cc}x&y\\--&--\\-2&15\\1&6\\2&3\\4&-3\\7&-12\end{array}\right|$

We can see that the table represents a linear function since by checking its slope.

Using:

Points (-2,15) and (1,6)
Points (1,6) and (2,3)

$Slope =\dfrac{6-15}{1-(-2)} =\dfrac{3-6}{2-1}=-3$

Therefore, the values represent a linear function.

A linear equation is of the form y=mx+b

Therefore:

y=-3x+b

Using the points (7,-12)

$-12=-3(7)+b\\-12=-21+b\\b=-12+21\\b=9$

Therefore, the y-intercept of the function, represented by the table of values is 9.
