Using a linear function, we have that:

a) The amount of water in the aquarium at 0 minutes is of 300 liters.

b) As time increases, the amount of water decreases at a rate of 60 liters per minute.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, we have that the y-intercept is of 300, hence the amount of water in the aquarium at 0 minutes is of 300 liters.

The amount <u>decreases 60 liters in a minute,</u> hence:

As time increases, the amount of water decreases at a rate of 60 liters per minute.

Area of a triangle with points at (-9,5), (6,10), and (2,-10)

Ann [662]

First we are going to draw the triangle using the given coordinates.
Next, we are going to use the distance formula to find the sides of our triangle.
Distance formula: $d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Distance from point A to point B:
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{[6-(-9)]^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(6+9)^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(15)^2+(5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{225+25}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{250}$
$d_{AB}=15.81$

Distance from point A to point C:
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{[2-(-9)]^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{(2+9)^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{11^2+(-15)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{121+225}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{346}$
$d_{AC}= 18.60$

Distance from point B from point C
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(-10-10)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-20)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{16+400}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{416}$
$d_{BC}=20.40$

Now, we are going to find the semi-perimeter of our triangle using the semi-perimeter formula:
$s= \frac{AB+AC+BC}{2}$
$s= \frac{15.81+18.60+20.40}{2}$
$s= \frac{54.81}{2}$
$s=27.41$

Finally, to find the area of our triangle, we are going to use Heron's formula:
$A= \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-AC)(s-BC)}$
$A=\sqrt{27.41(27.41-15.81)(27.41-18.60)(27.41-20.40)}$
$A= \sqrt{27.41(11.6)(8.81)(7.01)}$
$A=140.13$

We can conclude that the perimeter of our triangle is 140.13 square units.

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point 4,-1and has slope of -5

Basile [38]

Answer:

y=-5+19

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was -5. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=-5x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(4,-1). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be -1.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -5 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,-1).

So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number -1? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(4,-1). y=mx+b or -1=-5 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=-1-(-5)(4). b=19.
