Answer:

(d) No. Slope is not constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know if the given graph shows a linear function.

<h3>Linear function</h3>

The graph of a linear function is a straight line. The points on the graph shown do not form a straight line, so the function is nonlinear.

<h3>Rate of change</h3>

The rate of change of a function is the ratio of "rise" to "run" between two points in the graph. This ratio is also called the "slope." For a straight line, the rate of change (slope) is constant. That is, a linear function has a constant rate of change.

If the function is nonlinear, its rate of change is not constant. The converse is also true: if the slope is not constant, the function is nonlinear.

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 1500 cellular phones per 1000 people, then the number of phones per person is:

$\frac{1500}{1000} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2}$

Now we know that $\frac{3}{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}$

A patrolman spends 25% every day completing paperwork. The patrolman’s shift each day is 8 hours. How much of his time does he s

fredd [130]

Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!

Hope this helps!

A water tank in Stewart's

lara [203]

The change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.

Since a water tank in Stewart's home had a small, steady leak loss of 1 3/5 mL in 10 min, to find the change in the volume of water in 1 minute, the following calculation must be performed:
