Answer:
The equation is;
y = -1/4x + 607.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us have the number of drops as y axis while the number of minutes is x axis
The points to use are;
(30,600) and (130,575)
The slope can be calculated using;
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (575-600)/(130-30) = -25/100 = -1/4
So the equation as we model using the normal equation of a straight line (y = mx + c, m is slope and c is the intercept)
y = -1/4x + c
To get c, we simply substitute one point
Let us use (30,600)
We have
600 = -1/4(30) + c
600 + 7.5 = c
c = 607.5
So the equation is ;
y = -1/4x + 607.5
Answer:
b=9,a=12
Step-by-step explanation:
I solved by substitution:
b = 3/4a ---> plug this into the other equation
a + b = 21 is now a + 3/4a = 21
Reduce: 7/4a = 21
a = 12
Now solve for b:
b=3/4a is now b=3/4(12)
b=9
