X=number of years after 2000.
y=percentage of residents (still) reads newspapers for information
initial value (= y-intercept) = percentage in 2000 = 54%
slope = increase each year = -1.7% (because it is a decrease)
the slope intercept form of the equation is therefore:
y=slope(x)+initial value, or
y=-1.7x+54   (in %)

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the x-axis and goes through the point (1, 4).
enyata [817]

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is parallel to the x-axis would have an equation of y= ______.

This is because a horizontal graph has a gradient of zero, thus the value of m in y=mx+c is zero.

y=0x +c

y= c

Since it passed through the point (1,4):

When x=1, y=4,

4= 0(1) +c

c= 4

Thus, the equation of the line is y=4.

Chang and Carlotta solve this problem in two different ways. You have $50 in your bank account. You make $8 per hour mowing lawn
Daniel [21]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by inputting the values into an equation. Here is the equation below:

50 + 8x = 130

Lets solve for x. First you subtract 50 from 130.

1) 8x = 130 - 50

2) 8x = 80

Next, you divide 80 by 8 to get x by itself.

1) x = \frac{80}{8}

2) x = 10

This means that you must mow lawns for 8 more hours to get a total of $130 in your bank account.

How many 3-digit numerical passwords are there if a digit cannot be repeated?
alexgriva [62]
The first digit of the password can be any of the ten digits - 10 possibilities.
A digit cannot be repeated, so the second digit can be any digit except the one you chose for the first digit - 9 possibilities.
The third digit can be any digit except the digits you chose for the first and second digit - 8 possibilities.

Using the rule of product:
10 \times 9 \times 8=720

There are 720 passwords.
