For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x. "y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:

slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.

The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9

Your sister is considering two different shapes of her garden. One is a square with side lengths of 3.5 meters, and the other is
Bond [772]
A square always has 4 equal sides. this is a well known fact and this can be used to deduce the area of the square. We also know that the length of one side of the square is 3.5 metres. Then to finding the area of the square is easy.
Area of the square = (3.5 * 3.5) square metres
                               = 12.25 square metres
So the area of the square garden is 12.25 square metres.
the formula of calculating area changes with the shape of the garden. this formula will not work if the garden is rectangular or circular in shape.

17-2p=2p+5+2p ? I’m so confused
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do like-terms first which on the right side has the 2p:

17-2p=4p+5

Then make the variables on one side:

17=4p+2p+5

17=6p+5

Let's put that 5 on the other side:

17-5=6p

12=6p

Lastly, divide 6 to get a final remaining p.

12/6=p

2=p

Hope you understand :)
