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

This Question is about Animals. I am no vegan, but why is it ok to eat certain animals such as fish and rabbit but not ok to eat
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

    From what I looked up on Google vegans don't eat fish, maybe some do but vegetarians do still eat fish. The reason why is because their are many types of health benefits that come with eating fish. "Seafood is a healthy source of protein, is full of heart healthy fats and contains iron and a host of vitamins like B-12" (Honeyager).

  I also feel like they ignore the fact that there food was a real animal cause some of society does not want to look at the thing there eating as a once alive animal cause I feel like they know how badly some animals are taken care of through there life time then kill through half of it. And yes I know that other livestock are taken well care of and given a good life before there death.  And most feel it's not okay to eat dogs is because most people actually live around them and know how sweet and kind they are and how they are pets for most. I also feel if it were cows (or some farm animal) instead, like people kept them as pets(just an example) then they would see the personality of a cow and I  guess they would feel more pity for them and not kill them. I hope you understand it's hard to explain my thinking pattern. IDK but this whole question and answer is just  based on peoples emotions whether they are saddened by it, say they don't care, or others who want to make a difference it's all built around peoples emotions and everyone's different and they have different emotions

The first paragraph I researched and the second is not fact at all, it just the true on how I feel. (It probably made no sense to you) Sorry for the 2 page essay!

Answer:

Thus your answer: 100,000,0

Friday: 5 hours x $7.50 per hour = $37.50

Saturday: 6 hours x $7.50 per hour = $45

What is the value of x?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

x = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle formed by two secants = 1/2(difference of intercepted arcs)

51 = 1/2 (160 - x)

Multiply each side by 2

51*2 = 2*1/2 (160-x)

102 = 160-x

Subtract 160 from each side

102-160 = 160-160-x

-58 = -x

Multiply each side by -1

58 =x
