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

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was  = 2 brown shells.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Julie made identical necklaces then we can say that number of each different colored shells were equally distributed among the necklaces.

So we can say that to find the number of necklaces we have to find the GCD (greatest common denominator) of the different colored shells.

Therefore the GCD of 10, 15 and 20 is 5.

Therefore Julia made 5 necklaces.

Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = \frac{10}{5} = 2 shells.
