I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
Answer:
Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
Step-by-step explanation:
Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips
where;
Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds
Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.
Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds
Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds
Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds
Replacing;
Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds
Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers
where;
Trail mix=3.5 pounds
Quantity per hiker=q
Number of hikers=8
Replacing;
3.5=q×8
q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds
I pound=16 ounces
q=0.4375×16=7 ounces
Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Answer:
B, 140
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright so if you know to do volume this should be a breeze!
First off what you want to do is find the volume of the outside prism.
V=whl=4·5·8=160
160
Then find the smaller prisms volume.
V=whl=1·5·4=20
20
Minus the smaller from the bigger
160-20=140
The answers B!
• The ball is at the same height as the building between 8 and 10 seconds after it is thrown. TRUE - the height is zero somewhere in that interval, hence the ball is the same height from which it was thrown, the height of the roof of the building.
• The height of the ball decreases and then increases. FALSE - at t=2, the height is greater than at t=0.
• The ball reaches its maximum height about 4 seconds after it is thrown. TRUE - the largest number in the table corresponds to t=4.
• The ball hits the ground between 8 and 10 seconds after it is thrown. FALSE - see statement 1.
• The height of the building is 81.6 meters. FALSE - the maximum height above the building is 81.6 meters. Since the ball continues its travel to a distance 225.6 meters below the roof of the building, the building is at least that high.
1. TRUE
2. False
3. TRUE
4. False
5. False
