The roll of the biscuit is 101/2 inches long. It has to be cut into slices that are 3/8 inches thick.
Then
The number of slices = (101/2)/(3/8)
                                   = (101/2) * (8/3)
                                   = 808/6
                                   = 404/3
                                   = 134.66
So the biscuit dough can be cut into 134 slices approximately. A small part will be left. This is the only way to find out the number of slices the biscuit dough can be sliced into. Hope this helps you in understanding the way it is done.

The population p (in millions) of Italy from 1990 through 2008 can be approximated by the model p=56.8e^o.oo15t , where t repres
dimulka [17.4K]

As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.

Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years)  substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:

p = 56.8e^{0.0015*10}\\

p=57.6584 million people

To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)

substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:

p=56.8e ^{0.0015*18}\\

p=58.3545 million people


To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30

t = 25

p=56.8e^{0.0015*25}

p=58.9704 million people


 t = 30

p=56.8e^{0.0015*30}

p=59.4144 million people

Write the equation of each line using the given information.
Leni [432]

a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line</u></em>

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))

On solving we get,

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}

<em><u>b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line</u></em>

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)  

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)  

y + 1 = -x + 2  

y = -x + 2 -1  

y = -x + 1

<em><u>c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)</u></em>

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k  and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1  

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

<em><u> d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)</u></em>

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0

Need help with this :(
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

B.    m = \frac{3}{2}, y-int = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line, we need to plot two points

(2, 6) (-2, 0)

m = slope

Then use the Slope-Formula to Solve for the slope

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}        

m = \frac{0-6}{-2-2}

m = \frac{-6}{-4}

m = \frac{6}{4}

m = \frac{3}{2}

The Slope is \frac{3}{2}

The y-intercept is 3 because the line is going 3 units upwards on y axis!

Equation: y = 3/2x + 3

Slope: 3/2

y-intercept: 3
