(2,28),(5,7)
slope = (7 - 28) / (5 - 2) = - 21/3 = -7...so it is draining at a rate of 7 gallons per minute

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -7
(2,28)...x = 2 and y = 28
now we sub and find b, the y int
28 = -7(2) + b
28 = -14 + b
28 + 14 = b
42 = b
so ur equation is : y = -7x + 42.....this is basically saying that when full, the bathtub holds 42 gallons and is draining at a rate of 7 gallons per minute

The slope-intercept formula is:y = m x + b,or: y = b - m x, since the rate is negative.For the 1st formula we have: y = 30 and x = 2For the 2nd formula: y = 12 and x = 5 ( because: 5 = 2 + 3, or : 3 minutes later, which can be confusing  )30 = b - 2 m12 = b - 5 m--------------------b = 30 + 2 m12 = 30 + 2 m - 5 m3 m = 18m = 18 : 3 = 6b = 30 + 2 * 6 = 30 + 12 = 42Answer:y = 42 - 6 x

A nursery has 10 tree seedlings to give out at 2 workshops. It wants to give out a minimum of 2 seedlings at each workshop. How
11111nata11111 [884]

We are given total 10 tree seedlings.

Number of workshops = 2.

Here order doesn't matters.

<em>When order doesn't matters we apply combination.</em>

We know formula of combination:

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

For the given situation, we have

n=10 and r=2.

Plugging values in formula, we get

\frac{10!}{2!(10-8)!}  = \frac{10\times 9\times8!}{2!8!}

\frac{10 \times 9}{2} = \frac{90}{2} =45

<h3>Therefore, 45 different ways can the nursery give out seedlings.</h3>

Two spinners are shown. Look at the spinners as you respond to the statements below.
spayn [35]
Answer:
A. false
B. true
C. true
D. false
step-by-step:
A: probability of spinning a 4 on spinner A is 1/4 and probability of spinning a 4 on spinner B is 1/3.
B: there are 2 fours out of 6 possible options so that makes it 2/6, simplify that, it becomes 1/3.
C: 2 and 4 are even numbers so that makes 2/4 possible on spinner A. simplify 2/4 and that becomes 1/2.
D. spinning a 3 on spinner A would make it 1/4 (already simplified). spinning a 3 on spinner B would make it 1/6 (already simplified) therefore spinner A is greater.

Two planes A and B start from the same place and move in different directions making an angle of 50° between them the speed of p
Alika [10]

Answer:

The distance between them is 230.65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we use the Cosine formula

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\ cos\ A\\\\a^2 = 200^2 + 300^2 - 2\times 200\times 300cos50^{\circ}\\\\= 40,000 + 90,000 - 120,000cos50^{\circ}\\\\= 130,000 - 120,000 \times 0.64\\\\= 130,000 - 76,800\\\\a^2= 53,200\\\\a = \sqrt{53,200} \\\\= 230.65\ miles\ per\ hour

Now the distance for one hour is

= 230.65 ÷ 1

= 230.65 miles
