For point (x1,y1) and slope m
y-y1=m(x-x1)

point (-8,1)
slope=5/6

y-1=5/6(x-(-8))
y-1=5/6(x+8)

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The order of fruit from least to greatest weight is -

Apple , pear, navel orange, grapefruit

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Sophia buys an apple that weighs 0.45 pound, a grapefruit that weighs $\frac{3}{4}$ pound, a navel orange that weighs $\frac{5}{8}$ pound, and a pear that weighs 0.5 pound.

To find - What is the order of the fruit from least weight to the greatest weight ?

Proof -

Weight of apple = 0.45 pound

Weight of grapefruit = $\frac{3}{4}$ pound = 0.75 pound

Weight of navel orange = $\frac{5}{8}$ pound = 0.625 pound

Weight of a pear = 0.5 pound

As,

0.45 < 0.5 < 0.625 < 0.75

So, The order of fruit from least to greatest weight is -

Apple , pear, navel orange, grapefruit

The Hamptons family has a fish tank holding 10,450 ml of water.The water is leaking at a rate of 270 ml per minute.

True [87]

The output would depend on the input so relating this to the question, the input is the time (in minute) and the output is the amount of water left in the tank

We can give a letter 't' for the time, the input, and f(t) for the output

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original amount of water in the tank is 10450, so this will be the fixed constant.
The amount of water lost per minute is 270 so this will be the term that varies depends on the variable of time, we write this as 270t

The function is given f(t) = 10450 - 270t
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given, t = 10
f(10) = 10450 - 270(10)
f(10) = 7750 ml

Answer: 0.2743

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable that represents the weight of bags of grasecks chocolate candoes.

X that follows normal distribution with, Mean = 4.3 ounces, Standard devaition = 0.05 ounces

The probability that a bag of these chocolate candies weighs less than 4.27 ounces : $P(X$
