1/6 pound of chocolate for each person ( 1/2 / 3 ).
Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
Answer:
the distance between points M and P
Step-by-step explanation:
-1+7=6

Answer:
The equation that best represents the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and passes through the point (-4, -2) is y = 3/4x + 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4y = 7 and (-4, -2)
First, solve for y in the equation:
3x - 4y = 7
-4y = -3x + 7
4y = 3x - 7
y = 3/4x - 7/4
m = 3/4 (This will be the slope of the parallel line.) and (-4, -2)
Use the point-slope equation to find the equation that will best represent a parallel line:
y − y1 = m(x − x1)
y - -2 = 3/4(x - -4)
y + 2 = 3/4x + 3 (the 4s cancel out)
(3/4 x 4/1 = 3)
y = 3/4x + 1
The graph that I attached is what these two equations would look like graphed. I am not sure what you mean by two options, I'm sorry!
The answer is -4 because -4^7=-16384
