The rate of change in this case is 50 lbs per box. The fixed amount that the elevator must carry is 210 lbs, which is George's weight. The amount that varies with additional boxes is 50 lbs per box, making it the rate of change. If this situation was graphed, George's weight would be the y-intercept and the rate of change would be the slope of the line.

Tony misplaced 7 77 stamps from his collection. He knows that each stamp of his is worth $ 0 . 1 5 $0.15dollar sign, 0, point, 1
denis23 [38]
I take it that only 7 stamps are misplaced and that we are asked for the total value of the stamps including those which have been misplaced. 
If each is worth $0.15 then, the total worth of 7 stamps is $1.05. Then, we add this value to the value of his remaining stamps, $5.55, the answer would be $6.60.

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula. x^2-4x+3=0
almond37 [142]
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x2−4x+3=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x−1)(x−3)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
x-1=0 or x-3=0

For this one add one on both sides
x−1+1=0+1 x=1
For this one add 3 on both sides
x−3+3=0+3. x=3

x=1 or x=3

Does the point (-4, 3) fall on the graph of this line? How do you know? Show your work. ( 2 points) PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLI
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the line goes through points (8,9) and (2,4), we can construct a line in slope-intercept form

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the Y-intercept.

The slope can be found using the two points provided:

\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

\frac{9 - 4}{8 - 2}

\frac{5}{6}

The line is now represented as

y = \frac{5}{6}x + b

To solve for b, we can plug in one of the two points:

y = \frac{5}{6}x + b

(9) = \frac{5}{6}(8) + b

4 = \frac{20}{3} + b

b = \frac{-8}{3}

We know have our line:

y = \frac{5}{6}x - \frac{8}{3}

To determine if the point (-4, 3) falls on this line, we just plug the numbers into the equation and see if it holds true:

y = \frac{5}{6}x - \frac{8}{3}

(3) = \frac{5}{6}(-4) - \frac{8}{3}

3 = \frac{-10}{3} - \frac{8}{3}

3 = \frac{-18}{3}

3 = -6

This does not hold true, so the point is not on the line.
