What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation 3x+4y=12?

Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)

(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)


Isolate the "y" in the equation

3x + 4y = 12       Subtract 3x on both sides

4y = 12 - 3x        Divide 4 on both sides

y=3-\frac{3}{4}x  or   y=-\frac{3}{4} x+3   The slope is -3/4


For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also -\frac{3}{4}

What is the median of the data set?<br><br><br><br> 9<br> 8.5<br> 8<br> 10
Allushta [10]

Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you write out the data set, it looks like this:

5, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10

The median means the exact middle of the data set. In this case, it falls between the 8 and the 9, so the middle would be 8.5, so that's the median of the set. I hope this helps :)

A bean plant grows at a constant rate for a month. After 10 days, the plant is
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B. y - 35 = 2(x - 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the plant, y, after x days could be modeled by the equation

<h3>y-y0=k(x-xo)     (1),</h3><h3>where y0 was the initial height at 'x0'th. day, and k is the constant of proportionality.</h3><h3>From equation (1), k could be evaluated as follows:</h3><h3>k=(y-y0)/(x-x0) </h3><h3>From the problem statement, we may determine k by plugging in the given values, e.g. y0= 35, x0=10, y=55, x=20.</h3><h3>Thus,</h3><h3>k=(55-35)/(20-10)=2</h3><h3>Therefore, the model equation becomes</h3><h3>y-35=2(x-10)</h3><h3></h3>
