Part A:
Express the given number of hours and velocities of the cyclist as ordered pairs. The time (number of hours) can be our abscissa (x-coordinate) and the velocities can be our ordinate (y-coordinate). The coordinates are therefore (2, 18) and (4, 4). The equation that can be formed in this is established through the two-point equation.
(y - y₁) = ((y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁))(x - x₁)
Substitute the known variables.
(y - 18) = ((4 - 18)/(4 - 2))(x - 2)
Simplifying the equation,
y - 18 = -7(x - 2)
y = -7x + 32
<em>ANSWER: y = -7x + 32
</em>Part B: This can be graph in the Cartesian plane and numbers 1 to 8 can be substituted to y and take note of the ordered pairs for each point. The slope of the line should be -7 and the y-intercept is 32.<em>
</em>
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1,-8) sorry if you needed an explanation i am not good at that. Hope this helped!!
Answer:
45.45 batteries
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of any random battery being defective is 1 in 11, the number of expected defects in a population of 500 batteries is given by:

45.45 batteries are expected to be defective.
There are 2 pints in one quart. so 32 x 2 = 64.
64 pints((:
You can substitute a number in for x and compare the answer choices (not the most efficient way but it's how I would do it). Let's just say x = 5. Then the expression would equal 0.25819889. Substitute 5 in for x is the answer choices and see which one is the same.
A) simplified is 0.004 repeating
B) simplified is 0.25819889
C) simplified is 0.12
D) simplified is 1.341640786
We can see that B is the right answer
