Y = 2x + 7
y = 2(4) + 7
y = 8 + 7
y = 15

y = 2x + 7
2 = 2x + 7
-7 -7
-5 = 2x
2 2
-2.5 = x

(x y) = (-2.5, 15)

Y=mx+b
lines are parallels so m=2

y=2x+b
line passing through the point (4,2), so x=4 y=2
put these value in equation
2=2*4+b
2=8+b
b=2-8
b=-6
y=2x-6
Answer: y=2x-6

Brandi solved 16 / 5 by using a related multiplication expression. What multiplication expression did she is?

klemol [59]

The given question is wrong.

Question:

Brandi solved $\frac{1}{6}\div 5$ by using a related multiplication expression. What multiplication expression did she is?

Answer:

The related multiplication expression is $$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$ .

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{1}{6}\div 5$ .

We can write 5 as a fraction with denominator 1.

$$ \frac{1}{6}\div5=\frac{1}{6}\div \frac{5}{1}$

Using the fraction rule $$\frac{a}{b}\div \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}$ ,

$$\frac{1}{6}\div \frac{5}{1}=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$

Now multiply the fractions using the rule $$\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}=\frac{a\times d}{b\times c}$ ,

$$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times1}{6\times5}$

Let us multiply the numbers in the numerator and denominator separately, we get

$$\frac{1\times1}{6\times5}=\frac{1}{30}$

Hence the related multiplication expression is $$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$ .

There is a drought and the oak tree population is decreasing at the rate of 5% per year. If the population continues to decrease

amid [387]

In approximately 10 years the oak tree population will be 50% of what it is. because 5 x 10 = 50. hope this helps :)

Gardener has 780 plants. He wants to plant there in such a way that the number of rows and the numbers of columns remains same.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Gardener will need 4 more plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gardener has 780 plants and wants to plant them in an array of n rows and n columns.

The number of plants needed to do that is:

$n*n=n^2$

He actually has 780 plants, thus it should occur:

$n^2=780$

Taking the square root:

n=27.9

Since n needs to be an integer, we round up n to get

n=28

But $28^2=784$ , 4 more than the actual number of plants, thus:

Gardener will need 4 more plants.

Note: There are other possible results for n. If we set n=29, then $n^2=841$ and Gardener would need 841-780=61 more plants, but the question asked for the minimum number of plants.

Help with converting vertex form to standard form :)

Sati [7]

$f(x) = 3(x - 2)^2 + 1\\\\f(x)=3(x^2-4x+4)+1\\\\f(x) = 3x^2-12x+12+1\\\\f(x) = 3x^2-12x+13$
