Step-by-step explanation: To evaluate an expression means simplifying it down to a number and usually you will be given variables to substitute in and evaluate.

For example, let's evaluate the expression 3y + 7 when y = 2.

We simply multiply 3 x 2 and add 7 or 3(2) + 7.

3 x 2 is 6 so we have 6 + 7 which is 13.

Write the equation of the lines resented below in slope-intercept form

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

mx = slope

b = y-intercept

We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.

To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.

Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.

1 - 0 / 3 - 1

1 / 2

The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.

The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:

y = 0.5x

Answer:

A) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

You use x= -b/2a in order to get your maximum so x= -10/ 2(-5) and you get x=1. You plug 1 into the function as h(1)=-5(1)^2 + 10(1)+ 20 which gets you 25

Answer:

The maximum height of the volleyball is 12.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the volleyball, h(t), is modeled by this equation, where t represents the time, in seconds, after that ball was set :

$h(t)=-16t^2+20t+6$ ....(1)
