To solve a Linear equation we need to find the slope:

-4-1 / -2-8 =1/2

now that we have the slope we can find our x and y
y-1=1/2(x-8)
y=x/2-3

If the area of a park is exactly halfway between 2.4 and 2.5 acres what is the area of the park

Paul [167]

Get the distance between two acres.

2.5 - 2.4 = 0.1

Divide the diffence by 2
0.1 / 2 = 0.05 - Halfway between them.

Therefore, 0.05 must be taken from 2.5 acres. it must be added to 2.4 acres to get the exact area of the park.

2.5 - 0.05 = 2.45
2.4 + 0.04 = 2.45 acres

OR

Simply get the average of the two to get the area since it is exactly halfway between the two acres of land.

2.5 + 2.4 = 2.9 / 2 = 2.45 acres

How many solutions are there to the following equation?

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

D) infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x-3 ) - 3x = 8x - 15 - 6x

5x - 3x - 15 = 8x - 6x - 15

2x - 15 = 2x - 15

2x = 2x

Since, equations of both lines are same. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Modeling With Functions</u>

It's a common practice to try to mathematically represent the relation between two or more variables. It allows us to better understand the behavior of the phenomena being observed and, more importantly, to be able to predict future values.

The specific situation stated in the question relates how Taylor buys nail polish for $3.95 each, with a maximum of $30 to spend. If x is the number of nail polish purchased, then the total cost will be

$C_t=3.95x$
