Answer: Choice C) -1/3
The given line has a slope of -1/3 so anything parallel to that given line is also going to have an equal slope (of -1/3)
To find the slope of that line shown, notice how we drop down 1 unit and the move to the right 3 units when we go from the left point to the right point. Alternatively, you can use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to get the same result.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the equation of a line with a slope of 3 that includes the point (0, 5).
We can use the slope-intercept form, given by:
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Notice that the given point (0, 5) is already the y-intercept. So, b = 5.
By substitution, we acquire:
Hence, our answer is B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The function s(x)=0.9(.82)^x models the number of subscription in tens of thousands where x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.
s(x) represents the number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.
0.9 in ten thousands represents the initial number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.
0.82 represents the rate at which the number of number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily is declining. The rate in percentage is 100 - 82 = 12% each year.
x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.
Answer:
x = 7000
y = 5600
(7000, 5600)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of equations means to find the point of intersection (graphically). You are finding what value of 'x' and what value of 'y' fits both equations.
x = y + 1400
0.08x + 0.05y = 840
We can solve using the method <u>substitution</u>, where you replace a variable in one equation with an equivalent expression.
<u>Since "x" is y + 1400, we can replace "x" in the second equation.</u>
0.08x + 0.05y = 840
0.08(y + 1400) + 0.05y = 840
Distribute over brackets by multiplying 0.08 with y, then 0.08 with 1400.
0.08y + 112 + 0.05y = 840 Collect like terms (with "y" variable)
112 + 0.13y = 840
Now isolate "y" in the simplified equation.
112 - 112 + 0.13y = 840 - 112 Subtract 112 from both sides
0.13y = 728
0.13y/0.13 = 728/0.13 Divide both sides by 0.13
y = 5600 Solved for y
We can substitute "y" with 5600 in any other equation that has "x".
x = y + 1400
x = 5600 + 1400 Add
x = 7000 Solved for x
You may express the answer as a coordinate, or an ordered pair (x, y).
The solution is (7000, 5600).
