Kevin caught some fish. Of them 4/9 were herring, and 2/9 salmon. What was the total amount of fish, amount of herring and amoun

julia-pushkina [17]

There were 3 different fish caught, Salmon, Herring and Flounder.

4/9 were Herring, 2/9 were Salmon, 4/9 +2/9 = 6/9

This means 3/9 were Flounders ( 3/9 + 6/9 = 9/9 = 1)

3/9 can be reduced to 1/3.

1/3 of the fish were Flounders.

Divide the amount of flounders by the portion caught:

12 / 1/3 = 12 * 3/1 = 36 total fish.

Now you have total number of fish, multiply the total by each portion for each type of fish.

Total fish = 36

Herring = 4/9 x 36 = 16

Salmon = 2/9 x 36 = 8

Write a linear function f with the given values. f(0) = -2,f(4) = -3

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

f(x) = $-\frac{1}{4}$ x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line: m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

y - $y_{1}$ = m( x - $x_{1}$ )

f(x) = mx + b (b - is y-intercept)

(0, - 2) Coordinates of y-intercept

(4, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3+2}{4-0}$ = $-\frac{1}{4}$

f(x) =  $-\frac{1}{4}$  x - 2
