Answer:
f(x) = -1/3x +23/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the linear regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to show you the equation of the line through these points:
f(x) = -1/3x +23/3
__
Approaching this in the usual way, we recognize we have points ...
(-1, 8) and (5, 6)
The slope of the line through those points is ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (6 -8)/(5 -(-1)) = -2/6 = -1/3
Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...
y - 8 = -1/3(x +1)
Adding 8 gives us a form we can use for a function definition:
f(x) = -1/3(x +1) +8
f(x) = -1/3x +7 2/3
Answer:
The angle z is 130 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
A straight line is 180 degrees.
Now think about how that line looks, you cut 50 degrees off of the whole 180.
So the equation is 180-50=z
z=130
I hope I have been of assistance to you, have a good day.
Answer: with 133.33 acres of trees
Step-by-step explanation:
4 acres of trees, is a 97% decrease of the previous amount.
This means that if the previous amount was X, then 4 acres is 3% (or 0.03 in decimal form) of X, or:
4 acres = 0.03*X
Now we can solve this for X as:
X = 4acres/0.03 = 133.33 acres
The illegal loggers got away with 133.33 acres of trees
Yes because it is a 90 degree angle which is a right angle
