Y = (-3/7)x + 4
Looking at the graph, you can see the trend line plotted. And conveniently, there are a couple of points on the trend line that are indicated. Those points being (0,4) and (7,1). The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:y = ax+b
Looking at the points available, the point (0,4) already gives us the y intercept since x is equal to 0. So our equation becomes:
y = ax + 4
Now we need to determine a which is the slope. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. So let's do that
(1-4)/(7-0) = -3/7
And now our equation becomes:
y = (-3/7)x + 4
And given formatting issues, the first option available is the correct one.
Answer:
3mph
Step-by-step explanation:
his speed per hour will be 3 miles per hour
If we are to write this equation in slope-intercept form, it will be in y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept. We need then to find the slope of the line using 2 points on the line and filling in the slope formula to find the slope. One of the points we can use is (0, 3) which is also the y intercept. The y-intercept is found where x = 0. Where x = 0, y = 3. So b = 3. Now for the slope we will use (0,3) and (4,4):
. Using that m value and that b value we have the equation
. There you go!
Eight tenths minus five tenths equals three tenths.
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
Volume of a cylinder = pi * r^2 * h
Volume of a cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
Total Height = 47
Height of the cone = 12
Height of the cylinder = 35
If the top half is filled with sand, then:
volume (sand) = pi * 4^2 * 36
volume (cone) = 1/3 * pi * 4^2 * 12
Total volume = 1960.353816 cubic millimeters
353816 / (10 * pi) = 62.4 seconds.
It will take 62.4 seconds until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass.
