Answer:

140 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.

<u>Then we get following equations:</u>

<u>First part</u>

  • x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)
  • 7x -350 = 3y + 150
  • 7x = 3y + 500

<u>Second part</u>

  • x + 100 = 4(y - 100)
  • x + 100 = 4y - 400
  • x = 4y - 500

<u>Substitute x in first equation:</u>

  • 7(4y - 500) = 3y + 500
  • 28y - 3500 = 3y + 500
  • 28y - 3y = 500 + 3500
  • 25y = 4000
  • y = 4000/25
  • y = 160 ml

<u>Then finding x:</u>

  • x = 4*160 - 500
  • x = 640 - 500
  • x = 140 ml

Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the graph below
labwork [276]

Answer:

y = 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the slope (m) of the line the following points in the line, (0, 0) and (2, 20):

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{20 - 0}{2 - 0} = \frac{20}{2} = 10

y-intercept (b) is 0. The line intercepts the y-axis at 0. Thus, b = 0.

Substitute m = 10 and b = 0 in y = mx + b

The equation in slope-intercept form for the graph would be:

✅y = 1x + 0

y = 10x
