The correct answer is f(x)=-5+0.5x

Looking at the data, we can see that the data increases at a constant rate.  We can find this rate, the slope, using the formula
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using the first two ordered pairs, we have
m=(1-0.5)/(12-11) = 0.5/1 = 0.5

Writing this in point-slope form, y-y₁=m(x-x₁), we have
y-0.5=0.5(x-11)

Using the distributive property, we have
y-0.5=0.5x-0.5*11
y-0.5=0.5x-5.5

Adding 0.5 to both sides,
y-0.5+0.5=0.5x-5.5+0.5
y=0.5x-5

Which linear equation has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -2?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The number beside the x is the slope. The number at the end of the equation is the y-intercept.

All the answers are in this form:

y = mx + b

m is the slope.

b is the y-intercept.

With a 3 filled in for slope and -2 filled in for the y-intercept, you get:

y = 3x + -2

is the same as,

y = 3x - 2

Solve the system using elimination. 2x – 2y = –8 x + 2y = –1 pls help me -w-
padilas [110]

Answer:

(- 3, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 2y = - 8 → (1)

x + 2y = - 1 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations will eliminate the y- term, that is

3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 3

Substitute x = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

- 3 + 2y = - 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

2y = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 1

Solution is (- 3, 1 )

Which of the following is not a Pythagorean triple?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: D,(11,61,62)

Step-by-step explanation:28,45,53

53²=28²+45²

2,809= 784+2,025

         = 2,809

53²=2,809

(28,45,53) is a Pythagorean triple

16,63,65

65²=16²+63²

4225=256+3969

        = 4225

65²=4225

(16,63,65) is a Pythagorean triple

13,84,85

85²=13²+84²

7225=169+7056

        =7225

85²=7225

(13,84,85) is a Pythagorean triple

11,61,62

62²=11²+61²

3,844=121+3,721

        =3,842

62²=3,844

(11,61,62) is not a Pythagorean triple

1. Gold has a higher density than silver. This is shown by the equation D = M/V, where D is density, M is mass, and V is volume. This means that when the jeweler put an equal amount of mass in, he had to put a greater volume of silver to equal the same mass of gold. The total volume of the crown increased.

2. Archimedes discovered that the amount of volume he put in (whether his body, or the crown) would be equal to the rise in volume of the water level (that is, the new water level versus the old one before anything had been put in). Archimedes would have then gotten a block of gold that weighed the same as the crown and checked the volume rise. Then once he tested the crown, he would have seen that the volume rise was higher than expected, and he would know that the jeweler had included some silver.
