The number of species of coastal dune plants in australia decreases as the latitude, in °s, increases. There are 34 species at 1

1°s and 26 species at 44°s.1 (a) find a formula for the number, n, of species of coastal dune plants in australia as a linear function of the latitude, l, in °s. Round the slope to four decimal places and the intercept to two decimal places.

We have been given that the number of species of coastal dune plants in Australia decreases as the latitude, in °s, increases.

Further we know that there are 34 species at 11°s and 26 species at 44°s.

We can express the given information at two ordered pairs as shown below:

(n,l)=(11,34)\text{ and }(n,l)=(44,26)

Let us find slope of the line through these points:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{26-34}{44-11}=\frac{-8}{33}=-0.2424

Therefore, we can write the equation of line in slope intercept form as:

n=-0.2424l+b

Where b is the y intercept, and we can find its value using one of the two points.

34=-0.2424(11)+b\\34=-2.67+b\\b=34+2.67=36.67

Therefore, the required equation of the linear function is:

n=-0.2424l+36.67

The point A = (7,4) is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r = 3. What are the coordinates of A' ?
fomenos

Given:

The coordinates of point A are (7,4).

It is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r = 3.

To find:

The coordinates of A'.

Solution:

If a figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor k, then

(x,y)\to (kx,ky)

Here, the figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor 3, so the rule of dilation is given by:

(x,y)\to (3x,3y)

Using this rule, we get

A(7,4)\to A'(3(7),3(4))

A(7,4)\to A'(21,12)

Therefore, the coordinates of point A' are (21,12).

Help!!
tatiyna
Hello,



I dont care for points, Just glad to help! :D

And A slope iis only x*y=z. This mean's 
That you will basically be dividing top from side (NOY BOTTOM)
and be multiplying those 2.


Hope this helps
