Answer:

  33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people that must be fed has increased from 4 to 6, so is 6/4 = 3/2 as many as planned.

Assuming the additional people eat the food at the same rate as the original people, the time and number of people are assumed to be inversely proportional. That is, the time the food will last is 2/3 of the originally expected time. It has decreased by 1/3 × 100% = 33.3%.

___

If you like, you can count rations. For four people for 12 days, at 3 rations per person per day, a total of 144 rations are needed. When the number of people becomes 6, the number of days that will last is ,,,

  (144 rations)/(6 persons)/(3 rations/person/day) = 8 days

The percentage change in trip days is ...

  (8 -12)/12 × 100% = -4/12 × 100% = -33.3% . . . a decrease of 33.3%

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A). From the graph attached,

    Arrow AB represents the RISE and arrow BC represents the RUN.

B). RUN from point A to B (Horizontal distance) = 2 units

    Rise from point A to B (Vertical distance) = -4 [Since, downwards arrow represents negative notation]

    Slope of the line segment AB = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

                                                       = \frac{-4}{2}

                                                       = -2

   Therefore, slope of the line = slope of the line segment AB = -2

    Option D will be the correct option.

Equation for y and what if equals too
katen-ka-za [31]

The answer is y = 35x + 20.

In order to find this, start with two ordered pairs. For the purpose of this problem, we'll use (1, 55) and (2, 90). Now we use the slope formula to find the value next to x in the equation.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

In this equation (x1, y1) is the first ordered pair and (x2, y2) is the second. Plug in to the equation and solve.

m = (90 - 55)/(2 - 1)

m = 35/1

m = 35

Now that we have the slope, plug that into the equation along with either point to find the intercept (the last number).

y = mx + b

55 = 35(1) + b

55 = 35 + b

20 = b

Now that we have the slope and intercept, we can use each to fill in those blanks.

y = 35x + 20
