What is the slope of the line parallel to 3x + y = 12?

Answer:

slope = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Rearrange eqn into slope intercept form

slope intercept form: y = mx + b

where...

m = the slope

b = the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y axis)

3x + y = 12

y = -3x+12

2) Know parallel rule. A line that runs parallel has the same slope but a different y-intercept

So the slope is: -3

Answer:

x < 4

So the dot on the graph would be an open dot and the number line would be shaded to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

I do not see a number line, but

x < 4

So the dot on the graph would be an open dot and the number line would be shaded to the left.

A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 15% each hour. To the nearest hour, what is the ha
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining at the end of each hour is 0.85 of the amount at the start of the hour. You want to find the exponent such that ...

... 0.85^x = 0.5 . . . . . x = the number of hours until half is left

... x·log(0.85) = log(0.5) . . . . . take the log to turn it to a linear equation

... x = log(0.5)/log(0.85) ≈ 4.265024

Rounded to the nearest  hour, x = 4.

How do you change 24 2\5 into decimal?
seropon [69]
24 and 2/5=24+2/5
24=24

0.1=1/10
2/5=x/10
times both sides by 10
20/5=x
4=x
2/5=4/10=0.4


24 and 2/5=24+0.4=24.4

The number of bacteria in a culture doubles every 5 minutes. At first there are 10, after 5 minutes there are 20, after 10 minut
garik1379 [7]
The answer is 160 because as you stated in the question the number of bacteria doubles every five minutes, and after 10 minutes there are 40. Therefore, after 15 minutes there are 80 (40 doubled is 80), and after 20 (another 5 minutes), the number of bacteria is the double of 80, which is 160.
