Answer:
the desired equation is y = -7x + 48
Step-by-step explanation:
As we go from (6, 6) to (8, -8), x (the "run") increases by 2 while y (the "rise") increases by 14. Thus, the slope is m = rise/run = -14/2 = -7.
The slope intercept form of the equation of a straight line is y = mx + b. Here we need to find b.
y = mx + b becomes 6 = -7(6) + b, or 48 = b.
Thus, the desired equation is y = -7x + 48
Answer:
Dependent Variable: Height of bounce
Independent Variable: Type of ball
Step-by-step explanation:
Dependent variable is what is being tested while the independent variable is what changes in the experiment or what causes the dependent variable results to change.
Calculate the volume of each shape.
Volume of rectangle = 6 x 5/6 x 1 2/6 = 6 2/3 cubic inches.
Volume of cube = 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216 cubic inch.
Now divide the volume of the rectangle by the volume of the cube:
6 2/3 / 1/216 = 1440
It will take 1.440 cubes to fill the rectangle.
