Computer usage has increased over time. But has the increase been more linear or more exponential? In 1997, 22.2% of the populat

ion over three years of age, or about 60 million people, used the internet. In 1998, 32.7% of the population over three years of age, or about 90 million people, used the internet.
a. If the usage increased linearly, write the linear function that would give 60 million people in year 0 and 90 million in year 1.

That's an increase of 30,000,000 people in one year, a slope of 30 million and a good year for the internet.

If t is the year, and p is number of internet users,

p = 30000000(t - 1997) + 60000000

Answer: p = 30000000(t - 1997) + 60000000

As for linear versus exponential, one year of data can't really distinguish.

Write an equation in slope - intercept form passing through (2,5); slope 3 over 4
Ipatiy [6.2K]
We can use point slope form then convert to slope intercept

point slope
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=slope
(x1,y1) is a givn point
point is (2,5)
slope is 3/4
y-5=3/4(x-2)
y-5=3/4x-6/2
add 5
y=3/4x-3+5
y=3/4x+2

What is a two variable linear equation
True [87]

Answer: Linear equations in two variables. If a, b, and r are real numbers (and if a and b are not both equal to 0) then ax+by = r is called a linear equation in two variables. (The “two variables” are the x and the y.) The numbers a and b are called the coefficients of the equation ax+by = r.

A triangle has sides with lengths of 8 centimeters, 15 centimeters, and 17 centimeters. Is it a right triangle?
ycow [4]

Answer:

Yes it is!

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to know whether it is, use the pytheoream theory. a2+b2=c2

a is the shortest side, b is the second longest and c is the longest.

In this case, the equation will be:

8 sq + 15 sq = 17 sq

64 + 225 = 289

= It is a right-angled triangle!
