Use the table to draw the graph of height(y-axis) against week(x-axis).
The graph is a straight line. 
Find the gradient of the graph as the first step.
Gradient = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

              = (17-12)/(4-2)
              = 5/2
Use this gradient to find the equation of the line. Use one of the point from the table (e.g. (8,27)) and another general point (x,y).

∴5/2=(y-27)/(8-x)
   5/2 (x-8) = y-27
    (5/2)x - 20 = y-27
    
   y=(5/2)x - 20 + 27

  y = (5/2)x + 7

The answer is A

Answer:
y = \frac{5}{2} x + 7

Explanation:
The general form of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

1- getting the slope:
slope can be calculated as follows:
m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

I will use the points (2,12) and (8,27) to get the slope. You can choose any other two points and you will get the same answer.
m = \frac{27-12}{8-2} =  \frac{5}{2}

The equation of the line now is:
y = \frac{5}{2} x + c

2- getting the y-intercept:
To get the y-intercept (c), we will use any of the given points, substitute in teh equation and solve for c.
I will use the point (6,22) as follows:
y = \frac{5}{2} x + c

22 = \frac{5}{2} (6) + c

22 = 15 + c
c = 7

Based on teh above, the equation of the line is:
y = \frac{5}{2} x + 7

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 = 1/9 + x ...multiply by LCD of 72

9 = 8 + 72x

9 - 8 = 72x

1 = 72x

1/72 = x

1/8 = 1/10 + x....multiply by 40

5 = 4 + 40x

5 - 4 = 40x

1 = 40x

1/40 = x

1/8 = 1/11 + x....multiply by 88

11 = 8 + 88x

11 - 8 = 88x

3 = 88x

3/88 = x

can all unit fractions be made in more then 1 way like this ?

not to sure because that last one....because it has been that a unit fraction is the outcome of adding together 2 unit fractions...but that last one...3/88 is not a unit fraction

Answer: v=-18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you want to solve for v, we need to use our algebraic properties.

\frac{v}{3}+2=\frac{4}{5}                 [subtract both sides by 2]

\frac{v}{3}=-\frac{6}{5}                    [multiply both sides by 3]

v=-\frac{18}{5}

Now, we know that v=-18/5.

1. Which would be a more helpful for solving the system: adding the two equations or subtracting
ira [324]

Answer:

1) Subtracting one from the other

2) x = 0.375 and y = 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1 :

\frac{2x+1}{2y}=7\\\\

Equation 2:

\frac{6x-1}{2y}=5

To solve these equations by the Elimination method we multiply equation 1 with 6 and multiply equation 2 with 2 so now,

\frac{2x+1}{2y} =7\\\\2x+1=14y\\\\Multiplying\ Equation\ 1\  with\ 6\\\\12x+6=84y

Now for the second equation:

\frac{6x-1}{2y}=5\\\\6x-1=10y\\\\Multiplying\ equation\ 2\ with\ 2 \\\\12x-2=20y

Now subtracting equation 2 from equation 1

12x+6=84y\\\\12x-2=20y\\\\Subtracting\ leads\ to\\12x-12x+6-(-2)=84y-20y\\0+8=64y\\8=64y\\8/64=y\\0.125=y

now insert this value of y into any equation

lets insert it into equation 1

\frac{2x+1}{2y} =7\\\\2x+1=14y\\2x+1=14(0.125)\\2x+1=1.75\\2x=1.75-1\\2x=0.75\\x=0.75/2\\x-0.375
