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 :)

What is 9/20 equivalent to?
Over [174]
I am assuming you mean as a whole number, since that fraction can't be simplified down.  20 goes into 100 5 times, so we need to multiply 9 x 5.  That gives us 45 and 100, or the new fraction 45/100.  45/100 is equal to 0.45

Rationalise the denominator of (12)/(\sqrt(10)+\sqrt(7)+\sqrt(3))
jasenka [17]

Answer:

\frac{12}{\sqrt{10} +\sqrt{7} +\sqrt{3} }=\frac{6\sqrt{147} +6\sqrt{63}-6\sqrt{210}  }{21 }

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{12}{\sqrt{10} +\sqrt{7} +\sqrt{3} }

=\frac{12\left( \sqrt{10} -\left( \sqrt{7} +\sqrt{3} \right)  \right)  }{(\sqrt{10}+(\sqrt{7} +\sqrt{3 } ))( \sqrt{10} -( \sqrt{7} +\sqrt{3}))}

=\frac{12\left( \sqrt{10} -\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{3} \right)  }{\sqrt{10^2} -(\sqrt{7} +\sqrt{3})^2}

\frac{12\left( \sqrt{10} -\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{3} \right)  }{10-(10+2\sqrt{21} )} }

=\frac{12\left( \sqrt{10} -\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{3} \right)  }{-2\sqrt{21} }

=\frac{-6\left( \sqrt{10} -\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{3} \right)  }{\sqrt{21} }

=\frac{-6\left( \sqrt{10} -\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{3} \right)  }{\sqrt{21} } \times\frac{\sqrt{21} }{\sqrt{21} }

=\frac{-6\sqrt{21} \left( \sqrt{10} -\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{3} \right)  }{21 }

=\frac{-6\sqrt{210} +6\sqrt{147} +6\sqrt{63}  }{21 }

=\frac{6\sqrt{147} +6\sqrt{63}-6\sqrt{210}  }{21 }

<u><em>Remark</em></u>:

You can simplify moreover if you want to.
