A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?

To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.

A store sells three types of note cards. There are three sizes of each type. Show two ways to find the total number of notecards
bonufazy [111]
Answer: There are 9 different types of note cards that the store sells.

We can use the Fundamental Counting Principle to determine the total number of options.

There are two different events in this problem. First, there are 3 kinds of cards. Second, there are 3 sizes for each kind.

Simply, multiply the 3 by the other 3 and you have 9 different options.

Just think, each card would have a small, medium and larger option. So there are 3 groups of 3 or 9 total options.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Gross income is money earned before taxes are taken from a paycheck

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross income is money earned before taxes are taken from a paycheck

Gross income refers to the total amount of money earned by an individual over a specific period of time usually a year before any deductions such as taxes is made.

Gross income includes income earned from all sources. It can also be called Gross pay on a paycheck.

For example, if an individual earns $100 in a year and is expected to pay a tax of 2%. The gross income is $100 before tax is deducted

The heaviest dinosaur is estimated to have welghed 2.8 x 10^5 pounds. The average car weighs about 4 x 10^3 pounds.
34kurt

Answer:

  70

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you want the ratio of the weights:

  (dino weight)/(car weight) = (2.8×10^5)/(4×10^3)

  = (2.8/4)×10^(5-3) = 0.7×10^2 = 0.7×100

  = 70

The heaviest dinosaur weighed about 70 times the weight of an average car.

_____

Your calculator can do arithmetic in scientific notation. So can any spreadsheet.

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  (10^a)/(10^b) = 10^(a-b)
