Scientists want to know the total trout population in a part of Lake Michigan. They tagged and released 200 trouts back into the

wild. Later, they found 60 trouts in that same part of Lake Michigan, 10 of which were tagged. Estimate the total trout population in that part of Lake Michigan to the nearest whole number.

The estimate would be 1200.

We will set up a proportion for this.  10 out of 60 of the sample were tagged, so that is the first ratio.  The 200 that were tagged would be in the numerator of the second ratio (10 was the portion tagged, and 200 is the portion tagged, so they both go on top).  We do not know the total number so we use a variable:

10/60 = x/200

Cross multiply:

10*x = 60*200
10x = 12000

Divide both sides by 10:
10x/10 = 12000/10
x = 1200

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (4, −1)?
Igoryamba
Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is 
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is
m= \frac{-1-4}{4-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{7}

Answer: - \frac{5}{7}

Find the values of x and y in the diagram​ and show work please it's for geometry class
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

x = 10

y = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the vertical angles theorem we know that x+ y +10 = 90, also simplified to x + y = 80

and 2x + y = 90

By using the substitution method on x + y = 80, it will be y = -x + 80

When you put into the equation 2x + y = 90 you will get 2x -x +80 = 90

Then it will simplify to x = 10

After that plug 10 into x + y = 80 to 10 + y = 80 and get y = 70

Find the height of triangle
Sophie [7]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 120 by two and get 60. Now do 120-60 to get 60. Set up proportion

60/x = x/60.

Cross multiply

x^2 = 3600

and now find the square root of 3600

60
