Write an equation for a line that is parallel to the graph of y=-3x+6 and passes through the point at (-4,7)

1 answer:

3 0

Parelell lines have the same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope
given
y=-3x+6
slope is -3

so
y=-3x+b is our equation
find b
use (-4,7)
x=-4 and y=7

7=-3(-4)+b
7=12+b
-5=b

y=-3x-5 is da equation

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as

$y=1963.56(1.14)^x$ which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:
