Answer:

y = 600x + 3659

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of the linear equation:

y = mx + b

Given :

x = 0 represents 1992

x = 0  , y = 3659

So, x value for 1997 becomes:

x = 1997-1992 = 5

at x = 5, y = 6659

Plugging in x = 0, y = 3659 in y = mx+b

3659 = m(0) + b

b = 3659

Plugging in x = 5, y = 6659 and b = 3659

6659 = m(5) + 3659

Solving for m:

m(5) = 6659-3659

5m = 3000

m = 3000/5 = 600

Now plug in the values of unknowns m and b in general equation:

y = 600x + 3659

State whether the following is reasonable or not. Explain your answer. Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The statement is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.

We cannot give more than what we have.

lets understand it mathematically.

suppose i have x stamp.

according to question, i have to give 130% of my stamp collection

130% of x = 130/100 x = 1.3x

so, i have to given 1.3x stamp while i do have only x stamp which does not make any sense.

maximum i can give is x stamp.

x stamp in percentage of my total stamp collection which is also x will be

= x/x*100 = 100%

Thus, maximum one can give is 100% of what he has.

Thus, we can say that Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection is not reasonable.

A triangular pane of glass has a height of 30 inches and an area of 270 square inches. what is the length of the base pane
Tems11 [23]
The equation for the area of a triangle is A= b*h /2. So, plug in your known variables, and you get 270in^2= b*30 /2. First you multiply by 2 to cancel out the division for 2, which gets you 540= b* 30. To get "b" by itself, divide both sides by 30, giving you <u>18=b</u>.

To check this, plug in your new known variable, as 270= 18* 30 /2. This will equal as 270=270, confirming 18in as the correct measurement.

the ratio of the angle measures of a triangle are 3:3:4 what angle measures the triangles classification ​
TEA [102]

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of the ratio=3+3+4=10

now,

angle I = 3/10×180=54

angle II= 3/10×180=54

angle III=4/10×180=72

that shows th given triangle is isoceles
