Answer:
1,966 I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) The percentage of adults who smoke are decreasing with time. b) the equation that best described this data is y=-0.3364x+22.809 (R^2=0.859) in which y is the percentage of adults who smoke and x the number of years. c) the percentage of adults who smoke will be 19.8% and it will not meet the expected 12%, it would take 32 years to reach that value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data can be plotted to which years is the independent variable and percentage of adults who smoke is the dependent variable. The linear trendline that described this data has a negative slope which indicates that the percentage of adults is decreasing with time. In order to determine if the OSH target is being met, the x is replaced by 9 which is the goal period of nine years. The y is 19% which is higher than the 12% goal. In order to know the period it will take to the reach the goal of 12%, the y is replaced by 12 in the curve and the x is the answer in years = 32 years.

Answer:
5x -y = -37
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:
A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5
B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1
Then the constant C can be found using either point.
5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37
The equation of the line is ...
5x -y = -37

<em>Additional comment</em>
This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.
The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.
To find the length of the side opposite the angle while knowing the hypotenuse we can use the sine function:
sin(53) = (side opposite angle of 53 degrees) / hypotenuse
sin(53) = x / 24
x = 24 sin(53)
x = 19.16

Because a function must pass the vertical line test , a function can have at most one y -intercept .
The y -intercept is often referred to with just the y -value.
