Answer:

an equation of a line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation of a line. Lets walk through it.

y=1/3x+2

This is to find out what the Y coordinate would be when X is plugged in. So, if x was 6, you would take 1/3 of 6 to get 2, and add 2. The y intercept would be 4, since y=1/3(6)+2, y=2+2, y=4

Y=1/3x+2

This is what the slope is. If the slope is negative (ie. -3/4) the greater the x intercept the lower the y will be. (so if I had x=4 for a slope of -3/4, that would be y=-3/4(4)+2, y=-3+2, y=-1) But if the slope is positive (ie. 1/3) the greater the x value the greater the y value as well. (see graph attached below for positive)

Y=1/3x+2

This is the Y intercept. (This is NOT the y coordinate. This is only the coordinate of y if x=0) This number tells you where the Y intercept is. If it adds, the y intercept is positive. If it subtracts, the y intercept is negative.

Sorry if these explainations dont make sense. But, here is the graph for y=1/3x+2

The population in the town of Huntersville is presently 38,300. The town grows at an annual rate of 1.2%. Find the population of

Basile [38]

Hi there! So the situation that we are talking about for this is compounding, because the population is growing.. The formula for compounding something is P(1 + r)^t, with P representing the initial amount, r representing the rate, and t representing the time in years. First off, let's add the rate into 1. 1.2% is 0.012 in decimal form. 1 + 0.012 is 1.012. Now, because we are looking for the population after 4 years. We raise 1.012 to the 4th power. 1.012^4 is 1.04887093274. It's a long decimal, but do not delete this number from your calculator. Now, we multiply that number by 38,300 in order to get 40,171.7567238 or 40,172 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The population of Huntersville will be 40,172 people in 4 years.

1 is 384cm you multiply the 96 by 4 (because there is 96 4 times)

If I’m incorrect I’m sorry

For geometry:(<br><br> will give brainist to the correct answer!!!

Answer:

y = ⅔x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, would have the same slope as the line, 2x - 3y = 24.

Rewrite;

2x - 3y = 24

-3y = -2x + 24

Divide both sides by -3

y = ⅔x - 8

Thus, the slope of 2x - 3y = 24 is ⅔.

Therefore the line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, will have a slope (m) of ⅔.

Using point-slope form, we can generate an equation that passes through (-3, -7) and is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24.

Thus, substitute (a, b) = (-3, -7) and m = ⅔ into y - b = m(x - a)

Therefore:

y - (-7) = ⅔(x - (-3))

y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Multiply both sides by 3

3(y + 7) = 2(x + 3)

3y + 21 = 2x + 6

3y = 2x + 6 - 21

3y = 2x - 15

Divide both sides by 3

y = ⅔x - 5

When 12 is subtracted from 3 times a number,the result is 24. Find the number

trasher [3.6K]

I get:
24 = 3x-12
add 12 to both sides

36 = 3x

divide each side by 3 and you will get 12
