Answer: 12a.) slope is 125, y-intercept is 50 (started at 50 ft)
12b.) f(3) = 425 feet
12c.) 3.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
12a.) The slope equation is y = mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.
12b.) to find f(3) you could either plug it into the equation given (125x+50) or pretend there is a vertical line at 3 on the x axis, and where it crosses the line given would be the answer.
12c.) He is climbing a 500 ft cliff, and according to the graph, it takes him 3.6 hours to do it. Another way to find this answer would be to find f(3.6), which is indeed 500 ft.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1448 Pounds per truck
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 2896 by 2
If you haven't learned long division yet, try breaking up the number and dividing it by 2 like this:
2000/2=1000
800/2=400
90/2=45
6/2=3
Then, add them up and solve from there: 1000+400+45+3=1400+48=1448

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it would be immensely helpful to know the equation of this parabola, we need to figure it out before we can continue. We have the work form of a positive upwards-opening parabola as

where a is the leading coefficient that determines the steepness of lack thereof of the parabola, x and y are coordinates of a point on the graph, and h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. We know the vertex: V(-3, -3), and it looks like the graph goes through the point P(-2, -1). Now we will fill in the work form equation and solve for a:

which simplifies a bit to

and
-1 = a(1) - 3. Therefore, a = 2 and our parabola is

Now that know the equation, we can find the value of y when x = -3 (which is already given in the vertex) and the value of y when x = -4. Do this by subbing in the values of x one at a time to find y. When x = -3, y = -3 so the coordinate of that point (aka the vertex) is (-3, -3). When x = -4, y = -1 so the coordinate of that point is (-4, -1). The average rate of change between those 2 points is also the slope of the line between those 2 points, so we will use the slope formula to find it:

And there you have it! I'm very surprised that this question sat unanswered for so very long! I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier!
