What is tje equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (2,5) and (3,0) ?

1 answer:

4 0

In order to find a slope, there is an equation:

Y2-Y1/X2-X1

X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0

0-5= -5
3-2=1

Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.

Now, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, shift the original equation:

Original equation: y=-5x+b

Shifted equation: b=y+5x

Now, plug in one of the points.

Let's use (2,5)

b=5+5(2)

5*2=10
10+5=15

y-intercept=15

So, the full equation of the line would be:

y=-5x+15

You and your friend each collect rocks and fessis your friend collects three times as many roots and half as many fossils as you

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is 1 and 24 respectively

Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is 3 and 12 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Rocks you collect be x

Let the number of Fossils you collect be y

Then the total number pf objects you collected will be

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)

Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.

This can be written as

3x + y (1/2) = 15

3x + (y/2) = 15-------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

3(25 - y) + (y/2) = 15

75 - 3y + (y/2) = 15

Grouping the like terms we get,

75 - 15 = 3y = (y/2)

60 = ( 6y - y /2)

60 x 2 = 6y -y

120 = 5y

y = 120/5

y = 24

Substituting y value in equation(1) we get

x = 25 - 24

x= 1

y= 24

Friends collects 3 times rock

so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks

Also he collects half as many fossils

That is

y/2 = 24/2 = 12 fossils

Hope this help you! :)

The annual tuition at a specific college was $20,500 in 2000, and $45,4120

nika2105 [10]

Answer: the tuition in 2020 is $502300

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual tuition at a specific college was $20,500 in 2000, and $45,4120 in 2018. Let us assume that the rate of increase is linear. Therefore, the fees in increasing in an arithmetic progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = $20500

The fee in 2018 is the 19th term of the sequence. Therefore,

T19 = $45,4120

n = 19

Therefore,

454120 = 20500 + (19 - 1) d

454120 - 20500 = 19d

18d = 433620

d = 24090

Therefore, an

equation that can be used to find the tuition y for x years after 2000 is

y = 20500 + 24090(x - 1)

Therefore, at 2020,

n = 21

y = 20500 + 24090(21 - 1)

y = 20500 + 481800

y = $502300

Find the sum.

Strike441 [17]

You are gonna use the distributive property.

4(2.5g - 4) + 3(1.2g - 2)

So you are going to multiply 4 with everything inside the first set of parenthesis and your gonna multiply 3 with everything insides the second set of parenthesis.

4 x 2.5g - 4 x 4 + 3 x 1.2g - 3 x 2

10g - 16 + 3.6g - 6

You wanna combine like terms:

10 - 3.6g + 16 - 6

6.4g + 10

You answer is 6.4g + 10.

Hope this Helps!!
