Let x = number of years between 1990 and 2000.
Rainbow smelt:
Initial population = 227
Average yearly rate of change = -19.76
The linear function that models the population is
y₁ = 227 - 19.76x
Bloater fish
Initial population = 1052
Average yearly rate of change = -92.57
The linear function that models the population is
y₂ = 1052 - 92.57x
When the two populations are equal, then y₁ = y₂.
That is
227 - 19.76x = 1052 - 92.57x
(92.57 - 19.76)x = 1052 - 227
72.81x = 825
x = 11.33 years
= 11 years, 0.33*12 months
= 11 years, 4 months
Add x to 1990 to obtain the year April 2011.
Answer:
x = 11.33 years.
This occurs in April 2001.
Answer:
The rate of change or slope m = -50
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the line equation

where
- m is the rate of change or slope
Given that there is $500 in Holly's bank account.
Thus, the y-intercept b = 500
It is stated that she takes out $50 from her account each month but doesn't put money back in.
It means the rate of change or slope is decreasing.
Thus, the rate of change or slope m = -50
<u>EXTRA BONUS!</u>
We can also determine the line equation by substituting m = -50 and b = 500 in the slope-intercept form

y = -50x + 500
Here:
The slope m = -50
The y-intercept = 500
The answer is 5.2 because if you do 12.60 - 10 it’s 2.6 so you add another 2.6 because it’s 2.6 for a half a pound so if you add the two half of pounds it will add up to one pound so it will be 2.6 + 2.6= 5.2 so basically 5.20$
<h3>hello!</h3>
What is
of 12?
In order to find it, we should divide 12 by 4:-
3
Now, solve our word problem:-
Matthew bought 12 roses.
of these roses were white.
And we already know how to solve this problem :)
Hence,
