A farmer caught some wild pigs to use as founders for a domestic herd. The farmer wants all of her pigs to have one distinctive

color. Most of the wild pigs are brown, but she catches a few with red hair and a few with black hair. The farmer plans to breed either the black-haired or the red-haired pigs to establish a pure-breeding herd (eliminating all other colors). Black hair (B) is dominant over brown (W). Black (B) and brown (W) are dominant over red (R). If the farmer wants her whole herd to reach its new color in as few generations as possible, should she breed for red-haired pigs, or should she breed for black-haired pigs? Why?

Answer: Breed for black-haired pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

Now according to the statement, the farmer catches  wild pigs and mostly are brown.

Since black hair is dominant over brown and also black and brown are dominant over red,  this implies that red is the least dominant color meaning if breeding occurs, there would be less chance of getting red colored pigs.

She wants to breed either black or red haired pigs and since black is more dominant so she should breed the black ones with the brown ones or with themselves so she would eventually get pure-breeding herd i.e. of black color.

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points : (4 , -1 ) and (0 , -3)
Sergio [31]

Answer:

B. y= 1/2 x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

base equation: y= mx+ b

slope(m) equation: \frac{y_{2}-y_{2}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

y2= -1    y1= -3

x2= 4     x1= 0

\frac{-1 - (-3)}{4-0} =\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

y- intercept: -3

found by taking the y from (0,-3)

Write and solve a system of equations to determine how many tickets were sold before and at the music festival. PLEASE HELPPP
strojnjashka [21]

b = number of tickets sold before

a = number of tickets sold after

cost of a ticket = number of tickets times cost per ticket

before cost = 39.95b

after cost = 54.95a

total cost = 925000

39.95b + 54.95a = 925000

total number tickets = 20000

b + a = 20000

we have

39.95b + 54.95a = 925000

b + a = 20000

multiply second equation by -39.95 and add to first equation

39.95b + 54.95a = 925000

-39.95b-39.95a = -799000 +

0b+15a = 126000

15a = 126000

divide bot sides by 15

a = 8400

sub back

b + a = 20000

b+8400 = 20000

minus 8400 both sides

b = 11600

11,600 tickets sold before

8400 tickets sold after
