Use the equation y=mx+b where m is the slope (how much it increases each time) and b is the y intercept (starting point).

Your equation would be: y=12x+0 because they eat 12 pounds each day and they start out having eaten 0 pounds.

To solve the equation, plug in the total amount of food for y and use algebra to solve for x:
250=12x
(divide by 12)
(250/12)=x
X=20.833

Their food would last approximately 20 days. (Make sure you round if required)

Consider the line y=9x-1.
OLEGan [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope=9

i)

y−y1=m(x−x1)

When line is parallel

y+5=9(x-6)

y+5 = 9x - 54

<h3>59 = 9x-y </h3>

When line is perpendicular

y+5=-1/9(x-6)

9(y+5)= -1(x-6)

9y + 45 = -x+6

<h3>x+9y = -39</h3>

Ricardo has a square hot tub. He wants to build a square pool next to it that is a dilation of the hot tub using a scale factor
ozzi

Answer:

\boxed{Side \ Length \ of \ hot \ tub = 4.8\ ft.}

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale Factor = 5

Also,

B'C' = 24 feet

Since both are squares so both have all sides equal.

Sqaure A'B'C'D' is dilated by a scale factor of 5

So,

AB = BC = CD = DA = 24/5 = 4.8 ft.

Mark values his drum set at $800 and ella values her guitar at $1,000. suppose that mark trades his drum set for ella's guitar.
Novosadov [1.4K]
If they made this trade, it would make sense that Mark would also have to give Ella $200. This is because the difference in value is that amount in the favor of Ella. You can see that by subtracting the two values from each other. 

$1000 - $800 = $200
