To solve this problem, we can begin by analyzing the graph and then eliminating incorrect answers. By looking at the graph, we can see that it has a positive correlation (the graph is increasing from left to right), which tells us that it has a positive slope. Using this knowledge, we can eliminate answer choices C and D, which both suggest equations with a negative slope (which would mean that the line was decreasing from left to right).
Next, we must analyze the slope. Answer A suggests that the slope is 3/2, meaning that the line rises 3 units for every 2 units it goes across. Answer B suggests that the slope is 1/2, meaning that the line rises 1 unit for every 2 units that it goes across. If we look at the graph, let's say at the point (0,3), the next closest point is 3 units up and 2 units across, which lets us know that the slope is positive 3/2.
Therefore, your answer is A. y = 3/2x + 3 (which is confirmed by the point we recognized, (0,3), which is the y-intercept of the equation).
Hope this helps!
Answer:
y = -1/4x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
Use slope equation m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
b is the y intercept : -6
Answer:-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 +-4 is -5 and 6/7 + 1/7 =1 so -5 +1=-4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle WXY is a right angle triangle.
From the given right angle triangle
WY represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
With ∠W as the reference angle,
WX represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
XY represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine WY, we would apply the Sine trigonometric ratio
Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Sin 36 = 5/WY
WY = 5/Sin36 = 5/0.5878
WY = 8.5 to the nearest tenth
