The correct answer is Choice A.

You can see from the graph that the y-intercept is 50 because it cross on the left at 50.

To find the slope, we can use the following two points (0, 50) and (20, 110). This will give a slope of 3.

Put the 50 and 3 together and you will have the equation:
y = 3x + 50

Answer:

y = 3x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the y-intercept (0, 50) and an estimated point (40, 170) into the slope formula and simplify.

m =  

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

m =  

170 - 50

40 - 0

m = 3

Substitute slope and y-intercept into slope- intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = 3x + 50

The slope represents the change in the number of cars in the parking garage per minute, which is 3.  

To find the number of cars in the parking garage at 8:30 a.m., substitute 30 into the equation for x (number of minutes after 8:00 a.m.) and simplify:  

y = 30(3) + 50 = 140

To find the number of cars in the parking garage at 9:00 a.m., substitute 60 into the equation for x (number of minutes after 8:00 a.m.) and simplify:  

y = 60(3) + 50 = 230

Find the difference: 230 - 140 = 90 cars

Using the porpotions: WHIP= (Walks+Hits) divide by Innings Pitched. The pitcher wants to lower his WHIP from 1.53 to 1.3. How ma
BaLLatris [955]
This relates to ur previous question....there were 85 innings last question and 130 walks + hits which gave a whip score of 1.53......so if he wants to lower his whip (without changing his walks or hits) to 1.3....
130 / (85 + x) = 1.3....multiply both sides by (85 + x)
130 = 1.3(85 + x)
130 = 110.50 + 1.3x
130 - 110.50 = 1.3x
19.5 = 1.3x
19.5 / 1.3 = x
15 = x

he would have to pitch 15 more innings without any walks or hits to reach a goal of 1.3 whip score. This is not a reasonable goal.....have u ever seen a baseball game where a pitcher pitched 15 innings without any walks or hits ? And since a game consists of 9 innings....he would be 3 innings short of 2 games (thats if they dont go into overtime), and he would have to pitch a no hitter....and that is highly unlikely.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

10560 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 sides are 48 feet, then we are left with

220-2*48=124 feet for the remaining side pieces.

\frac{124}{2} =62 feet.

So our dimensions must be 48 x 62.

This gives us an area of

220*48=10560ft^{2}

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3 . If there was 40 red cars , how many blue cars were there ?
Bas_tet [7]
The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
