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

PLEASE HELP!!! Show your work too, please!
dimulka [17.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

first fish tank: 95-4x

second fish tank: 40+5x

1. Define variable

The variable x represents the number of days.

2. Write the inequality

<em>95-4x=40+5x</em>

<em />

3. You probably don't need the answer but I am just going to solve.

The first fish tank will have less water than the second fish tank after 7 days.

<em>95-4x=40+5x </em>

<em>95-4(7)=40+5(7)</em>

<em>95-28=40+35</em>

<em>67=75</em>

<em>Since the first equation (95-4x) represents the first fish tank, and the second equation (40+5x) represents the second fish tank, the solution shows how the amount of water in the first fish tank is less than the amount of water un the second fish tank after 7 days.</em>

Mrs.smells math class has 20 questions worth 100 points. if the multiple choice are worth 3 points and the short answer is worth
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Let, Number of multiple choice = x
Number of short answer question = y

Now, x + y = 20
& 3x + 11y = 100

Multiply 1st equation by 3, and subtract from eq,2, 
3x + 3y = 60
After subtraction, 
8y = 40
y = 40/8
y = 5

Now, substitute in eq (1), 
x + 5 = 20
x = 15

In short, There are 15 Multiple choice & 5 short answer questions

Hope this helps!
