The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:
substitute the coordinates of the points (8, 0) and (20, 12) to the formula:
y = 1x + b = x + b
Put the coordinates of the point (8, 0) to the equation of a line:
0 = 8 + b <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>
-8 = b
<h3>Answer: y = x - 8</h3>
Hey there!
"9 pounds more than" means that you'll be adding 9 to the expression.
"half the weight w" means that you'll be calculating half of w each time you solve the equation, or 0.5w.
Your entire expression will be 0.5w + 9.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Answer (B) 2/3
Explanation: the multiplicative rate is the ratio of the values y(k)/y(k+1) (with k being the index). This ratio must be the same for the function to be exponential. We can take y(2)/y(1) = 4/6 = 2/3.
We can use 2/3 to verify the remaining entries:
x=3: 4*2/3 = 8/3 = y(3)
x=4: (8/3)*(2/3)=16/9=y(3)
