Answer:
The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)
m = 6/-3
m = -2
Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -2(x - 0)
y - 5 = -2x
y = -2x + 5
Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.
y = -2x + 5
15 = -2(a) + 5
10 = -2a
-5 = a
And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)
y = -2x + 5
b = -2(2) + 5
b = -4 + 5
b = 1
Answer:
r can be any number -1.5 to 9.4999999
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 240 people get the news from social media
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their news elsewhere is 3:7
Total ratio is the sum of the proportion of those that get their news from social media and those that got their news elsewhere.
It becomes 3+7 = 10
Total number of people in the town is 800
To determine the number of people that got their news from social media, we will divide the proportion of those that get their news from social media by the total ratio and multiply by the total number of people in the town. It becomes
3/10 × 800 = 240
Answer: 41
Explanation: Use the equation. If you put the x value, which is 5, into the equation, you can solve.
4(5)+21
4 x 5 is 20
20+21=41
hope this helps!!
