Answer:

2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check all the possibilities. Necessarily, Hector's age in years must be prime, then we consider the years when this happens and test for the other members of the family.

Hector is 67 years old, so in 25 years he will be 92 years old. The prime numbers between 67 and 92 are 71, 73, 79, 83 and 89.

When Hector is 71 years old, four years have passed the Lupe is 65 years old, so this case fails.

When Hector is 73 years old, six years have passed. Lupe is 67 years old, an their daughters and grandson are 43, 37 and 13 years old. All of these are prime numbers, therefore in this year the statement holds.

When Hector is 79, twelve years have passed. Then, the eldest daughter is 49, which is not a prime number thus this case fails.

When Hector is 83, sixteen years have passed, so Lupe is 77 which is not prime. This case fails too.

Finally, when Hector is 89, 22 years have passed. Lupe is 83, the daughters are 59 and 53 resp; the grandson is 29. All of these are primes, so the statement is true.

A line passes through the point (10,9) and has a slope of 3/2. Write an equation in slope intercept form for this line
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The equation of line passing through (10,9) and having slope 3/2 is: y = \frac{3}{2}x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is given by:

y=mx+b

We are given

Slope = m = 3/2

Point = (10,9)

Putting the value of the slope in the equation we get

y = \frac{3}{2}x+b

b is the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept we have to put the point through which the line passes in the equation.

Putting (10,9) in the equation

9 = \frac{3}{2}(10) +b\\9 = 15+b\\b = 9-15\\b = -6

Putting b=-6 in the equation

y = \frac{3}{2}x-6

Hence,

The equation of line passing through (10,9) and having slope 3/2 is: y = \frac{3}{2}x-6

Use the graph to estimate the value of y when x = 2.5<br>​
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

7 ish

Step-by-step explanation:

if you look at where 2.5 would be on the X axis (in-between 2 and 3) and you look at the corresponding Y point, its somewhere near where 7 would be.
