Answer:

f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

9x + 3y = 12

Putting this into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

9x + 3y = 12
3y = -9x + 12
y = -3x + 4

Replacing y with f(x)

f(x) = -3x + 4

Answer:

$Consider points (3,5) and (2,-5) from the graph \\ slope = \frac{( - 5 - 5)}{(2 - 3)} \\ m = 10 \\ in \: relation \: of \: (3,5) \: with \: y = mx + c \\ 5 = (10)(3) + c \\ 5 = 30 + c \\ c = - 25 \\ y = 10x - 25 \\ \frac{y}{5} = 2x - 5$

Pete took a sample of moviegoers to see how many are seeing a comedy. Sample size: 175 Number seeing a comedy: 42 Population: 1,

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Part A : c = n.p

Part B = 366 moviegoers

Step-by-step explanation: In part A, to predict the number of moviegoers, we have to find the proportion of the sample that does the activity, which will called p. Since p is a percentage, to determine how many moviegoers are seeing a comedy, you multiply it by the sample size, n.

Therefore: c = n.p

For part B, based on the the sample:

p = $\frac{42}{175}$ = 0.24
