Answer:

A = 12 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = base * height / 2

The triangle might look weird and doesn't look like it has a base, but if you look at the left side you see there is a straight line which means there is a base, so we flip the picture until we see that the flat line on the bottom or the base.

The base is 4 units.

To find the height, we don't need a straight line, we just need to see how the tall the triangle is, to do that you must start from the lowest point and count up to the highest point.

You now get 6 units.

A = bh/2

A = 4*6/2

A = 24/2

A = 12 square units

Which would be an equivalent way to write y= 2 - 3x ?

The answer is B, because the numbers in the equation are 2, and -3x. The signs have to stay with the numbers they are with. So if you move the 3 to the front you have to keep the negative with it.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as

$y=1963.56(1.14)^x$ which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:
