Answer:

C. height of trees (y) = 0.5 × amount of rainfall (x)

Step-by-step explanation:

y - intercept = 0

Slope: (10-0)/(20-0) = ½

Given:

Given that the graph that shows the amount of rainfall( in centimeters) and the height of the trees( in meters)

We need to determine the equation that represents the relationship between the height of trees(y) and the amount of rainfall(x).

Slope of the equation:

The slope can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the points (20,10) and (40, 20) in the above formula.

Thus, we get;

$m=\frac{20-10}{40-20}$

$m=\frac{10}{20}$

$m=0.5$

Thus, the slope of the equation is 0.5

y - intercept:

The y - intercept of the equation is the value of y when x = 0.

Thus, from the graph, when x = 0, the value of y is 0.

Hence, the y - intercept is b = 0

Equation of the graph:

The equation of the given graph can be determined using the formula,

$y=mx+b$

Substituting the values, we get;

$y=0.5x+0$

$y=0.5x$

Thus, the equation that represents the relationship between the height of the trees (y) and the amount of rainfall (x) is $y=0.5x$

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

An oil-well contractor drills a shaft 7 meters deeper into the ground every 2 hours. Which graph has a slope that best represent

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Graph G

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are attached

Given that the oil-well contractor drills a shaft 7 meters deeper into the ground every 2 hours, hence the rate at which the shaft drills = 7 meter / 2 hours = 3.5 meters per hour

Since the drill goes into the ground, hence the rate is negative that is -3.5 meters per secong

The slope (rate of change) of a line (m) is given by:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

a) For graph F, the line passes through the point (0,0) and (10, -20). Hence:

$Slope\ of\ line\ F=\frac{-20-0}{10-0} =-2\ meters\ per\ second$

b) For graph G, the line passes through the point (0,0) and (10, -70). Hence:

$Slope\ of\ line\ G=\frac{-70-0}{10-0} =-7\ meters\ per\ second$

c) For graph H, the line passes through the point (0,0) and (10, -35). Hence:

$Slope\ of\ line\ H=\frac{-35-0}{10-0} =-3.5\ meters\ per\ second$

d) For graph J, the line passes through the point (0,-3.5) and (10, -3.5). Hence:

$Slope\ of\ line\ j=\frac{-3.5-(-3.5)}{10-0} =0\ meters\ per\ second$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of a function are the x-intercepts. By definition, the y-coordinate of points lying on the x-axis is zero. Therefore, to find the roots of a quadratic function, we set f (x) = 0, and solve the equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0.

Consider the following figure:

motikmotik

Answer:

angle <B = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to sum of two interior angles that is not adjacent to the exterior angle.

We can write the following equation with this information to find the value of angle <B

<B + 71 = 147 subtract 71 from both sides

<B = 76
