Answer:

The statement is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.

We cannot give more than what we have.

lets understand it mathematically.

suppose i have x stamp.

according to question, i have to give 130% of my stamp collection

130% of x = 130/100 x = 1.3x

so, i have to given 1.3x stamp while i do have only x stamp which does not make any sense.

maximum i can give is x stamp.

x stamp in percentage of my total stamp collection which is also x will be

= x/x*100 = 100%

Thus, maximum one can give is 100% of what he has.

Thus, we can say that Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection is not reasonable.

A line passes through the point (-2,7) and had a slope of -5
Annette [7]

Answer:

a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2

7 = -5*(-2) + c

7 = 10 + c

c = 7-10 = -3

Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.

We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:

2 = -5a -3

5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)

-a = 1 (now by -1)

a = -1

2. Evaluate each function at the specific value
Oliga [24]
F(6) says “take f(x) = -4x + 11 and put 6 in for every x-value and then clean it up.”

f(6) = -4(6) + 11
     
      = -24 + 11

      = -13


f(x) = -1 says “set your function equal to -1 and solve for x”

    f(x) = -1

-4x+11 = -1

-4x = -12

        x = 3

So f(3) = -1.
