Greetings,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

So basically, we have 3 cats catching 3 mice in 3 minutes. That means 1 cat is catching 1 mouse, but it takes it 3 mn.

Now if we have 99 mice and we need to catch them in 99 minutes, we will need 99 cats.

99 cats will catch 99 mice in 99 minutes...meaning each cats will take 1 minute to catch their mice.

$27

2.65 x 2 (since he has to go both to and from work each day) = $5.30
Add the daily cost of the water bottle (1.45) to make his total cost for one day, which is 6.75
Multiply this number by 4 (because he goes 4 days a week) to get $27 for one week.

Pls help I dont get it

Answer:

y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope formula is Δy/Δx, so using the coordinates (1, 4) and (2, 8), the slope is $\frac{8-4}{2-1}$ which equals 4.

The y intercept is 0.

Therefore, the equation is y=4x.
