Answer:

The slope is 3/8

The y intercept is 75/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (9-6)/(-1- -9)

= (9-6)/(-1+9)

=3/8

The y intercept is found by

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 3/8 x+b

9 = 3/8(-1) +b

Getting a common denominator

72/8 = -3/8 +b

Add 3/8 to each side

75/8 = b

The y intercept is 75/8

Answer:

3/8, 9 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

L (-9, 6) and M(-1, 9)

slope is:

m= (9-6)/(-1+9)= 3/8

y- intercept is:

6=3/8*(-9)+b

b= 6+27/8= (48+27)/8= 75/8= 9 3/8

The population of bacteria in a certain culture can be modeled by the function P(t)=10000(1.03)^t. Is the population of bacteria

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The population of bacteria is increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function modelling the population of bacteria in the given culture is an exponential function; We have a base 1.03 and an exponent t. An exponential function is said to be increasing if the base is strictly greater than 1, this implies that the population of the bacteria is increasing as t increases from 0 to infinity.
