For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x. "y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:
slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.
The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9
Answer:
$56
Step-by-step explanation:
100 - (100(0.30)) = 100 - 30 = 70
70 - (70(0.20)) = 70 - 14 = 56
Answer:
each pack costs 2.5, she bought x packs
x=2+4+3=9
she bought 9 packs
so 2.5 times 9=22.50
she spend $22.50
5.5 ( 8 - x ) + 44 = 104 - 3.5 ( 3x + 24 )
Distribute 5.5 through the parenthesis.
44 - 5.5x + 44 = 104 - 10.5x - 84
Add the numbers.
88 - 5.5x = 20 - 10.5x
Move variable to the left side and change its sign.
88 - 5.5x + 10.5x = 20
-5.5x + 10.5x = 20 -88
Collect like terms.
5x = 20 - 88
Calculate the sum or difference.
5x = - 68
Divide both sides by 5.
x = - 68 / 5
