Answer:

w=0.5t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

'w' represents inches of water left after 't' minutes of time.

The dripping out of water is a linear function.

At time 't' equal to 0, the bucket was empty.

After 14 minutes, there are 7 inches of water in the bucket.

A linear function model is of the form: w=mt+b

Where, m\to\textrm{dripping rate of water}\\b\to\textrm{water level at t=0}

Now, at t=0,w=0(\textrm{As bucket was empty})

At t=14,w=7

Therefore, plugging these values in the above linear model and solving the system of linear equations. This gives,

0=m(0)+b\\0=0+b\\b=0\\\\7=14m+0\\m=\frac{7}{14}=0.5\ in/min

Therefore, the values of 'm' and 'b' are 0.5 and 0 respectively.

Thus, the linear model is given as:

w=0.5t

a ladder is leaning against a wall. The ladder reaches 6 ft high on the wall and the base from the ladder is 2 ft from the wall
Katyanochek1 [597]
Ok the ladder and the ground will make a right triangle/right angle. This is because the ground is flat, the wall is straight and only the ladder is leaning/slanted. I hope this helps.

Please help anyone and thank you
snow_lady [41]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The two statements that are true are statement 1 and statement 4:

- The sum of pi and 0 is irrational.

- The product of \frac{9}{5} and \sqrt{19 } is irrational.

Pi is an irrational number, and the square root of 19 is irrational. That's because these numbers can't be put into a simplified fraction to encompass all the digits it contains.

The following graph shows a proportional relationship.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is thus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the green line passes through (6, 6) and has a y-intercept of 0.  Thus, the equation of the line is y = (6/6)x + 0, or y = x, or y = 1x.

The constant of proportionality is thus 1, which is also the slope of this line.
