Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

The slope is given as 1/2 and the line passes through (2, - 3)

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 2, y = - 3 and m= 1/2 into y = mx + c

y = mx + c. It becomes

- 3 = 1/2 × 2 + c = 1 + c

c = - 3 - 1 = - 4

The equation becomes

y = x/2 - 4

A stadium has 39 sections. there are 18 sections that each have 478 seats. The remaining sections each have 292 seats. If 13,528

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 1,208 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

39-18= 21

18 x 478 = 8,604

21 x 292 = 6,132

8,604 + 6,132 = 14,736

14,736 - 13,528 = 1,208

The results of a test of a metal are shown in the table, with strain in meters per meter, andstress in units called megapascals,

shusha [124]

The metal obey this law for values of strain until 0.05, where we have a linear relationship (each increase of 0.01 in the strain causes an increase of 100 in the stress). After this point, we don't have a linear relationship anymore.

c. Since an increase of 0.01 in the strain causes an increase of 100 in the stress, the slope is:

$m=\frac{100}{0.01}=10000$

Now, calculating the coefficient b (y-intercept), we have:

$\begin{gathered} (0.01,100)\colon \\ 100=0.01\cdot10000+b \\ 100=100+b \\ b=0 \end{gathered}$

So the equation is:

$y=10000x$

The maximum value of stress is 560, and occurs at strain = 0.07.

for a field trip, a bus company charges a flat fee plus an additional fee per student. For 40 students, the total cost is $250.0

swat32

Okay so 6.25 a student then it goes to 4.50 for 15 more students at 70 students its 358.75 now it drops another 1.75 so it would be 368.75 for 80 students so the equation is 4.48 x 80 = 368.75. enjoy :D
