Hence, the amount of cholesterol in 6 ounces of lobster will be 128.58 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cholesterol in 3.5 ounces = 75 mg

Cholesterol in 6 ounces =x= ?

This can be worked out by using proportions

It can be written as:

$\frac{75}{3.5}=\frac{x}{6}\\21.43=\frac{x}{6}\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\21.43*6=x\\x=128.58\ mg$

Hence, the amount of cholesterol in 6 ounces of lobster will be 128.58 milligrams

Which graph best represents -5y = -6x + 15

frutty [35]

Answer: Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the equation:

$-5y = -6x + 15$

Solve for "y" in order to write in Slope-Intercept form:

$y = \frac{-6}{-5}x + \frac{15}{-5}\\\\y = \frac{6}{5}x -3$

Now you can identify that that the slope and the y-intercept are:

$m=\frac{6}{5}\\\\b=-3$

A posive slope means that the the line moves upward from left to right.

With this information, you can conclude that the the graph that best represents the given equation is the graph shown in the Option c.

Take an example: The salary per hour:

Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:

y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow
