Answer:

a) -12.5; the crimes committed goes down by 12.5 every time there are more police officers assigned to patrol.

b) 1200. The number of crimes committed if no police officers were on patrol.

c) 96. The hypothetical number of police officers on duty if no crime were to ever occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercepts are found by substituting 0 for the other variable in the equation.

For example, if you wanted to find the C intercept, all you have to do is make P = 0, so you would end up with C = 1200 - (12.5 * 0), which simplifies down to 1200.

You would apply the same strategy to find the P intercept.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Hey!

The sample space would be sides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, or 1-6.

A sample space is a range of possible values.

Hope this helps! :D

Harold wrote this equation to model the level of water in a pool over time. The variable x represents time in hours. f(x) = 3,50
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool was 3,500 units

The water was 2,600 units high after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function that models the water level is

f(x)=3,500-225x

where x represents time in hours.

The function represents a straight line that has slope m=-225

Since the slope is negative, it means the water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool can found when we put x=0 into the function.

f(0)=3,500-225(0)


f(0)=3,500, hence the initial level is 3,500.


To determine the level of water in the pool after 14 hours, we put x=14 into the equation to get;

f(14)=3,500-225(14)

f(14)=3,500-3150


f(14)=350


To determine the water level after 4 hours we put x=4

f(4)=3,500-225(4)

f(4)=3,500-900

f(14)=2,600
