Answer:

$y =- 3/2x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2,1) and (6,-5).\\x_1 = 2\\x_2 = 6\\y_1 =1\\y_2 =-5\\\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\\frac{y-1}{x-2} = \frac{-5-1}{6-2}\\\\\frac{y-1}{x-2} = \frac{-6}{4} \\Cross-Multiply\\4(y-1) = -6(x-2)\\4y-4=-6x+12\\4y =-6x+12+4\\4y = -6x+16\\Divide- through-by ; 4\\\frac{4y = -6x+16}{4} \\\\y = -\frac{3}{2} x +4$

The cost of pumpkin seeds is proportional to

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part 1) The unit rate is $\$0.25\ per\ ounce$

Part 2) A 56 ounce bag of pumpkin Seeds cost $14.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What is the unit rate for the pumpkin seeds?

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

Let

y ----> the cost of pumpkin seeds in dollars

x ---> the weight in ounces

we have

For x=24 ounces, y=$6

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

substitute the values

$k=\frac{6}{24}=\$0.25\ per\ ounce$

The unit rate is the same that the constant of proportionality k

therefore

The unit rate is

$\$0.25\ per\ ounce$

Part 2) How much would 56. ounce bag of pumpkin seeds cost?

we know that

The linear equation is equal to

$y=0.25x$

For x=56 ounces

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=0.25(56)=\$14.00$

I need not just the answer but the work written out

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A(3) = -6 + (3 - 1) (5)

-6 + (2)(5)

-6 + (10)

4

A(4) = -6 + (4 - 1) (5)

-6 + (3)(5)

-6 + 15

9

A(10) = -6 + (10 - 1) (5)

-6 + (9)(5)

-6 + 45

Three runners are training for a marathon. One day, they all run about ten miles, each at their own constant speed. Which of the

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Runner 1 has the fastest pace

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (40-0)/(4-0) =40/4 = 10 minutes per mile

The second is 8.5 minutes per mile

The third we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (90-72)/(10-8) =18/2 = 9 minutes per mile
