Answer:

y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The level of a lake is falling linearly.

On Jan 1, the level is 452 inches

On Jan 21, the level is 378 inches.

Now, a linear function can be represented in the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' is the rate of change and 'b' is initial level

x\to number\ of\ days\ passed\ since\ Jan\ 1

y\to Lake\ level

So, let Jan 1 corresponds to the initial level and thus b = 452 in

Now, the rate of change is given as the ratio of the change in level of lake to the number of days passed.

So, from Jan 1 to Jan 21, the days passed is 21.

Change in level = Level on Jan 21 - Level on Jan 1

Change in level = 378 in - 452 in = -74 in

Now, rate of change is given as:

m=\frac{-74}{21}

Hence, the function to represent the lake level is y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Where, 'x' is the number of days passed since Jan 1.

Help me please<br> 8. Match each angle pair with the corresponding drawing. Choose the best answer!
sdas [7]

Answer:

1. D

2. B

3.  A

4. C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles formed by the intersection of lines. Choice D has two lines intersecting, and two opposite angles formed by it.

2. Adjacent angles are two angles that have a common vertex and common side but do not overlap. Choice B is two angles with a common vertex and common side, and they don't overlap.

3. Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees/make a straight angle. Choice A has two angles that add up to 180 degrees, and the two angles combined make a straight angle/line.

4. Two angles are called complementary angles if they add up to 90 degrees and form a right angle. Choice C has two angles that form a right triangle, meaning it adds up to 90 degrees.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

A) m=\frac{350}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find how long it will take Carlos to have $500 TOTAL, so we need to subtract what he already has ($150) to get the value we want to divide by $25 to figure out how many months it will take him to save up the rest. The given answer above is just a simplified way of writing m=\frac{500-150}{25}, if that makes more sense.

The last time Sierra played softball, she hit the ball 45% of the times she was at bat. Based on this information, how many time
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Number of times she will hit the ball  the next time she plays softball if she is at bat 20 times = 9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of times Sierra hit the ball when she was at bat playing softball= 45%

So, we can find:

Number of times she will hit the ball  the next time she plays softball if she is at bat 20 times = \textrm{45\% of 20 times} =0.45\times 20=9\ times
