Let " x "  denotes the temperature in degree Fahrenheit .

Let  " y " denotes the chirp rate per minute .

We have given that at 88 degree Fahrenheit , chirp rate is 64 times per minute and at 97 degree Fahrenheit , it is 118 times per minute .

We write this information in coordinate form ( x,y) .

We have ( x₁ ,y₁)  = ( 88 , 64 )  and  ( x₂ , y₂) = ( 97,118) .

                         y₂   - y ₁                     118  -   64                  54

Slope , m  =  ----------------------  =    ---------------------  =     -----------

                          x₂  - x₁                        97   -  88                   9

           Slope , m =  6 .


Equation of line in slope intercept form is

y = m x + b  where  ' m' is slope and ' b ' is intercept .

Plug value of m  , we get

y = 6 x + b .

To find value of b , we put ( 88 , 64 ) in place of x and y .

Put x = 88 and y = 64 , we get

64 = 6 * 88 + b

64  = 528 + b

64 - 528 =  b

- 464 = b

Thus we get b = - 464 .

So the equation become

y = 6 x - 464 .

Equation in slope intercept form representing the situation is

y = 6 x - 464 .

MArishka [77]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm guessing u must be from UK.... in the US "standard form" is known as "Scientific Notation"

Write 3.25 x 10^4 as an ordinary number: 32 500

Write 6.04 x 10^-3 as an ordinary number:  0.00604

Write 2 400 000 in standard form  : 2.4 x 10^6

Write 0.00147 in standard form: 1.47 X 10^-3

5. Which point lies on the line: y - 4 = -3(x + 2)?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

(- 2, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 4 = - 3(x + 2) ← is in point- slope form

with (a, b ) = (- 2, 4 )

3x + 3 – 2+2 = x + 5
Feliz [49]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify and get 3x + 3 = x + 5

Then subtract x from both sides and get 2x + 3 = 5

Then subtract 3 from both sides and get 2x = 2

Divide both sides by 2 and get x = 1
