Answer:

$(B.) y= 1/2x -3/2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-3, -3) = (x_1,y_1)\\m = 1/2\\\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y -(-3)=\frac{1}{2} (x -(-3)\\\\y+3 = \frac{1}{2}(x+3)\\\\ y+3 = \frac{1}{2} x+\frac{3}{2}\\\\ y = \frac{1}{2} x +\frac{3}{2} -3\\\\y = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{2}$

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Option \ B}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

(slope intercept form of a line)

m = slope

b = y-intercept

y = 1/2x + b

Only three options have a slope of 1/2.

y= 1/2x + 3/2

y= 1/2x - 3/2

y= 1/2x - 1/2

The line crosses the point (-3, -3), x = -3 and y = -3.

-3= 1/2(-3) + 3/2

-3= -3/2 + 3/2

-3 = 0

This is false.

-3= 1/2(-3) - 3/2

-3 = -3/2 - 3/2

-3 = -6/2

-3 = -3

This is true.

-3= 1/2(-3) - 1/2

-3 = -3/2 - 1/2

-3 = -2

This is false.

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

because 7200 / 300 equals 24 and 24 / 30 equals .8 so its 80% and if you want to check the answer you take 30 * .8 OR 80% and it gives you 24

QUESTION 1

The given inequality is

$y\leq x-3$ and $y\geq -x-2$ .

If (3,-2) is a solution; then it must satisfy both inequalities.

We put x=3 and y=-2 in to both inequalities.

$-2\leq 3-3$ and $-2\geq -3-2$ .

$-2\leq 0$ :True and $-2\geq -5$ :True

Both inequalities are satisfied, hence (3,-2) is a solution to the given system of inequality.

QUESTION 2

The given inequality is

$y\:>\:-3x+3$ and $y\:>\: x+2$ .

If (1,4) is a solution; then it must satisfy both inequalities.

We put x=1 and y=4 in to both inequalities.

$4\:>\:-3(1)+3$ and $4\:>\: 1+2$ .

$4\:>\:0$ :True and $4\:>\: 3$ :True

Both inequalities are satisfied, hence (1,4) is a solution to the given system of inequality.

Ans: True

QUESTION 3

The given inequality is

$y\leq 3x-6$ and $y\:>\: -4x+2$ .

If (0,-2) is a solution; then it must satisfy both inequalities.

We put x=0 and y=-2 in to both inequalities.

$-2\leq 3(0)-6$ and $-2\:>\: -4(0)+2$ .

$-2\leq -6$ :False and $-2\:>\:2$ :False

Both inequalities are not satisfied, hence (0,-2) is a solution to the given system of inequality.

Ans:False

QUESTION 4

The given inequality is

$2x-y\:$ and $x+y\:>\:-1$ .

If (0,3) is a solution; then it must satisfy both inequalities.

We put x=0 and y=3 in to both inequalities.

$2(0)-3\:$ and $0+3\:>\:-1$ .

$-3\:$ :True and $3\:>\:-1$ : True

Both inequalities are satisfied, hence (0,3) is a solution to the given system of inequality.

Ans:True

QUESTION 5

The given system of inequality is

$y\:>\:2x-3$ and $y\:$ .

If (-3,0) is a solution; then it must satisfy both inequalities.

We put x=-3 and y=0 in to both inequalities.

$0\:>\:2(-3)-3$ and $0\:$ .

$0\:>\:-9$ ;True and $0\:$ :True

Both inequalities are satisfied, hence (-3,0) is a solution to the given system of inequality.

Ans:True
