ow, determine the portion of green candies in each bag.
Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points A(–3, 1) and B(2, –5).

Kipish [7]

Answer:

- 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -5-1)/(2- -3)

= (-5-1)/(2+3)

- 6/5

Answer:

$\begin{cases}y=-5x+1\\y=5x-4 \end{cases}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a <u>linear equation</u>:

$\boxed{y=mx+b}$

where:

m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis).

<u>Slope formula</u>

$\boxed{\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

<u>Equation 1</u>

<u />

Define two points on the line:

$\textsf{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(-1, 6)$

$\textsf{Let }(x_2,y_2)=(0, 1)$

<u>Substitute</u> the defined points into the slope formula:

$\implies \textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{1-6}{0-(-1)}=-5$

From inspection of the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y = 1 and so the y-intercept is 1.

Substitute the found slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept formula to create an equation for the line:

$y=-5x+1$

<u>Equation 2</u>

<u />

Define two points on the line:

$\textsf{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(1, 1)$

$\textsf{Let }(x_2,y_2)=(0, -4)$

<u>Substitute</u> the defined points into the slope formula:

$\implies \textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-4-1}{0-1}=5$

From inspection of the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y = -4 and so the y-intercept is -4.

Substitute the found slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept formula to create an equation for the line:

$y=5x-4$

<u>Conclusion</u>

Therefore, the system of linear equations shown by the graph is:

$\begin{cases}y=-5x+1\\y=5x-4 \end{cases}$

Andrews [41]

Jill had a total score of 40 on 13 quizzes, so her average was
40/13 ≈ 3.08

_____
1 quiz @ 1 = total of 1
3 quizzes @ 2 = total of 6
4 quizzes @ 3 = total of 12
4 quizzes @ 4 = total of 16
1 quiz @ 5 = total of 5
total score = 1 + 6 + 12 + 16 + 5 = 40
total quizzes = 1 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 13
