I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25
What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes
14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:
14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.
Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.
Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).
Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?
The initial value is 21 and rate of change is 16 pages per week
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that After writing part of his novel, Thomas is now writing 16 pages per week
After 4 weeks, he has written 85 pages.
Given that assume the relationship to be linear
Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + c
y = mx + c
where "y" is the number of pages written after 4 weeks
x = 4 weeks and m = 16 pages
Therefore,
85 = 16(4) + c
85 = 64 + c
c = 85 - 64
c = 21
Therefore, initial value is 21 and rate of change is 16 pages per week
its the 3rd answer i think
Answer:
The equivalent to -(-5.25) = 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
We need to determine the equivalent to -(-5.25)
some of the sign rules are:
+(+) = +
−(−) = +
+(−) = -
−(+) = -
Thus,
Applying the rule: -a(-a) = a
Therefore, the equivalent to -(-5.25) = 5.25
see the figure below to better understand the problem
we have that
