Answer:
k = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points are collinear then the slopes between consecutive points are equal.
Using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)
m =
=
= 
Repeat with another 2 points and equate to 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 4)
m =
, then
=
( cross- multiply )
k - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )
k = 11
Answer:
x = 81
Steps:
It says that y ~ √x
We have points (9, 18) as a guide.
We can write y = f(x) = a√x +b
Use points (9, 18) as a guide
18 = a√9 +b
18 = 3a + b
One solution might be a = 6, which means f(x) = 6√x
Thus when y = 54,
54 = 6√x
9 = √x
81 = x
Answer:
3lb .6 ounces should be correct
Step-by-step explanation:
40 below 0 would be -40 and 20 below 0 would be -20°. So there’s a change of (increase of) 20° that day. It would also make sense if you drew a number line. You would see the interval between -40 and -20 is 20.
