To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.
m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3
b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.
Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0
So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.
B and C for the first two
Answer:
415.63 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Growth can be represented by the equation 
. We can find the rate at which it grows by using t=25 minutes and 
or double the amount at that time. The first step we always take is to divide 
by A.
![[tex]\frac{A_{0}}{A}=e^{rt}\\2=e^{r(25)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Btex%5D%5Cfrac%7BA_%7B0%7D%7D%7BA%7D%3De%5E%7Brt%7D%5C%5C2%3De%5E%7Br%2825%29%7D)
To solve for r, we will take the natural log of both sides and use log rules to isolate r.
We know 
so we were able to cancel it out and divide both sides by 25.
We solve with a calculator 
We change 0.0277 into a percent by multiplying by 100 to get 2.77% as the rate.
The equation is 
.
We repeat the step above substituting A=5,000,000, =50, and r=0.02777. Then solve for t.
t=415.63 minutes
