Answer:

y=-3/2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -4

2y=-4-3x /:2

y=-4/2-3x/2

y=-3/2x-2

Slope=-3/2(=m) , because this line is parallel slope is the same, then

y-y1=m(x-x1) ,where

A(4,-1).... x1 =4, y1 =-1

y-(-1)=-3/2(x-4)

y+1=-3/2x+3/2*4

y+1=-3/2x+6

y=-3/2x+6-1

y=-3/2x+5

???????? Help pls???????

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function graph can be represented by:

y = mx + b; where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

a) From the graph we can see the graph passes through the point (0, 100) and (20, 400). Hence we can use the following formula to find the equation:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-100=\frac{400-100}{20-0}(x-0)\\\\y-100=15x\\\\y=15x + 100$

b) An example of real life linear function is the energy consumed per day in kWh. Let us assume 5 kWh is consumed each day by the person. Since the independent variable is the days, it would be on the x axis, while the dependent variable (energy consumed) would be on the y axis.

Three orders are placed at a pizza shop. two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14; one small pizza, a liter of so

mojhsa [17]

To determine the cost of each item, we need to set up equations. From the problem statement, we have three unknowns so we need three equations. We set up equations as follows:

let x cost of small pizzas
y cost of soda
z cost of salad

two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14
2x + y + z = 14

one small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads cost $15

x + y + 3z = 15

three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads cost $22
3x + y + 2z = 22

Solving for x, y and z, we will have:

x = $ 5
y = $ 1
z = $ 3

Find a formula for the nth term in this arithmetic sequence. a1=0, a2=0.5, a3=1, a4=1.5

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

nth term is;

0.5n-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, the first term is 0

The common difference is 0.5-0= 1-0.5 = 1.5-1 = 0.5

Formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence is;

a + (n-1)d

So we have

0 + (n-1) 0.5

= 0.5n-0.5
