Answer:

Point slope intercept form: The equation for line is given by; y-y_1=m(x-x_1) ......[1] ; where m is the slope and a point (x_1, y_1) on the line.

Let x represents the number of days and y represents the number of friends.

As per the statement:  After day three, he has 25 friends; after day eight, he has 40 friends.

⇒ We have two points i.e,

(3, 25) and (8, 40)

First calculate slope(m);

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute the given values we get;

m = \frac{40-25}{8-3}=\frac{15}{5} = 3

now, substitute the given values of m=3 and a point (3, 25) in [1] we get;

y-25=3(x-3)

Using distributive property; a \cdot(b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

y-25 = 3x - 9

Add 25 on both sides, we get;

y-25+25 = 3x - 9+25

Simplify:

y =3x + 16

if  x = 18 days, then;

y = 3(18) + 16 = 54+16 = 70

Therefore, he will have on day 18, if he continues to add the same number of friends each day is, 70 friends.

Point A has the coordinates (2,2). What are the coordinates of its image point if it is translated 2 units up and 5 units to the
Marysya12 [62]
A translation of 2 units up will increase the y coordinate by 2 units and a translation by 5 units to the left will decrease the x coordinate by 5. Hence after these translations point (2,2) becomes 

<span>(2 - 5 , 2 + 2) = (-3,4) </span>

When point (-3,4) is reflected in the x axis, its y coordinate changes sign and point (-3 ,4) becomes 

<span>(-3,-4)</span>

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following triangular prism? *picture of a triangular prism* Choose
KIM [24]

Answer:

A. 24+24+120+160+200

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the triangular prism= addition of the area of each shape that forms the prism

There are two triangles

Area of a triangle=1/2*base*height

=1/2*8*6

=1/2*48

=24

Area of two triangles=24+24

There are 3 rectangles with different dimensions

Back rectangle=length×width

=20×6

=120

Bottom rectangle=length ×width

=20x8

=160

Top rectangle=length × width

=20×10

=200

Surface area =Area of two triangles + Back rectangle + Bottom rectangle + Top rectangle

=24+24+120+160+200
