The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

substitute the coordinates of the points (8, 0) and (20, 12) to the formula:

$m=\dfrac{12-0}{20-8}=\dfrac{12}{12}=1$

y = 1x + b = x + b

Put the coordinates of the point (8, 0) to the equation of a line:

0 = 8 + b <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

-8 = b

<h3>Answer: y = x - 8</h3>

I'm thinking maybe x is supposed to represent the number of tasks completed because it states Shelly earned 90 points on each task. Then when put together it may look like this, let's say there are 4 tasks= Ex.90 times the 4 tasks minus 20 points which would total the points Terrence's has earned. So i believe x is the total tasks. Hope I didn't make it confusing...

Please help! The volume of an inflated spherical water balloon is 121,500 pi millimeters to the third. What is the radius of the

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The radius of the inflated spherical balloon is 45 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the spherical water balloon = 121,500 pi cubic millimeters

Let the radius of the balloon = r

Now, Volume of a Sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

⇒ $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = 121,500 \pi$

On solving for the value of r, we get:

$r^{3} = \frac{121,500\times 3}{4} = 91125\\ \implies r = \sqrt[3]{91125}$

or, r = 45 millimeter

Hence, the radius of the inflated spherical balloon is 45 millimeters.

Natalie was supposed to use PEMDAS (as we all do when doing math), which stands for: Parentheses, Exponents, Mulitplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. However, Natalie subtracted 1 from 2 before multiplying 6 by 4 and dividing it by 2.

Hope this helps!!
