Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The big triangle and small triangles are similar so their corresponding sides are in proportion.
x/15 = 15/9
x= 15*15/9
x=25
The formula can be written in the form ...
... T = (original temperature) + x·(change in temperature each minute)
The problem statement gives you the original temperature (21 °C) and tells you the temperature after 12 minutes. You have to use that information to figure out the change in temperature each minute.
The change in temperature in 12 minutes is (75 °C) - (21 °C) = 54 °C. That is the change in 12 minutes, so the change in 1 minute will be 1/12 of that:
... 54/12 = 4.5
Using this value in the equation for T, we have
... T = 21 + 4.5x
Answer:
Slope = 4/3x; y-intercept = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 1 = 4/3x
You have to write this equation in slope-intercept form (solve for y) if you want to find the slope and y-intercept
y + 1 = 4/3x
Subtract one from both sides
y + 1 - 1 = 4/3x - 1
y = 4/3x - 1
Now that we have the equation, you can now find the slope and y-intercept
y = mx + b; m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
So for y = 4/3x - 1, the slope is 4/3x and the y-intercept is -1
