Answer:

y equals three sevenths times x plus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

  • points going up from about zero comma negative 3

<=> Let A (x1, y1) =  (0, -3)

  • to the right to about 7 comma zero

<=> Let B (x2, y2) = (7, 0)

As we know, the line of best fit is a linear equation that represent the data with the standard form:

y = mx + b where:

  • m is the slope
  • b is the the y-intercept when x = 0

For a line that goes trough the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

In this situation, we have:

m = \frac{0-(-3)}{7-0} = \frac{3}{7}  

=> y = \frac{-3}{7}  x + b.

Because the line goes through A (0, 3)

=> 3 = \frac{3}{7}  *0 + b

<=> b =3

=> y = \frac{3}{7}  x +  3

So we choose y equals three sevenths times x plus 3

Your friend buys a skateboard that is on sale for one third off the original price. Your friend spent $36 than the original pric
White raven [17]

Answer:

original price of skateboard = $54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the skateboard be x

selling price = one third off the original price = $36

x - (1/3x) = 36

\frac{x}{1} - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{3x-x}{3} = \frac{2x}{3}

\frac{2x}{3} = 36\\2x = 108\\x = \frac{108}{2} = 54

∴ x = 54

2. Addison bought 9 pumpkin pies for $27. How much will she pay for 11 pumpkin pies? Use numbers and words to explain your answe
Olin [163]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 9 pies is 27 dollars that means you have to divide 27 by 9 to find out what 1 pie costs

1 pie ends cause costing $3

now you multiply the cost for 1 pie and 11 so it comes out to be $33

Penny received an unexpected $5,000.00 gift from a distant relative. She invests it in a mutual fund that increases the value of
dusya [7]

Answer:

Penny would need to put in ~ $18,181.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation A = P(1+rt)

Where A = the total

P is equal to the starting amount

r is equal to the rate (percent)

and t is equal to the total time.

We can put in:

A = $40,000

r = 0.08 (8%)

t = 15

40,000 = P(1 +(0.08* 15))\\40,000 = P(1+1.2)\\40,000 = P(2.2)\\\frac{40,000}{2.2} = P\\ \frac{200,000}{11} = P\\P = $18181.8181818181...

Round to the nearest whole cent

P = $18,181.82
