(I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST AND 50 POINTS TO WHOEVER CAN EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS WORKS AND GIVE ME A HINT WHAT THE ANWSER IS LINEAR FU

NCTIONS)The graph shows the depth, y, in meters, of a shark from the surface of an ocean for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes: A graph titled Distance Vs. Time is shown. The x axis is labeled Time in minutes and shows numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The y axis is labeled Distance from Ocean Surface in meters. A straight line joins the points C at ordered pair 0,63, B at ordered pair 1, 105, A at ordered pair 2, 147, and the ordered pair 3,189. Part A: Describe how you can use similar triangles to explain why the slope of the graph between points A and B is the same as the slope of the graph between points A and C. (4 points) Part B: What are the initial value and slope of the graph, and what do they represent? (6 points)

Answer:

Since the graph described will form a straight line, the concept of similar triangles can be used when comparing the slopes on AB and AC. We just imagine a triangle formed by the line segments and their corresponding x and y components. We can notice that their angles don't actually change so we know that the two triangles formed are proportional. This would mean that getting the slope (Δy/Δx) would yield us the same number.  

PART B  

The initial value of the graph is 60 meters and this represents the initial position of the shark (it is located 60 meters below the ocean surface).  

100/1-60/0= 40  

The slope of the graph is  and this represents how fast (speed) the shark can dive. We know this because dividing meters over the number of minutes would give us meters/minute and this is describing the speed.

The product of two consecutive negative even integers is 24. Find the largest integer.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

ok negative times negative = positive

and factors of 24 are

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

4 x 6 are the two consecutive EVEN numbers

so turn it to negative

-4 x -6 = 24

The largest is -4

John sales model boats from a booth at a local fair. He purchases each model boat from a distributor for five dollars and the lo
poizon [28]

Answer and explanation:

Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)

John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:

P= 50x-(5x+80)

Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.

For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:

Substitute x=20 in equation above

P= 50×20-(5×20+80)

P=1000-180

P=$820

It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
