be the dependent variable.)

Answer:

The equation of the line is y=45.25t+545

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

y=mt+n       (1)

where:

m is the slope of the line and m is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, y in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope (m) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}         (2)

where t_1, t_2, y_1 and y_2 are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25

Hence, the line equation is now:

y=45.25t+n     (3)

Now to obtain the value of n you can follow two options:

  1. You can substitute one of your points, A or B, in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is n

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero t=0. Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

45.25*0+n=545\\n=545

Therefore, the line equation is: y=45.25t+545

The second option to find n is to think of the meaning of the <em>intercept</em>. The <em>intercept </em>of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that n is equal to 545.

See the attachment for a plot of the line.

What is the slope of a line that passes through the origin and the point (-2,1)?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

<em>The slope would be</em><u><em> -1/2. </em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the midpoint of the segment joining the points P (0, -4) and B (8, 0),

<em> = </em><u><em>( 4, -2 ), </em></u>

Now, the slope of the line passes through the origin and the point ( 4, -2) is,

= <u>-1/2</u>

The perimeter of a pool is 96 feet. If the length of the pool is 3 times its width, what is the width of the pool? Labeling the
k0ka [10]

Answer:

12 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of the pool be Length×width

There will be 2lengths and 2widths as well so the perimeter of the pool will be the addition of all the sides of the pool i.e 2L + 2W = 96... (1)

And since the length of the pool is 3 times its width, we have

L = 3W... (2)

Substituting equation 2 into 1 to get the width 'W'

2(3W) + 2W = 96

6W + 2W = 96

8W = 96

W = 96/8

W = 12feets

The width of the pool is 12feets

Nata [24]

Answer:

14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

One side of the composite has a length of 6 and the other side has a length of 8.

If we add these two numbers, we'll get the missing side length of the rectangle

6 + 8 = 14 cm
