First set up a linear equation and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.
It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)
Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c
Build a set of 3 equations from the table:
C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6
Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6
-2.4 =4a-2b +6
1.4 = a-b +6
Rewrite the equations
a=b/2 -2.1
1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6
b = 5
a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4
replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6

i hate thsi coordinate chapter its very difficult chapter u know
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope form of a straight line is expressed as
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where
m represents slope of the line
y1 represents the initial value of y
x1 represents the initial value of x
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. From the equation of the given line, slope = 1/2
Therefore,
m = 1/2
x1 = - 3
y1 = - 2
Substituting into the point slope equation, it becomes
y - - 2 = 1/2(x - - 3)
y + 2 = 1/2(x + 3)
The equation is
y + 2 = 1/2(x + 3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the tank starts empty. It means that in 1 hour the tank has half that water, or 3600 gallons. And the good thing of lines passing through 0.0 is that the value at 1 IS the slope we need. ie 3600.
At this point it's easy to find that if in 2 hours it filled 1/10th of the tank, in 20 hours the tank will be full.
Graph done with paint, obviously not to scale.
He would be 25 inches tall.
40 divided by 8 would equal 5 so at age 1, he was 5 inches tall. So 5 times 5 which is how old he was, would equal 25 inches.
