What does it mean for an equation to be linear? What kind of relationships can be modeled by equations in the form y=mx?

An equation that is linear:
1. When graphed, linear equations make a [straight] line (hence the name linear).
2. Have x exponents raised to the first power (in other words, if the x-value obtains exponents that are not 1 [Note: having 1 as an exponent is just like not having an exponent given that a number raised to the first power is still that number], it isn't linear) 

Proportional relationships can be modeled in the form y = mx where m equals the slope, or constant rate of change.

Which is a counterexample that disproves the conjecture? After completing several multiplication problems, a student concludes t
Dahasolnce [82]
When you make the product of a binomial of the kind x + a times other binomial that is of the kind x - a, you obtain another binomial (not a trinomial), so any example with that form will be a counterexample that disproves the conjecture:

(x + a) * (x - a) = x^2 - a^2

For example, (x +3) * (x - 3) = x^2 - 9. So, not always the product of two binomials is a trinomial.

In a town, 15% of the population is unemployed. what is the
kow [346]

Answer:

1479 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount employed is 8381, that means 8381 is 85% of the population. 8381/85 = 98.6

Every 1% of the population is 98.6, so we can just do 15 x 98.6 to get 1479

Slope = change in y / change in x


Use the two pints shown on the graph.


Slope = ( 0- -2) / ( -6 -2)

Slope = 2/-8

Slope = -1/4


answer: slope = -1/4

A circular garden has a circumference of 88 yards. Lars is digging a straight line along a diameter of the garden at a rate of 7
ankoles [38]

Answer:

It will take 4 hours to dig in the garden

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate the diameter, for this we will use the formula to calculate the circumference of a circle and we will clear the diameter

d = diameter

π = 3.14

c = circumference

c = π * d

d = c / π

d = 88yd / 3.14

d = 28.025yd

round to the nearest whole number

28.025 = 28

d = 28yd

To know how many hours it takes, we divide the diameter by the speed

t = time

v = velocity

t = d / v

t = (28yd) / (7yd/h)

t = 4h

It will take 4 hours to dig in the garden

Which of the following expressions is always equivalent to -2b + 4 + 4b - 7
spayn [35]

Answer:

c. 2b - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-2 b + 4 + 4 b - 7

Grouping like terms, -2 b + 4 + 4 b - 7 = (4 b - 2 b) + (4 - 7):

(4 b - 2 b) + (4 - 7)

4 b - 2 b = 2 b:

2 b + (4 - 7)

4 - 7 = -3:

Answer:  2 b + -3
