A healthy human body is approximately 18% carbon, so to determine how many pounds of carbon a 200lb body contains, compute 200lbs X 0.18 = 36 pounds. To convert 36lbs to kilograms, multiply by the conversion factor 0.454. Therefore, 36lbs X 0.454 = 16.344 kg.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (2,8)?

ziro4ka [17]

Given that the line passes through the two points (-3,4) and (2,8)

We need to determine the equation of the line.

Slope:

The slope of the line can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the points (-3,4) and (2,8) in the above formula, we get;

$m=\frac{8-4}{2+3}$

$m=\frac{4}{5}$

Thus, the slope of the line is $m=\frac{4}{5}$

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substituting the point (-3,4) and $m=\frac{4}{5}$ in the above formula, we have;

$y-4=\frac{4}{5}(x+3)$

$y-4=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

$y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}+4$

$y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{32}{5}$

Thus, the equation of the line is $y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{32}{5}$

What does the 3 represent in 3(20 15)?

Andre45 [30]

Depending on what you're supposed to do, the three could either mean to distribute it into the equation, giving you
either
(3*2015) or (3*20)*(3*15) or (3*20) +/- (3*15)

Or an example of factoring where they took 3 out of 60 and 45.

There are no instruction on what to do in this question.
