For every 5 she misses 3.. this is a proportion that can be set up as
5/3 = x/24

Steps:
1) cross multiple 5 (that she makes) times the 24 (that she missed.

2) cross multiply the 3 (that she misses) times the missing value.
Giving you 3x=5(24)

3) Solve 5(24)= 120 so that:

120=3x
4) Divide 120 by 3 to solve for x
5) X= 40

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio 5:3 to answer the question.

5 = made free throws

3 = missed free throws

If she misses 24 free throws, compare the ratios 5:3 to x:24 (you are solving for x)

24 divided by 3 is 8, so multiply 5 by 8

You would get 40

Using linear function concepts, the y-intercept of AB is of 11.2.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Given two points of a line, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x,</u> hence, for A(8,0) and B(3,7):

m = (7 - 0)/(3 - 8) = -7/5 = -1.4.

Then:

y = -1.4x + b.

When x = 8, y = 0, hence we use it to find the y-intercept b as follows:

0 = -1.4(8) + b

b = 11.2.

The y-intercept is of 11.2.
