Which of the following equations, written in standard form, is parallel to the line y = 6x + 11 and contains the point (-5, 1)?

1 answer:

6 0

Y = 6x + 11....slope here is 6. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 6
(-5,1)...x = -5 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 6(-5) + b
1 = -30 + b
1 + 30 = b
31 = b

so ur equation is : y = 6x + 31...but we need it in standard form

y = 6x + 31
-6x + y = 31 ...multiply by -1 to make the x term positive
6x - y = -31 <===

50 POINTS!! Pleasee helppppp!!! A scientific journal recently reported that there are currently 2400 black rhinos in the world t

Harman [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we started out with 2,400 black rhinos.

And we know that they are declining at a rate of 10% per year.

In other words, each subsequent year will only have 90% of the previous year's rhinos.

Therefore, our function is:

$f(x)=2400(.9)^x$

We can do some elimination first.

First, the starting point or y-intercept must be 2400 since that's the number of rhinos we started out with.

Therefore, we can eliminate A and D.

From the remaining choices B or C, we can technically also eliminate B. This is because from our function, we know it's exponential decay, and exponential decay is not a straight line.

However, to double check, let's check the population after 10 years using our function. So:

$f(10)=2400(.9)^{10}$
