Answer:

Option A ic orrect.

y=-\frac{3}{7}x+ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form:

The equation of line is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)      .....[1]

where m is the slope of line and a point (x_1,y_1) lies on the line in the coordinate plane.

As per the statement:

You can see from the graph of line

We have two points i.e,

(0, 4) and (7, 1)

First calculate the slope:

\text{Slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

then;

\text{Slope}(m) = \frac{1-4}{7-0} = -\frac{3}{7}

Now, substitute the value of m and (0,4) in [1] we have;

y-4=-\frac{3}{7}(x-0)  

Simplify:

y-4=-\frac{3}{7}x

Add 4 to both sides we get;

y=-\frac{3}{7}x+ 4

Therefore, the equation best represents the trend line for the scatter plot is y=-\frac{3}{7}x+ 4

Y = (-3/7)x + 4

Looking at the graph, you can see the trend line plotted. And conveniently, there are a couple of points on the trend line that are indicated. Those points being (0,4) and (7,1). The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:y = ax+b

Looking at the points available, the point (0,4) already gives us the y intercept since x is equal to 0. So our equation becomes:
y = ax + 4

Now we need to determine a which is the slope. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. So let's do that
(1-4)/(7-0) = -3/7

And now our equation becomes:
y = (-3/7)x + 4

And given formatting issues, the first option available is the correct one.

Javier has a model of a cone with a radius of 3 inches and a height of 10 inches. Javier increased his model’s volume by doublin
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

240 \pi\ in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z------> the scale factor

x-----> the volume of the larger cone

y-----> the volume of the original cone

z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have

z=2 -----> scale factor

substitute

2^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

8=\frac{x}{y}

x=8y

That means-----> The volume of the larger cone is  8 times the volume of the original cone

Find the volume of the original cone

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h

we have

r=3\ in

h=10\ in

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3^{2})(10)=30 \pi\ in^{3}

therefore

The volume of the larger cone is equal to

8*30 \pi\ in^{3}=240 \pi\ in^{3}

To which graph does the point (−1, 3) belong? y ≥ 2x + 6 y ≥ 3x − 1 y ≥ −x + 3 y ≥ −2x + 5
Anna35 [415]
Well first find the slope of the point
y=mx+b  y=-1x+3
slope = -1
then put the problem in point slope form y - y1 = m (x-x1)
y + 3 = -1 (x+1) then solve for y=mx+b again
so y> 2x + 6 is the answer
