Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (9, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 18 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Mary and Mike went to the store to buy colored pencils for their science class.mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69,and Mary bought a

sweet-ann [11.9K]

12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

Solution:

Given that, Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69 and Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

We have to find which is the better buy

First we have to find the unit rate

Unit rate is cost of 1 pack

Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69

Therefore,

Cost of 12 pack = 1.69

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 1.69 by 12

$cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{1.69}{12} = 0.14083$

Thus unit rate of Mike is 0.14083 dollar per pack

Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

Cost of 24 pack = 3.18

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 3.18 by 24

$cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{3.18}{24} = 0.1325$

Thus unit rate of Mary is 0.1325 dollars

On comparing both the unit rate

$0.14083>0.1325$

Thus unit rate of Mike is larger

Thus, 12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

Which of the following relations is a function? A. (0, 4), (-2, 6), (0, 3), (-7, 2) B. (8, 1), (-2, 4), (0, 1), (8, 2) C. (0, 4)

fomenos

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

C is a function because each of the inputs are distinct, meaning they only have one output each.

The other choices are not functions because at least one of the inputs corresponds to 2 or more outputs.

The standard golf ball has a mass of 45g. How many golf balls are there in a bag weighing 1.8kg?

Butoxors [25]

This is a working backwards question.
Since the golf ball was 45g, and the bag was 1.8kg,we need to make them the same units.
45g= 0.45kg
1.8kg= 1.8kg

Now that the units are the same, we put it in a calculator.

1.8÷0.45= 4

Therefore, there are 4 golf balls in the bags.
We can check this by doing 4×0.45= 1.8

Hope this helped!
