Y=mx+b
m=slope

or othe way

ax+by=c

slope=-a/b

14x+7y=-9
slope=-14/7=-2

slope=-2

We will put ur equation in y = mx + b form, and the slope will be in the m position.

14x + 7y = -9
7y = -14x - 9
y = (-14/7)x - 9/7
y = -2x - 9/7

y = mx + b
y = -2x + (-9/7)....as u can see, the -2 is in the m position and is therefore the slope.

Mafalda has a save percentage of 0.7380.7380, point, 738 so far this hockey season. Last season, her save percentage was 0.5850.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

0.153

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mafalda has a save percentage of 0.738 so far this hockey season. Last season, her save percentage was 0.585.

To find improvement in Mafalda's save percentage we will subtract last season's save percentage from this season's save percentage.

$0.738-0.585=0.153$

Therefore, Mafalda's save percentage improved by 0.153.

A certain forest covers an area of 4600km. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 7.75%. What will the area be after 13 y

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$1679.60\ km^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

-We can use the exponential decay function to estimate the size after 13 years:

$P_t=P_oe^{-rt}$

Where:

$P_t$ is the size after t years, t is the time, r is the rate of decay and $P_o$ the original size.

#We substitute and calculate as:

$P_t=P_oe^{-rt}\\\\=4600e^{-13\times 0.0775}\\\\=1679.60$

Hence, the forest covers $1679.60\ km^2$ after 13 years.

Jamaar helped in the community garden for 21/10 hours this week. that was 2 4/5 equal-length shifts, because jamaar stopped earl

DochEvi [55]

21/10 divided by 2 4/5 represents the time spent on a shift

<h3>How to determine what 21/10 divided by 2 4/5 represent in this situation?</h3>

The given parameters are

Time = 21/10

Shifts = 2 4/5

This means that:

21/10 divided by 2 4/5 represents:

Time/Shift

i.e. time per shift

Hence, 21/10 divided by 2 4/5 represents the time spent on a shift

Suppose that the proportions of blood phenotypes in a particular population are as follows: A B AB O 0.48 0.13 0.03 0.36 Assumin

Serggg [28]

Answer:

P(O and O) =0.1296

P=0.3778

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

blood phenotypes in a particular population

A=0.48

B=0.13

AB=0.03

O=0.36

As we know that when A and B both are independent that

P(A and B)= P(A) X P(B)

The probability that both phenotypes O are in independent:

P(O and O)= P(O) X P(O)

P(O and O)= 0.36 X 0.36 =0.1296

P(O and O) =0.1296

The probability that the phenotypes of two randomly selected individuals match:

Here four case are possible

P=P(A and A)+P(B and B)+P(AB and AB)+P(O and O)

P=0.48 x 0.48 + 0.13 x 0.13 + 0.03 x 0.03 + 0.36 x 0.36

P=0.3778
