Determine the slope and vertical intercept of the following linear function below

1 answer:

3 0

to get the slope of it, we simply need two points off the table, say (-4,-114) and (2,48). Recall that the y-intercept, where the graph <u>intercepts</u> the y-axis, when that happens x = 0, so is right there on the table already.

$\bf \begin{array}{rrll} x&y\\ \cline{1-2} -4&-114\\ -2&-60\\ 0&-6&\leftarrow y-intercept\\ 2&48\\ 4&102 \end{array}~\hfill (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-114})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{48})$

$\bf slope\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{48-(-114)}{2-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{48+114}{2+4}\implies \cfrac{162}{6}\implies 27 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \left(\stackrel{slope}{27}~~,~~\stackrel{y-intercept}{-6} \right)~\hfill$

balu736 [363]

Answer:

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the difference in the number of fishes from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.

90 -52

= 38 fishes

Therefore the percent decrease can be calculated as follows

= 38/90 × 100

= 0.422 × 100

= 42.2 %

= 42% ( to the nearest cent)

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 22 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th

Varvara68 [4.7K]

So hmm notice the picture below

thus, the perimeter of the gutter is just w + w + l, or 2w +l

thus $\bf 22=2w+l\implies 22-2w=l
\\\\\\
\textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\
A=lw\qquad 22-2w=l\implies A(w)=(22-2w)w
\\\\\\
A(w)=22w-2w^2$

take the derivative of A(w), zero it out, check any critical points in the interval of (0, 22), for a maxima

recall, the aluminum sheet is just 22inches long, thus, whatever the "depth" or "w" is, has to be more than 0, and less than 22
