In a certain region, the equation  y=19.485x+86.912  models the amount of a homeowner’s water bill, in dollars, where x is the n

umber of residents in the home.
What does the slope of the equation represent in context of the situation?

1. The water bill increases by about $19 every month.

2. The water bill increases by about $19 for every additional resident in the home.

3. The water bill increases by about $87 every month.

4. The water bill increases by about $87 for every additional resident in the home.

Answer:

It's choice 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=19.485x+86.912

The 19.485 is the slope of the graph of this equation.  This gives the rate of change of the amount of the bill (above $86.912)  for  each added resident (x).

Answer:

option 2: \large \frac{10}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

when dividing fractions, you can actually multiply them together by the reciprocal of the second one. (reciprocal is just flipping the fraction)

so, \frac{2}{3} ÷ \frac{4}{5}

becomes \frac{2}{3} * \frac{5}{4}

to multiply fractions together, just multiply the top and bottom.

2 * 5 = 10

3 * 4 = 12

so the answer would be \frac{10}{12}

Solve for x: 4 over x plus 4 over quantity x squared minus 9 equals 3 over quantity x minus 3
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4/x + 4/(x²-9) = 3/(x - 3) 

4 / x + 4 / [( x - 3) ( x + 3 )] = 3 / ( x - 3 )  / * x ( x - 3 ) ( x + 3 )

Restrictions : x ≠ 0,  x ≠ - 3 ,  x ≠ 3;

4 ( x + 3 ) ( x - 3 ) + 4 x = 3 x ( x + 3 )

4 ( x² - 9 ) + 4 x = 3 x² + 9 x

4 x² - 36 + 4 x - 3 x² - 9 x = 0

x² - 5 x - 36 = 0

x² - 9 x + 4 x - 36 = 0

x ( x - 9 ) + 4 ( x - 9 ) = 0

( x - 9 ) ( x + 4 ) = 0

x - 9 = 0,  or : x + 4 = 0

Answer:

x = 9,  x = - 4

How can I find the y-intercept of 3x-2y≤10?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step expla3

x − 2 y < 10

Solve for  y .

Tap for more steps...

y > − 5+ 3 x 2

Find the slope and the y-intercept for the boundary line.

Tap for more steps...

Slope:  

3 2

y-intercept:  

( 0 , − 5 )

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area above the boundary line since  

y

is greater than  

− 5 + 3 x 2 . y > − 5 +3 x2
