Answer:

14,181

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total population of seal pups =p

Ratio of Tagged to Total seal pups observed is given as:

200:600

Population of Tagged to Total Population therefore is:

4727: p

Equating both ratios

200:600=4727:p

200/600=4727/p

200 X p= 4727 X 600

p = (4727 X 600)/200

p=14,181

The total population of fur seals pups is 14,181

How to you graph a linear equation when all they say is y=4 what to do
dybincka [34]
-- Find any point where y=4

-- Find another point where y=4

-- With your ruler, draw a line between the two points.
You have a horizontal line, and every point on it has y=4 no matter what 'x' is.

The equation for every straight line is [ y = mx+b ].

This is the line where (m = 0) and (b = 4).

The perimeter of a rectangle is 32cm, its length is more than its width by 2 what's the area​
White raven [17]

Answer:

63 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

p = l + w + l + w

32 = 2l + 2w

32 = 2(w + 2) + 2w

32 = 2w + 4 + 2w

32 = 4w + 4

28 = 4w

7 = w

l = w + 2

l = 7 + 2

l = 9

Check your work:

32 = 9 + 7 + 9 + 7

32 = 32

Correct

A = l × w

A = 9 × 7

A = 63

What is the slope of the line through (-4.2) and (3,-3)?​
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Finding the slope using the two points:

The formula for slope is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-3\\y_{1} =2\\x_{2} =3\\x_{1} =-4

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-3-2}{3 - (-4)}

\frac{-5}{7}

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!
