Answer: y = - 0.4 x - 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation y=mx+b
m is the slope
x is *ANY* x coordinate
y is *ANY* y coordinate
b is y intercept or WHERE the point is on the Y AXIS
Lets look at the given:
Slope (m) is -2/5
Passes through point 15, -9/2
As you can see, the point goes through the Y axis at (-9/2)
Our equation is y = - 0.4 x - 4.5
Answer:
26mph
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
176.39 inches or
14.70 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the right triangle made by Kristen, ground and shadow.
This triangle has one leg as 64 inches.
Next consider the right triangle formed by street light, ground upto shadow tip.
The two triangles have common angle of elevation and also another angle as 90 degrees.
Hence the two triangles would be similar
Also if A is the angle made by hypotenuse of both triangles with the ground we have

This value also equals by bigger triangle as

From these two we get
h = height of street light =
Approximately 84 people will be sick with the flu after 11 days. The equation is f(x)=36(1.08)^x and you would substitute the amount of days in for x. The formula I used is f(x)=ab^x where a is the initial value and b is the multiplicative rate of change.
