Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: (8,5)(-12,-9)slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10y = mx + bslope(m) = 7/10use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5now we sub and find b, the y int5 = 7/10(8) + b5 = 56/10 + b5 - 56/10 = b50/10 - 56/10 = b-3/5 = bso ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard formy = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 1010y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -17x - 10y = 6So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.

(8,5)(-12,-9)
slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 7/10
use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = 7/10(8) + b
5 = 56/10 + b
5 - 56/10 = b
50/10 - 56/10 = b
-3/5 = b

so ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard form

y = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 10
10y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x
-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -1
7x - 10y = 6

So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.

The answer would be...

1/3n + 3/4n = n + 1

^^^That would be the last option

Hope this helped!

QveST [7]

Answer:

The answer for A is 1500 and B is 150

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is first make 25% into 25 over 100 or 25/100 then you divide which will give you 0.25 next you're gonna have to divide 375 by 0.25 which is 1,500. Then for B it do it again 60% to 60/100 next turn it into a decimal which is 0.60 or 0.6 then multiply 375 by 0.6 which is 225 then subtract 375 by 225 then you got the final answer:150. I hope I helped you

Use the given information and a calculator to find to the nearest tenth of a degree
Schach [20]

Answer:

111.4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write cos x = -0.3646.  Or, look up the symbols chart at the bottom of your page and click on Ф to obtain this character:  cos Ф = -0.3646.

If Ф is in Quadrant III, then the adjacent side is negative and the hypotenuse is positive.  

                                                         -1

Type this into your calculator:  cos     -0.3646.  Result:  1.934 (radians)

This converts to degrees as follows:

1.934 rad      180 degr

--------------- * --------------- = 111.4 degrees.  Note that this angle is in QIII.

        1              π rad
