Trey believes there is a correlation between the number of texts sent during class and GPA. He collected data and found that the

line of best fit for his data can be modeled by the equation y = 3.8 − 0.4x.
Identify and interpret the slope in this scenario.

Answer: First Option

The slope is −0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will decrease by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following form

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the axis of the y

In this case, the equation is:

y = 3.8 - 0.4x\\\\y=-0.4x+3.8

Observe that

m = -0.4\\b = 3.8

So if x represents the number of texts sent during classes, this means that x\geq 0

When x increases by one unit then y decreases -0.4. For example when x=1 then y=3.8-0.4=3.4

Then the greatest value it can take the GPA is 3.8. Therefore we can say that the function starts at y = 3.8.

Examine this right triangle. A right triangle has a side length of 16 meters and hypotenuse of 20 meters. Which equation can be
Sergeu [11.5K]

The equation can be used to find the missing leg in the triangle 20^{2} = 16^{2} +a^{2}.

<h3>What is the right triangle?</h3>

A right-angle triangle is a triangle that has a side opposite to the right angle the largest side and is referred to as the hypotenuse.

It is given that a right triangle has a side length of 16 meters and a hypotenuse of 20 meters.

From a Pythagoras theorem

b^{2} = c^{2} +a^{2} \\20^{2} = 16^{2} +a^{2}\\20^{2}-16^{2} =a^{2}\\a^{2} = 20^{2}-16^{2} \\

Thus, the equation can be used to find the missing leg in the triangle 20^{2}-16^{2} =a^{2}.

Is (3,4) a solution to the system of<br> equations. <br> X + y = 7<br> x - 2y = - 5
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Yes, the point (3,4) is a solution to the system.

===================================================

Proof of this:

Replace x with 3 and y with 4 in the first equation

x+y = 7

3+4 = 7

7 = 7

This confirms the first equation. Repeat for the second equation

x-2y = -5

3-2(4) = -5

3 - 8 = -5

-5 = -5

We get true equations for both when we plug in (x,y) = (3,4). This confirms it is a valid solution to the system of equations. It turns out it's the only solution to this system of equations. Visually, the two lines cross at the single location (3,4).

It cost Naomi $7.70 to send 154 text messages. How many text messages did she send
s2008m [1.1K]

You have to find the unit rate

SO..

7.70 / 154 = 0.05

So it cost her 0.05 cents for each text.

So then you divide $ 5.25 by the unit rate to get the number of text

5.25 /0.05 = 105

so she sent 105 text

To check it you just multiply the unit rate by the number of text you got and you show come up with $ 5.25

0.05 x 105 = 5.25

There were 200,000 animals of a certain species in 1980. Since then,this number has decreased by 4.5% each year. Approximately h
g100num [7]

Answer: Approximately 25187 animals of this species will be left in 2025

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the population of animals after x years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population of animals.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

b = 200000

r = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

x = 2025 - 1980 = 45 years

Therefore,

y = 200000(1 - 0.045)^45

y = 200000(0.955)^45

y = 25187
