We have been given that the number of species of coastal dune plants in Australia decreases as the latitude, in °s, increases.
Further we know that there are 34 species at 11°s and 26 species at 44°s.
We can express the given information at two ordered pairs as shown below:
Let us find slope of the line through these points:
Therefore, we can write the equation of line in slope intercept form as:
Where b is the y intercept, and we can find its value using one of the two points.
Therefore, the required equation of the linear function is:
Answer: It will move up 5 spaces on the y-axis.
Step-by-step explanation: y=mx+b where b is the y-intercept (where it will be on the y-axis). In the 1st one it doesn’t have a b so there is no y-intercept so it will pass through point (0,0). In the 2nd one since your adding 5 it will now pass through point (0,5). Because it shifted up 5 on the y-axis.
Answer: w lesser than or equal to 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Dwight and Walt are building model cars.
Let d = the number of models built by Dwight.
Let w = the number of models built by Walt.
Dwight builds 7 fewer models than 4 times the number Walt builds. This can be expressed as
d = 4w - 7 - - - - - - - - - 1
Dwight builds at most 9 models. This is expressed as
d lesser than or equal to 9
From equation 1
d = 4w - 7
4w = d + 7
w = (d+7)/4
Assuming Dwight built 9 models
w = (9+7)/4 = 4
Therefore,
Walt builds at most 4 models. It is expressed as
w lesser than or equal to 4
It is shown in the attached photo
Answer:
12(m -5) = 540
Step-by-step explanation:
The left side of the equation is in the form of a product. A suitable product is ...
(calories/minute) × (minutes jogging) = (calories burned)
If m represent Anzelm's total minutes, then m-5 will represent the number of minutes actually jogging. This is what goes inside parentheses, so we have ...
(12 calories per minute) × ((m -5) minutes) = 540 calories
Leaving off the units, which we know are consistent, we have ...
12 (m -5) = 540
