In this context, you would be making a equation using the format: y=mx+b

M being your rate of change

X being the month

B being the starting number

Beverly is LOSING 4 pounds a month, so she would be decreasing by 4, or in other words, -4. That would be your M value

Beverly starts at 160, so that would be your B value

Your equation would look like this:

y= -4x+160

Your answer would be B. y = -4x +160

A) is not the answer because you can't be -160 pounds

C) is not the answer because the 1 is not part of the text.

D) is not the answer because 160 has to be used in the equation in order for it to make sense, you don't start at 0 pounds.

The answer is B) or y = -4x + 160


If her initial weight is 160 pounds, then you must subtract 4x, representing how much weight she lost over time, to find her current weight y


But, since y = 160 – 4x isn't an option, we can reverse to negatives as long as you change the addition/subtraction sign


So, subtracting positive 4x is the same as adding -4x


Therefore, y = 160 – 4x is the same as y = -4x + 160

a class has 60 students.Given that 85% passed a science test. Find the number of students who failed and then convert o %
Vanyuwa [196]

Given:

Total students = 60

Student passed = 85%

To find:

The number of students who failed and  then convert it in %.

Solution:

We have,

Number of passed student = 85% of Total students

                                            = \dfrac{85}{100}\times 60

                                            = 51

So, number of passes students is 51.

Number of students who failed = Total students - Passes students

                                                    = 60-51

                                                    = 9

So, number of students who failed is 9.

\text{Fail}\%=\dfrac{\text{Failed students}}{\text{Total students}}\times 100

\text{Fail}\%=\dfrac{9}{60}\times 100

\text{Fail}\%=15

Therefore, 15% students fail in the test.
