Answer: f(x) = (-1/2)x+1, choice B</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The diagonal line passes through 1 on the vertical y axis. So the y intercept is b = 1. This means the location of the y intercept is (0,1).
Start at (0,1) and move down 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0). This is another point on the diagonal line. The motion of "down 1 and right 2" is effectively the slope
slope = rise/run = -1/2
rise = -1, run = 2
The rise being negative means we have gone downhill as we move to the right.
With m = -1/2 as the slope and b = 1 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x+1
The last thing to do is replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = (-1/2)x+1 as the final answer.
Answer:
35 lbs is the final weight
Step-by-step explanation:
20 +23 = 43 lbs
Then they had to remove 8 lbs
43 - 8 =35
35 lbs is the final weight
Answer:
(-8,-4) and (-2,5). at reflect on x axis
Assuming you are solving for x...
Answer:
The tank will empty in 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a barrel contains 56 liters of kerosene, and it has two taps, one tap that draws 500 ml every 6 minutes and after first 5 liters are drawn from the barrel, the second tap also starts, and it draws 1 liter in every 5 minutes, to determine how many hours will be taken in all to empty the tank, the following calculation must be performed:
0.5 x X = 5
X = 5 / 0.5
X = 10
10 x 6 = 60
1 hour = 51 liters
1 hour 30 minutes = 51 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 42.5
2 hours = 42.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 34
2 hours 30 minutes = 34 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 25.5
3 hours = 25.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 17
3 hours 30 minutes = 17 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 8.5
4 hours = 8.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 0
Therefore, the tank will empty in 4 hours.
