Liam is reading a 254-page book for school. He can read 40 pages in one hour. The equation for the number of pages he has left t

o read is y=254-40x, where x is the number of hours he reads.
a. State the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation.
b. Graph the equation.
c. Interpret what the slope and the y-intercept represent.

So y=mx+b where m=the slope and b the y intercept is the equation you need to think about..
Now look at the equ. you have, y=254-40x, notice a similarity???
   a.slope (m)=-40
      y-intercept (b)= 254
   b. To graph this, put a dot at (0,254) --this is the y-intercept remember, so thats where we are marking the y-axis at 254, then go down(b/c it's neg.) 40 over 1 (this is your slope remember, -40/1 or -40 over 1  ---which would =-40) and place another dot, connect the dots a voila! You've graphed it!!
   c. So lets think, the y-intercept (254) is the <em>starting point</em>, when we've read zero hours we have 254 pages left. So the slope (-40) is the amount that we can read per hour, <em>for every hour we read, we subtract 40 pages.</em>

What is the answer help plz
olga55 [171]

Answer:

y = -3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope can be found using rise/run which comes out to be -3/1 and you can drop the 1 from the fraction to have -3. and then the y-intercept is found from where the line crosses the y-axis

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 6/5 . Find the number
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

-6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

solution;

let,the number be x,

product of <u>twice</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>x</u> and <u>six</u> = the <u>difference </u>

<u>difference of eleven times x and 6/5</u>

or, (2x×6)=(11×x)-(6/5)

or, 12x = 11x - 6/5

or, 12x - 11x = -6/5

therefore,x =-6/5

Therefore, the number required is (-6/5) whose product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 6/5 .

Cassie has test grades of 62, 85 and 89 on the first three tests in herpre-algebra class. What are the possible scores she can m
Vsevolod [243]

Explanation:

The test grade for 1st three tests = 62, 85, 89

Let the fourth test score = x

The result we hoping to get is grade B.

Let's find the average of the four test score

\text{Average = }\frac{Su\text{ m of all test score}}{nu\text{mber of test score}}\begin{gathered} s\text{ um of test scores = 62 + 85 + 89 + x} \\ nu\text{mber of test score = 4} \\ \frac{\text{62 + 85 + 89 + x}}{4}=\text{ Average} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} A\text{ grade B represents atleast 80} \\ \text{Atleast represents }\ge \\ \frac{\text{62 + 85 + 89 + x}}{4}\text{ }\ge\text{ 80} \\ \frac{\text{236 + x}}{4}\text{ }\ge\text{  80} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{236 + x }\ge\text{ }80(4) \\ \text{236 + x }\ge\text{ }320 \\ \text{subtract }236\text{ from both sides:} \\ 236\text{ - 236 + x }\ge\text{ }320\text{ - 23}6 \\ x\text{ }\ge\text{  84} \end{gathered}

This means Cassie needs to score 84 or more to get a grade of B
