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>

The angle marked a = 75°.<br> Work out the value of x.<br><br> The diagram is not drawn accurately.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x+75=180

x=180-75

x=105

Step-by-step explanation:

x and a are on a straight line

a straight line=180

so you add the x to a=180

Examine the system of equations. y = 3 2 x − 6, y = −9 2 x + 21 Use substitution to solve the system of equations. What is the v
nadezda [96]

Answer:

<h2>y = -4/9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations y = 3/2 x − 6, y = −9/2 x + 21, since both expressions are functions of y, we will equate both of them to find the variable x;

3/2 x − 6 = −9/2 x + 21,

Cross multiplying;

3(2x+21) = -9(2x-6)

6x+63 = -18x+54

collecting the like terms;

6x+18x = 54-63

24x = -9

x = -9/24

x = -3/8

To get the value of y, we will substitute x = -3/8 into any of the given equation. Using the first equation;

y = 3/2x-6

y = 3/{2(-3/8)-6}

y = 3/{(-3/4-6)}

y = 3/{(-3-24)/4}

y = 3/(-27/4)

y = 3 * -4/27

y = -4/9

Hence, the value of y is -4/9

The first term is 8 Each term is 4 more than double the previous term.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

8*2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since we multiply from the previous term.

a_n = a_1 * common ratio^(n-1) where a_n is the nth number and a_1 is the first.

The first term is 8, so we have

a_n = 8*<common ratio>^(n-1) = 8*2^(n-1)
