Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Reason:

  • <em>The </em><em>power</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>term</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em>.</em>
  • <em>It</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>graphed</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>at.</em><em> </em><em>line</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>graph</em><em>.</em>

<em>Yo</em><em>u</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>simpl</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>defi</em><em>ne</em><em> </em><em>linear</em><em> </em><em>eq</em><em>uation</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>eq</em><em>uation</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>has</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>vari</em><em>ables</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>exponent</em><em>.</em>

<em>So</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>graph</em><em> </em><em>out</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>why</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>called</em><em> </em><em>linear</em><em> </em><em>equation</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>It</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>tw</em><em>o</em><em> variables</em><em> with</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>exponent</em><em>.</em>

<em><u>Hop</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u> it</u></em><em><u> helps</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

Answer:

Y=mx+b Is a linear equasion because if you plot the x and y on a graph it always shows a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, y=7x+9,

When x is 1 y is 16, and

when x is 2 y is 23.

When you put those two points on a graph and connect the dots with a ruler, you get a straight line, and you will automatically find that when x is 3 y is 30.

After being treated with chemotherapy, the radius of the tumor decreased by 23%. What is the corresponding percentage decrease i
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that tumor has an spherical geometry, whose volume (V) is calculated by:

V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}

Where R is the radius of the tumor.

The percentage decrease in the volume of the tumor (\%V) is expressed by:

\%V = \frac{\Delta V}{V_{o}} \times 100\,\%

Where:

\Delta V - Absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor.

V_{o} - Initial volume of the tumor.

The absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor is:

\Delta V = V_{o}-V_{f}

\Delta V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot (R_{f}^{3}-R_{o}^{3})

The percentage decrease is finally simplified:

\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{R_{f}}{R_{o}}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%

Given that R_{o} = R and R_{f} = 0.77\cdot R, the percentage decrease in the volume of tumor is:

\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{0.77\cdot R}{R}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%

\%V = 54.34\,\%

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Which is bigger 0.17 or 0.165 meters
zavuch27 [327]
Your numbers are .17 and .165 meters

Let me explain each digit value:

Lets start with .17

Decimals are like whole numbers where each placement has a digit value

.1 is the tenths place

.07 is the hundredths place

Lets turn to .165

.1 is the tenths place

.06 is the hundredths place

.005 is the thousandths place

When seeing which decimal is larger, go along the tenths place and move along.


So as you can see
, .17 and .165 start with .1 so you can't see which is bigger by this. Now move on to the next digit. Which is larger? .17 or .16? As you should know, 7 is bigger than 6 so that means .17 is larger

Answer: .17 meters is larger than .165 meters
