Answer:

0.75 days (im a bit unsure but i tried my best, hope this helps :) )

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 8 technicians 36 hours to test 560 samples, find how many technicians can test 525 samples.

8: 560

x: 525

x= 7.5 (which is considered 7)

Then, find how long it takes to sample 525 samples, when 560 are done in 36 hours;

560: 36

525: x

x= 33.75 (which is considered 34 hours)

The last step is to check how long 15 technicians take to sample 525 samples when 8 can do the same number in 34 hours. this is inverse proportion so dont forget to flip one numerator and denominator

8; 34

15; x

it will become

15:34

8: x

x= 18 hours

Divide by 24 for days hence 0.75 days

Draw a line representing the "run" and a line representing the "rise" of the line. State the slope of the line in simplest form.

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{\frac{9}{13}}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the image file is missing, which is defined in the attached file. please find it.

$\to raise= y_2-y_1$

$=-1-(-10)\\\\=-1+10\\\\=9$

$\to run= x_2-x_1$

$=9-(-4)\\\\=9+4\\\\=13$

$\to \text{formula for slope} =\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{9}{13}$

Members of the student concil are conducting a fundraiser by selling school calendars. After selling 80 calendars, they had a lo

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a) $y=8x-1000$

b) $profit=\$8$

c) They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case we know that "y" represents the profit of loss and "x" the number of calendars sold.

Then, according to the exercise, the line passes through these two points:

$(80,-360)$ and $(200,600)$

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-360-600}{80-200}=8$

Now, we can substitute the slope and one of those points into $y=mx+b$ and solve for "b":

$600=8(200)+b\\\\b=-1000$

Then, subtituting values, we get that the equation that describes the relation between the profit of loss and the number of calendars sold, is:

$y=8x-1000$

b) The slope of the line is the profit they made from selling each calendar

$profit=8$

c) The y-intercept is the amount they would have lost if they had sold no calendars:

$b=-1000$

They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.

Which graph represents a function with an initial value of 1/2

melisa1 [442]

<span>The initial value is the value of the y-coordinate when the x-coordinate is equal to 0. That is the same to say the value at which the graph intercepts the y-axis. So, you justt have to pick the graph whose line intercepts the y-axis at 1/2. </span>
