Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.

Why does the fraction 20/25 not belong with 1/20, 2/3 and 5/4?
devlian [24]
I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s because 20/25 can still be simplified further, while the other 3 can’t.

HELP ASAP!!!!!
Sergeu [11.5K]
Answer: Y= - 1/2x - 8
If you move y to one side by itself that’s what you’ll get and you can check this answer by multiplying each side by 2 and moving the x ti the left side and you’ll get your beginning equation
