I think there is a little error in your question. I guess You mean 60 vaccinations instead of 606060. I solved using 60 vaccinations.

Answer:Dr. Potter gave 32 polio vaccines and 28 measles vaccinations that year.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

Let number of polio vaccines be x

and number of measles vaccine be y

such that

total does of 60 vaccinations be expressed as

x+y = 60---- equation 1

And number of doses for both  vaccine to total 184 doses taken be expressed as

4x + 2y= 184 ---- equation 2

Step 2--- solving

x+y = 60---- equation 1

4x + 2y= 184 ---- equation 2

Making x the subject of formula in equation 1 and substituting it in equation 2

x= 60-y

4(60-y) +2y- 184

240-4y+2y=184

240-184= 4y-3y

56= 2y

y= 58/2 = 28

To get x , put the value of y=28 in equation 1 and solve

x+y=60

x=60-28

x=32

Therefore Dr. Potter gave 32 polio vaccines and 28 measles vaccinations that year.

What is the equation in slope-intercept from of the line that passes through the points (-4,47) and (2,-16
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h3>Y=-21/2x+5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>SLOPE FORMULA:</em></u>

y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁=rise/run

<u><em>SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM:</em></u>

y=mx+b

m represents the slope.

b represents the y-intercept.

y₂=(-16)

y₁=47

x₂=2

y₁=(-4)

Solve.

\displaystyle \mathsf{\frac{(-16)-47}{2-(-4)}=\frac{21}{6}=\frac{21}{2}=-\frac{21}{2}   }}

Furthermore, the y-intercept is 5.

y=-21/2x+5

The correct answer is y=-21/2x+5.

Write the following in function notation y = 3x - 10
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In function notation, where f is the function, f(x)=3x-10. Using f(x) means you can write things like f(0) which means: what is the value of the function when x=0? Think of f for flexibility, because functions have greater flexibility than variables like y.
