Answer:

Statement A is TRUE.

Given an x value of 15, y would be ;

= 2.72 * 15

= 40.8

Coordinates would therefore be (15, 40.8)

Statement B is FALSE.

The coordinates of Y given are impossible given the coordinates of X. In this scenario, Y must always be greater than X as a result of the equation.

Statement C is TRUE.

The slope in the equation takes the form of the $2.72 price being charged per gallon of gasoline such that the total price of x gallons can be calculated by multiplying the number of gallons by $2.72

Statement D is FALSE.

If the price of gasoline were to decrease by $0.03, the slope would become 2.69 not 2.75. 2.75 would be the new slope if the price had increased by $0.03 instead of decreased.

Answer:

x=11, y=13

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2y=7

3x-2(x+2)=7 . - x + = - -2*+2=-4

3x-2x-4=7

1x-4=7

x=7+4

x=11

y=x+2

y=11+2

y=13

80% of Vanessa's final grade is based on the average score of her quizzes, which is 73.

Misha Larkins [42]

80% of quizzes + 20% of final = final grade

80% * 73 + 20% * x = 70

0.8 * 73 + 0.2x = 70

58.4 + 0.2x = 70

0.2x = 11.6

x = 58

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

It should be reported as 20.648%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 2 different observed values hence we shall use an average of the 2 values to report the result

Thus value is $\frac{19.564+21.731}{2}=20.6475%$

As we can see that the least count of our observations is upto 3 decimal places hence we have to report a result upto only 3 decimal places thus we need to round off the fourth decimal place thus the digit shall be increased by 1 since we have to drop off 5 and the digit before 5 is 7 which is an odd number.

Thus the result shall be 20.648%

Answer:

$(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ - False

$(4,6)$ - True

$(18,12)$ -- False

$(0,0)$ -- True

$(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ -- True

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are

$(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ , $(4,6)$ , $(18,12)$ , $(0,0)$ and $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ ---- missing from the question

Given

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$

Required

Determine if each of the points would be on $y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$

To do this, we simply substitute the value of x and of each point in $y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ .

(a) $(1\frac{1}{2},1)$

In this case;

$x = 1\frac{1}{2}$ and $y = 1$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{3}{2}$

$y = \frac{9}{4}$

$y = 2\frac{1}{4}$

The point $(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ won't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 1\frac{1}{2}$ is $y = 2\frac{1}{4}$

(b) $(4,6)$

In this case;

$x = 4$

$y = 6$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 4$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * 4$

$y = \frac{3* 4}{2}$

$y = \frac{12}{2}$

$y = 6$

The point $(4,6)$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 4$ is $y = 6$

(c) $(18,12)$

In this case:

$x = 18;y = 12$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 18$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * 18$

$y = \frac{3* 18}{2}$

$y = \frac{54}{2}$

$y = 27$

The point $(18,12)$ wouldn't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 18$ is $y = 12$

(d) $(0,0)$

In this case;

$x =0; y = 0$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 0$

$y = 0$

The point $(0,0)$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 0$ is $y = 0$

(e) $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$

In this case:

$x = 2\frac{1}{2}$ ; $y = 3\frac{3}{4}$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 2\frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{5}{2}$

$y = \frac{15}{4}$

$y = 3\frac{3}{4}$

The point $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 2\frac{1}{2}$ is $y = 3\frac{3}{4}$
