Answer:
(-20 - 10) / (-12 - (-10))
-30 / -2
30/2
now the midpoint would be half the two points
30/2 ÷ 2/2 = 15/1
So add 15 to -20 (or subtract 15 from 10) for the y, and add 1 to -12 (or subtract 1 from -10) for the x.
Answer:
y = - 3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
3x + y - 1 = 0 ( subtract 3x - 1 from both sides )
y = - 3x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (1, 4) into the partial equation
4 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 3 = 7
y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line in form y = mx + c
Answer:
<em>(a) 40 milligrams</em>
<em>(b) 1.21 milligrams</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Function</u>
It's commonly used to model real situations in life, like this one proposed in the question where the number of milligrams of a drug D(h) in a patient's bloodstream h hours after the drug is injected is modeled by the following function.

(a) The initial amount injected to the patient can be found when h=0

Initial amount: 40 milligrams
(b) Let's plug h=7
D(7) =40e^{-0.5(7)}=40e^{-3.5}=1.21
The amount in the bloodstream after 7 hours is 1.21 milligrams
