Answer: A. There were 500 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is decreasing by 9 liters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in the form; y =mx + c.

c in this equation is the value of y when x is at 0.

c in the above formula is 500 which means that the number of litres (y) at zero minutes(x) is 500 litres.

m is the rate of change as a result of a change in x.

m in this equation is -9 which means that the water is reducing by 9 litres every minute (x).

Solve the Quadratic Equation By Completing the Square b^2-15b-54=0

vladimir1956 [14]

$b^{2}-15b-54=0. \newline
b^{2}-15b=54. \newline
b^{2}-15b+(\frac{15}{2})^{2}=54+(\frac{15}{2})^{2}. \newline
(b-\frac{15}{2})^{2}=\frac{441}{4}. \newline
b-\frac{15}{2}=\pm\frac{21}{2}. \newline
b=\pm\frac{21}{2}+\frac{15}{2}. \newline
b_1 = -3, b_2 = 18.$

HELP PLEASE 40 POINTS The graph shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year. The tab

Vesna [10]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Since the lines goes through the point (0,0) the graph is proportional. We can find the rate of change by take the price of corn and dividing by the number of bushels

24/3 = 8 dollars/ bushel

Part B

Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars)

3 21

6 42

9 63

12 84

We can find the rate of change for the previous year by using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (84-63)/(12-9)

=21 / 3

= 7

The previous year was 7 dollars per bushel

The increase was 8-7 = 1 dollar per bushel
