Y = mx+b
-1 = 13/4 (-1) +b
-4/4 + 13/4 = b
9/4 = b
Hi there!
First we need to remember the following.

Now substitute both of the formulas.

Work out the parenthesis.

And finally collect terms.

~ Hope this helps you!
Here is the solution based on the given problem above.
Given: Area of the piece of paper = 84 square inches
Width = 10 1/2 or 10.5 inches long
? = length of the piece of paper
To find the area of an object, the formula would be A= L x W
Now, let's substitute the given values above
84in2 = L(10.5in)
Now, divide both sides with 10.5 and we get 8.
L = 8 inches.
Therefore, the length of the paper is 8 inches.
Hope this solution helps.
Answer:
9 represents the initial height from which the ball was dropped
Step-by-step explanation:
Bouncing of a ball can be expressed by a Geometric Progression. The function for the given scenario is:

The general formula for the geometric progression modelling this scenario is:

Here,
represents the initial height i.e. the height from which the object was dropped.
r represents the percentage the object covers with respect to the previous bounce.
Comparing the given scenario with general equation, we can write:
= 9
r = 0.7 = 70%
i.e. the ball was dropped from the height of 9 feet initially and it bounces back to 70% of its previous height every time.
-2^6-(6)^2= -100. Hope this helps have a great day. :)
