Answer:
y = -2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. We are told that the slope of the line is -2, so we can start with
y = mx + b
y = -2x + b
We can figure out the value of b by plugging in the coordinates of the point given (-2, 0)
0 = -2(-2) + b
0 = 4 + b
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
-4 = b
Then plug that value of b back into the equation above:
y = -2x + (-4) or y = -2x -4
3 ones = 3
7 hundredths = 7/100
So equivalent fraction is 3 7/100 or 307/100.
Equivalent decimal is: 3.07
<u><em>hi there user! Looks like your looking for help, so Mizuki came here to help you!</em></u>
the answer is:
<em>m is 2/3</em>
The whole work I did:
m + 4 ÷ 3 = 2
m + 4/3 = 2
m + 4/3 - 4/3 = 2 - 4/3
m = 6/3 - 4/3
m = 2/3
Anyways hope this helped! qwq
Question:
A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function
, where t is time in months. Which statement best
describes the population of insects?
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.
C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.
D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.
Answer:
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
True statement about the function
From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.
An exponential form is:
Compare to
If 
, then 
r represents growth rate
else, 
r represents decay rate
Since b < 0.97:
