I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
Answer:
a n = -3+(n-1)-30
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 - 30 = -33
-33 - 30 = -63
-63 - 30 = -93
The common difference here is -30. d = -30
The explicit formula is a n = a1 + (n-1)d
He scored 24 points which means that after scoring the 4 three pointers, he would have to score another 4 three pointers (12 points)
Answer:
30 s
Step-by-step explanation:
When the ball hits the ground h=0. To find the time t when this happens we must solve the equation h=0.
●h= 0
● -12t^2+360t =0
● t(-12t +360) = 0
● t = 0 or -12t +360 =0
● t=0 or -12t = -360
● t=0 or 12t =360
● t=0 or t=360/12
● t=0 or t= 30
The equation has two solutions.
The ball was fired with an initial speed of 800 feet per second so it cannot hit the ground at t=0.
So the ball hits the ground after 30 s.
I believe the answer is 4,523. Correct me if im wrong
