<h3>Answer:  Choice D)  y = 2x-2</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Apply the slope formula

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

m = (16-8)/(9-5)

m = 8/4

m = 2

Then use this slope, along with another point such as (x,y) = (5,8) to find b

y = mx+b

8 = 2*5+b

8 = 10+b

8-10 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Or you could use the other point (x,y) = (9,16)

y = mx+b

16 = 2*9+b

16 = 18+b

16-18 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Either way, we get the same y intercept.

So because m = 2 is the slope and b = -2 is the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = 2x-2

-------------------

To help verify the answer, note how plugging x = 5 leads us to...

y = 2x-2

y = 2*5 - 2

y = 10-2

y = 8

So x = 5 and y = 8 pair up together. This verifies (5,8) is on the line.

Through similar steps, you should find that the input x = 9 leads to the output y = 16. So that would confirm (9,16) is also on the line, and fully confirm the answer.

Answer:

D: y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. \frac{16-8}{9-5} = 2

2. y = 2x + b

3. Insert the points into the equation: 8 = 10 + b

4. b = -2

5. y = 2x - 2

Answer:

Divide both sides by -1/3, Apply distributive property, add 1/3 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

If its confusing just replace -1/3 with a simple number such as -1, to make it make sense.

A solution is heated from 0°C to 100°C. Between 0°C and 50°C, the rate of temperature increase is 1.5°C/min. Between 50°C and 10
muminat

Answer:

0.6 °C/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between rates and movement is ...

time = distance/speed

Here, the "distance" is measured in °C, and the "speed" is the rate of change of temperature.

For the first half of the heating, the time required is ...

(50°C -0°C)/(1.5 °C/min) = 50/(3/2) min = 100/3 min

For the second half of the heating, the time required is ...

(100°C -50°C)/(4/10 °C/min) = 50/(4/10) = 125 min

Then the total time is ...

((100/3) +125) min = (475/3) min

And the average rate of temperature increase is ...

total temperature change / total time

= (100°C -0°C)/(475/3 min) = 300/475 °C/min = 12/19 °C/min ≈ 0.6 °C/min
