For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x. "y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:
slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.
The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9

12 units
<u>Explanation</u>
This can be solved using the properties of a circle.
DG and EG are secants f the circle.
DG×HG =EG×FG
(x+3+5)×5 = (x+6)×6
(x+8)5 = 6x + 36
5x +40 = 6x + 36
x = 4
DG = (x+3+5)
= 4 + 3 + 5
= 12 units
.04*7115.68=284.6272
$284.62 or $284.63 (depending on how lenient your teacher is with rounding)
Speed is given by the distance traveled divided by the time spent.
The net speed with which the plane traveled against the wind is given by

while the speed with which the plane travelled in the return trip is given by
Let the speed of the plane be v and the speed of the wind be w, then when the plane was traveling against the sun, we have, v - w = 168.57 and when the plane is travelling in the direction of the wind, we have, v + w = 236.
Subtracting the first equation from the second equation, we have: 2w = 236 - 168.57 = 67.43
Thus, w = 67.43 / 2 = 33.715
Therefore, the speed of the wind is approximately 33.7 mi/hr.
