Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached herewith.

Also the options for the same are as follows -

What is the meaning of the slope of the trend line shown on the scatterplot?

A A plant grows about 3 inches for every 2 hours of sunlight it receives.

B A plant grows about 2 inches for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

C A plant grows about 3 inches for every 1 hour of sunlight it receives.

D A plant grows about 1 inch for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

Solution

If we look at the graph, we can see that in 6 hours the tomato plant grew by 2 inches.

At the X axis, when x = 6 hours, the y co-ordinate at X = 6 hours is 2 inches.

Hence, It can be interpreted that 1 inch of the tomato plant grows in 3 hours.

Hence, option D is correct

5/8(x-1/3)=5/12 can someone help me figure out what x is?

eimsori [14]

Solve for x:(5 (x - 1/3))/(8) = 5/12
Put each term in x - 1/3 over the common denominator 3: x - 1/3 = (3 x)/3 - 1/3:(5 (3 x)/3 - 1/3)/(8) = 5/12
(3 x)/3 - 1/3 = (3 x - 1)/3:(5 (3 x - 1)/3)/(8) = 5/12
3×8 = 24:(5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12
Multiply both sides of (5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12 by 24/5:(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = (24×5)/(5×12):(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (5×24)/(5×24)×(3 x - 1) = 3 x - 1:3 x - 1 = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = 5/5×24/12 = 24/12:3 x - 1 = 24/12
The gcd of 24 and 12 is 12, so 24/12 = (12×2)/(12×1) = 12/12×2 = 2:3 x - 1 = 2
Add 1 to both sides:3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 2
1 - 1 = 0:3 x = 2 + 1
2 + 1 = 3:3 x = 3
Divide both sides of 3 x = 3 by 3:(3 x)/3 = 3/3
3/3 = 1:x = 3/3
3/3 = 1:Answer: x = 1
