Answer:

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope=m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here

$(x_1, y_1)=(2, -4) \ \ and \ \ (x_2, y_2)=(5, -8)$

$m=\frac{-8-(-4)}{5-2}$

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

A bacteria culture contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After one hour the population has increased

xenn [34]

We know it begins at 100. If we use a*b^t, then 100 is our a. 100*b^t. We can now divide 480 by 100. This is 4.8. 4.8 is b. f(t) = 100(4.8)^t

After the drama club sold 100 tickets to a show, it had $300 in profit. After the next show, it had sold a total of 200 tickets

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Option a : $y-300 = 4(x - 100)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The drama club sold 100 tickets to a show, it had $300 in profit.

The next show, it had sold a total of 200 tickets and had a total of $700 profit.

To Find : Equation models the total profit, y, based on the number of tickets sold, x

Solution :

For 100 tickets he had $300 in profit .

⇒ ( $x_{1} ,y_{1}$ )=(100,300)

For 200 tickets he had $700 in profit .

⇒ ( $x_{2} ,y_{2}$ )=(200,700)

We will use point slope form i.e.

$y-y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$ --(A)

Now, to calculate m we will use slope formula :

$m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

$m = \frac{700 -300}{200-100}$

$m =4$

Now, putting values in (A)

$y-300 = 4(x - 100)$

Thus Option a is correct i.e. $y-300 = 4(x - 100)$
