Answer:
y = 8x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve for the function by finding the slope of the linear function using two points. Let's use (0,8) and (1,16)
Slope formula is: 
Plug in the 2 points: 
Simplify: m = 8
So now, for the equation y = mx+b, we have m which is y = 8x+b
Now we need to find b by using another point from this linear function.
We can use the point (2,24).
Plug this point into the equation y = 8x+b
- 24 = 8(2)+b
- 24 = 16 + b
- b = 8
We have now found the equation of the linear function: y = 8x+8
Answer:
My answer is letter A in a graph
Answer:
5/6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:
= 
Cross multiply and solve for x:
1/5x = 1/6
x = 5/6
So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile
Lets call those two unknown numbers a, b and write the info in the problem as equations:
a*b = 30
a + b = 40
lets solve for a in the second equation and substitute in the first:
<span>a + b = 40
</span>a = 40 - b
therefore:
<span>a*b = 30
</span>(40 - b)b = 30
40b - b^2 = 30
b^2 - 40b + 30 = 0
if we apply the general quadratic equation to solve we have:
b = (40 +- √(1600 - 120))/2
b = (40 +- √(1480<span>))/2
</span>b = (40 +- 38.47)/2
There are two solutions:
<span>b1 = (40 + 38.47)/2
</span><span>b1 = 39.24
b2 = (40 - 38.47)/2
</span>b2 = 0.765
lets use the second solution <span>b2 = 0.765, and substitute in the first equation to find a:
</span><span>a*b = 30
</span>a*0.765 = 30
a = 30/0.765
a = 39.216
so the numbers are 39.216 and 0.765
The inverse of -2.5 is 2.5 ;]
