What value of x satisfies the equation below? Explain how you know -3x = 15

1. Maryann is tracking the change in her vertical jump over 6 months. Use the table to write a linear function that models her j

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The independent variable is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The dependent variable it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

0.5(-10 + k) I did help asp

lana66690 [7]

use distributive property

0.5 x -10 = -5

0.5 x k = 0.5k

0.5(-10 + k) = 0.5k -5

Bob,Cal,and Pete each made a stack of baseball cards.Bob's stack was 0.2 meter high.Cal's stack was 0.24 meter high.Pete's stack

AlekseyPX

Answer:

0.24 > 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Bob's stack = 0.2m

Cal's stack = 0.24m

Pete's stack = 0.18m

To find?

A number sentence.

A simple sentence is a string/collection of words that contain a subject and a verb whereas a number sentence is a sentence that consist of mathematical operation like +, -, /, * together with an equality such as =, <, >, and like a sentence it also tell a fact.

So, the number sentence that compares cal's stack of cards to Pete's stack is

PLEASE HELP, BRAINLIEST FOR THE BEST ANSWER

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

Distance

=

√(x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

√ ( (−6) − 0)^2 +( (−3) − 4)^2

Subtract 0 from −6

√(−6)^2 + ( ( −3 ) −4 )^2

Raise −6 to the power of 2

√36 + ( ( −3 ) −4 )^2

Subtract 4 from −3

√36 + ( −7 )^2

Raise −7 to the power of 2

√ 36 + 49

Add 36 and 49
