Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
General Equation: y = mx + b
You need two pieces of data to solve this.
When x = 1, y = 8
8 = 1x + b
When x = -1, y = 3
3 = - x + b
==================
8 = x + b
3 = -x + b If we add we get b so let's add.
11 =2b Divide by 2
11/2 = b
==================
y = mx + b
y = mx + 11/2 Now we can solve for m
3 = -m + 11/2 Subtract 11/2
3 - 11/2 = - m
- 2 1/2 = -m multiply by - 1
2 1/2 = m
m = 5/2
The answer is D
Answer:
Number of boys = 675
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
There are 5 times as many boys as girls in a school.
Number of pupils in school = 810
Let,
x be the number of girls
y be the number of boys
According to given statement;
x+y=810 Eqn 1
y = 5x Eqn 2
Putting y=5x in the Eqn 1
x+5x=810
6x=810
Dividing both sides by 6
Putting x=135 in Eqn 2
y = 5(135)
y = 675
Hence,
Number of boys = 675
Since x represents the number of students, and y represents the number of adult chaperones (and x does not include y), the best answer is A, that there are x = 50 students on the field trip, and they are accompanied by y = 5 chaperones.
Note the difference with choice c, which says that 50 is the total (45 students, 5 adults).
The answer would be (A) <span>(x − 4)^2 + (y − 4)^2 = 16
