5% made means that out of every 100 shots she made 5 and therefore she missed 95 of them. You divide 95 by 100. To get percentage of missed shots in decimal form. It would be 0.95. Then multiply by the number of shots she took. Your answer would be 0.95 x 180

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5

Oxana [17]

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5

2.5 <= x < = 4.5

We graph this inequality using number line.

Here x lies between 2.5 and 4.5

While graphing, we start with closed circle at 2.5 because we have equal symbol .

Then shade till 4.5. Use closed circle at 4.5.

The graph is attached below.

Answer:

Question 4: $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5: $y=-5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Question 4

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that pass through the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as the slope (m):

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0. Plug this into $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5

1) Determine the slope (m)

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

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5$

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-5x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -3. Plug this into $y=-5x+b$ :

$y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3$
