Write an equation if the line that passes through (0,-3) and (3,3) .

liq [111]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (3-(-3))/(3-0)

m = 6/3

m = 2

y = mx + b

y = 2x + b

3 = 2(3) + b

3 = 6 + b

b = -3

therefore

y = 2x - 3

The perimeter of a square is to be between 14 and 72 feet, inclusively. Find all possible values for the length of its sides. (&

xxMikexx [17]

We know that the perimeter is the all the sides added up together. Generally, you have $p = 2l+2w$ , where l is length and w is width.

For a square, all sides are of the same length, so you can write $p=4x$ , where x is any side.

If the smallest perimeter is 14, then $14 = 4x$ , so x is 3.5. If the largest perimeter is 72, then $72 = 4x$ , so x is 18.

Therefore, you have 3.5 ≤ x ≤ 18.

For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average).

So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6.

Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game
