Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

Graph a line with a slope of 4 that contains the point (3,0). FOR 100 POINTS PLS
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Hi there!

Recall that slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Where m = slope

In this instance, we are given a slope of 4,

therefore:

y = 4x + b

Substitute in the x and y coordinates of the point given:

0 = 4(3) + b

0 = 12 + b

Substract 12 from both side:

-12 = b

Therefore, the equation would be:

y = 4x - 12

Graph the equation by finding x and y values or using a calculator:

x = 0, y = 4(0) - 12 = 12 (0, 12)

x = 1, y = 4(1) - 12 = - 8 (1, -8)

x = 2, y = 4(2) - 12 = - 4 (2, -4)

x = 3, y = 4(3) - 12 = 0 (3, 0)

And so forth:

Thanks<8
