samuel needs to estimate the product of 24 x 395. Explain two different methods Samuel can use to estimate.

JulsSmile [24]

Samuel needs to estimate the product of 24 x 395.

First method

We round the number to nearest tens

24 can be rounded to 20 because we have 4 on ones place

395 can be rounded to 400 because we have 5 in ones place so we add 1 with 9 and it becomes 10 . so we add 1 with 3 and got 400

20 * 400 = 8000

Second method:

We round the number to nearest hundreds place

24 have no number in hundreds place so it remains 24

395 can be rounded to 400 because we have 9 in tens place.

24 * 400 = 9600

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -6) and has a slope of - 1/3

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

$y = mx + b$

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope of - 1/3

This means that $m = -\frac{1}{3}$

So

$y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b$

Through the point (-6, -6)

This means that when $x = -6, y = -6$ . So

$y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b$

$-6 = -\frac{1}{3}(-6) + b$

$b + 2 = -6$

$b = -8$

The equation of the line is $y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8$

The number of a certain company's video stores can be approximated by the linear equation y= -264x+4682, where x is the number o

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair is $(7,2834)$

Y-intercept is $(0,4682)$

X-intercept is $(17.73,0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of a certain company's video stores can be approximated by the linear equation

$y= -264\ x+4682$

where $y$ is the number of stores and $x$ represents the number of years after 1990.

To find the missing co-ordinate for the ordered pair solution $(7,?)$

For the ordered pair, we are given the $x$ value which is =7 i.e 7 years after 1990. Thus we will plugin $x=7$ in the linear equation to get the $y$ value which is number of stores after 7 years from 1990.

$y= -264\ (7)+4682$

$y= -1848+4682$

$y= 2834$

Thus the ordered pair is $(7,2834)$

To find y-intercept which is the point where the line touches the y-axis, we would plugin $x=0$ in the equation as the x-coordinate is 0 at y-axis.

$y= -264\ (0)+4682$

$y= 0+4682$

$y=4682$

Thus y-intercept is at point $(0,4682)$

To find x-intercept which is the point where the line touches the x-axis, we would plugin $y=0$ in the equation as the y-coordinate is 0 at x-axis and thus for $x$
