Answer:
We conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form 
.
Hence, option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the line or linear equation
where
is the slope
is the y-intercept
<u>Important Tip:</u>
The graph of a linear equation is always a straight line.
Convert the given equation in the slope-intercept form
subtract 18x from both sides
simplify
divide both sides by 9
Now, comparing the equation with a slop-intercept form of linear equation
- The y-intercept b = -416/9
Therefore, we conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form .
From the attached graph, is also clear that the graph of the equation is a straight line.
Hence, option D is correct.
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominators the same by finding the lcm(least common denominator). The least common demominator would be 24. So multiply both numbers in 1/8 by 3. This would eaqual 3/24. Multiply both numbersin 4/3 by 8. This would equal 
= 
. Simplify 96/576 by dividing both numbers by 96.
<u>96</u> ÷ 96 = <u> 1 </u> 576 ÷ 96 = 6 and that becomes 1/6.
8x-41+9x+17= 180 (becuase they lie on a straight line)
17x-24=180
Move twenty four to the other side as a positive
17x=204
Divide both sides by 17
X is equal to 12
The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>
The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
So, I will give a general explanation to solve the question
A population function can be represented as:
Where:
- The initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas is represented by (a)
- The rate at which the population changes is represented by (r)
- The number of years since 2022 is represented by (x)
- The population in x years is represented by (y)
From the question, we understand that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases.
This means that the rate of the function would be an exponential decay i.e. 1 -r
Take for instance:
By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
