A school system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. In week 5, there were 60 dumpster loads of

waste removed. In week 10, there were 40 dumpster loads removed. Assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week.
f(x) = −4x + 60
f(x) = 4x + 60
f(x) = −4x + 80
f(x) = 4x + 80

Answer:

f(x) = -4x + 80

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two points,

(5, 60) and (10, 40)

in order to get the equation, let's use the form slope-intercept form

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

m = (60 - 40) / (5 - 10)

m = 20/-5

m = -4

Get the x intercept

y = mx + b

60 = (-4)(5) + b

b = 60+20

b = 80

so the equation is

y = -4x + 80

f(x) = -4x + 80

Answer:

The variable in the equation is represented by

✔ y

.

To solve the equation, you must find the

✔ value of y

that makes the equation true.

1 is a solution of the equation because

✔ 5 = 5

is a true statement

MATH QUESTION!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! PAST DUE HELP ASAP!!!

Answer:

<em>Proof below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

In any right triangle, i.e., where one of its internal angles is 90°, some interesting relations stand. One of the most-used is Pythagora's Theorem.

In a right triangle with shorter sides a and b, and longest side c, called the hypotenuse, the following equation is satisfied:

c^2=a^2+b^2

The image provided in the question shows a line passing through points A(0,4) and B(3,0) that forms a right triangle with both axes.

The origin is marked as C(0,0) and the point M is the midpoint of the segment AB. We have to prove.

CM=\frac{1}{2}AB

First, find the coordinates of the midpoint M(xm,ym):

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{0+3}{2}=1.5

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{4+0}{2}=2

Thus, the midpoint is M( 1.5 , 2 )

Calculate the distance CM:

CM=\sqrt{(1.5-0)^2+(2-0)^2}

CM=\sqrt{2.25+4}=\sqrt{6.25}=2.5

CM=2.5

Now find the distance AB:

AB=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(4-0)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}

AB=5

AB/2=2.5

It's proven CM is half of AB

30 Points!!Need Help Please!!! Will give Brainliest!!!
mixer [17]

Since DC = 12, then EF also = 12.

Both AD and BC are indicated to be the same .

So AE = (24 - 12) / 2 = 12/2 = 6


Now you have a right triangle with height DE = 8 and base AE = 6


Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can now find AD:


AD = √(8^2 + 6^2)

AD = √(64 + 36)

AD =√100

AD = 10
