A pediatrician records the age (in months) and the height (in inches) of a baby over time and creates a scatter plot. Using the

scatter plot, the pediatrician determines that the model that can be used to predict the baby's height is y=1.3x+18, where y is the height of the baby and x is the age of the baby. What does the 18 in the equation tell us? Need help plz i will make you the brilliants

A cat chases a mouse. The cat is originally 4 feet behind the mouse, which is running in the same direction along the same route
Darya [45]

The cat will take 0.8 seconds  to catch up with the mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  distance between the cat and the mouse =  4 feet

cat's speed  = 17 feet per second.

mouse's speed =  12 feet per second

To Find:

how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?

Solution:

We know that

distance  = speed x  time

Rewriting the equation for time we get

time  =\frac{distance }{speed}

now we know that distance is  4 feet

and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second

Thus the time is

= \frac{4}{5}

= 0.8 seconds

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the<br> value of y when x equals 24.<br> -2x + 2y = -56
bixtya [17]

Answer:

<h2>For x = 24, y = -4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Put\ x=24\ to\ the\ equation\ -2x+2y=-56,\ and\ solve\ it\ for\ y:\\\\-2(24)+2y=-56\\\\-48+2y=-56\qquad\text{add 48 to both sides}\\\\-48+48+2y=-56+48\\\\2y=-8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2y}{2}=\dfrac{-8}{2}\\\\y=-4

Help? y - intercepts <br> What is the y-intercept of the equation 2x + 3y = 12?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 12 Is the standard form for linear equations. To determine the slope, solve the equation for y in order to convert to the slope - intercept from7 y = mx + b where is m the slop and b is the y - intercept.

2x + 3y = 12

subtract 2x from both sides.

3y = -2x + 12

Divide both sides by 3.

y= - 2/3 x + 12/3 =

y= - 2/3x + 4

The slope is - 2/3
