Answer:
y = -x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a linear graph is y = mx + b
you know the m = -1
so now the equation is y = -x + b
from here, what you could do to find b is...
plug (-1, -3) into the equation
1) x = -1, y = -3
2) -3 = -(-1) + b
3) -3 = 1 + b
4) -4 = b
or you can look at the y-intercept which is where the line intersects with the y-axis
it seems to be (0, -4)
so "b" would be equal to -4
this makes the final equation y = -x + (-4) or y = -x - 4
f(3) = -4 as 3 lies between 2 and 5
Answer:
200 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
First hour he sold 15% <em>(remaining is 85%)</em>
Second hour he sold 20% of remaining <em>(which is 85%)</em> -- so he sold 
, which is 17% (remaining 85-17=68%)
Third hour he sold 25% of remaining <em>(which is 68%)</em> -- so he sold 
, which is 17%
In third hour he sold 34, so 17% is 34. To find total he initially had, we need to find (100%). We can setup the ratio (letting x equal his initial amount):
Initially the farm stand owner had 200 kg of apples.
Answer:
21 Feet Long
Step-by-step explanation:
You just reverse how you find a percentage.
1) 40 / 100 = .40
2) .40 * 15 = 6
3) 6 + 15 = 21
I did it this way because I need to find what 40% is to 15. But the trailer isn't 40% of the truck, it's 40% longer than the truck. So, we must add those 2 numbers together getting 21 Ft.
