This was super close to getting it right.

The slope formula is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) with m being the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) being points.

The points you are working with are (0,4) and (5, 1). When I calculate the slope, it doesn’t matter which y coordinate I use first, as long as I use the x coordinate from the same point first in the denominator.

I’m now going to calculate the slope:
m = (1-4)/(5-0) = -3/5
(5,1) is a point, and because I used 1 first up top I used 5 first on the bottom.

The y-intercept is right, as when x = 0, y = 4.

The equation of the line is y = -3/5x + 4
You can double check this by creating your own graph.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 15x=420$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{420}{15}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=28$

Kriste respone is wrong

Solution:

Given that,

Kristen was asked to write each of the numbers in the expression 80,000 x 25 using exponents

Her response was (8 x 10 to the power of 3) x 5 to the power of 2

No, the response of Kristen is wrong

Let us first understand about exponents

An exponent refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself

Given expression is:

$80000 \times 25$

Here, 80000 has 4 zeros

Therefore, it can be raised as 10 power 4

$80000 = 8 \times 10^4$

Thus the expression becomes:

$80000 \times 25 = 8 \times 10^4 \times 25$

Also, 25 can be written as 5 power 2

$80000 \times 25 = 8 \times 10^4 \times 5^2$

Thus given expression is written as (8 x 10 to the power 4) x 5 power to the power 2

Thus Kristen respone is wrong, because he has raised 10 to power 3

The expression below represents the number of bacteria in a petri dish after t hours. Interpret the meaning of the expression.

konstantin123 [22]

The answer is B) The initial number of bacteria is 57, and the growth rate is 31% per hour.

The expression shown is an exponential expression. An exponential expression usually takes the form $ab^{x}$ , as this one does. A represents the initial value, in this case-the initial number of bacteria. B represents the growth rate. When it is an increasing growth rate, it will begin with 1, because it will have everything it had before, plus the percent increase, the decimal portion. In this case, a=57, and b=0.31.

Hope this makes sense!
