Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of aline:
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
The formula of a slope:
From the graph we have the points:
(-2, -5)
y-intercept (0, 3) → <em>b = 3</em>
Calculate the slope:
Put the value of the slope and the y-intercept to the equation of a line:
======================================================
Explanation:
Count the number of times you divide by two and we have five occurrences of this. So there five rounds overall.
To get the total number of games played, we add up the quotients
16+8+4+2+1 = 31
----------------
Or as a shortcut we can simply subtract off 1 since 1+2+4+...+2^n = 2^(n+1)-1
We can write that rule as
which is equivalent to
