Answer:

2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you are talking about a linear function. If it is, then the equation would be:

2x + 5.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For this example, I used the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In order to find the equation, we must find the slope and y-intercept.

<h3>Finding m</h3>

The slope can be found with the formula:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}, where the x and y variables represent different x and y values from the given points.

Substituting in values from the points, we get:

m = \frac{-1 + 9}{-3 + 7}\\\\m = \frac{8}{4}\\\\m = 2

<h3>Finding b</h3>

In order to find the y-intercept, we must substitute the slope back into the original equation:

y = 2x + b

After this, we must also substitute either of the two points. Both will give the correct answer, but (-3, -1) will be used for this example.

-1 = 2(-3) + b\\-1 = -6 + b\\5 = b

<h3>Finding the equation</h3>

After this, all that must be done is to substitute the values for b and m back into the original equation.

y = 2x + 5

To check our work, we can substitute in either of the given points. For demonstration purposes, (-7, -9) will be used.

(-9) = 2(-7) + 5\\-9 = -14 + 5\\-9 = -9

Answer: choice A. 40 liters

====================================

Explanation:

x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution

If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).

So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)

0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x

36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x

8 = 0.20x

0.20x = 8

x = 8/0.20

x = 40

So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters

Answer:

  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of "rise" to "run".

__

This line goes through grid intersections at (0, -7) and (2, -6), a rise of 1 unit for a run of 2 units to the right. The slope is ...

  slope = rise/run = 1/2

The new patio at Tonya's house is 5 yards long by 10 feet wide. She is going to cover the patio with square bricks that measure
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to take to determine the answer

  1. Because the length is in yards, it has to be converted to foot
  2. Find the area of the patio using the length and width measured in foot
  3. Determine the area of the square brick
  4. Multiply the cost of the brick by the area

1 yards = 3 foot

5 x 3 = 15 foot

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

15 x 10 = 150 ft^2

Cost = 150 x 4 = $600
