First you need to find the y-intercept, which is y = -1
Next is we need to find the slope of the line > you are going to have to do this by finding to clear point
The ones that I will be using are: (3, 1); (6, 3) (You could take any points)
Now using the slope formula we could find m.
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
(1 - 3) / (3 - 6) = m
-2 / -3 = m
m = 2/3
Using the linear function format: y = mx + b
Therefore the equation of the line is y = 2x/3 -1
Answer:
3) y = 50 * 2¹²ˣ
2) y = 80 * 2⁸ˣ
Step-by-step explanation:
1 day = 24 hours
Number of 2-hour periods in 1 day = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Number of 3-hour periods in 1 day = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Colby's experiment:
y = 50 * 2¹²ˣ
Jaquan's experiment:
y = 80 * 2⁸ˣ
