Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 11

.25x + .05y = 1.15

25x + 5y = 115

-25x - 25y = -275

-20y = -160

y = 8 nickels

x + 8= 11

x = 3 quarters

3 quarters and 8 nickels

When water is released from the Kinzua Dam it is released gradually. The water level in Kinzua reservoir changes at an average r

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Option D

- 1916 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To easily solve this problem, we apply a rule of three

-916 inch ---------------------------------- 3 hours

x inch ---------------------------------- 8 hour

x = 916 inc * (8 hours / 3 hours)

x = 2442.66 inch

The nearest number for this value is option D

(Lets remember we are talking about average values)

Equation of the line contains the points (-3,2) and (5,-5)

makkiz [27]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following points through which the line passes:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5, -5)$

So the slope is:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-5-2} {5 - (- 3)} = \frac {-7} {5 + 3} = - \frac {7} {8}$

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

$y = - \frac {7} {8} x + b$

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

$2 = - \frac {7} {8} (- 3) + b\\2 = \frac {21} {8} + b\\b = 2- \frac {21} {8}\\b = \frac {16-21} {8}\\b = - \frac {5} {8}$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}$

Answer:

$y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}$
