Find the value of the variable anyone please help me!!

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 12, negative 2) and (0, negative 4). A point is at (0, 6).

mariarad [96]

Point (-12 , 8) is on the line that passes through (0, 6) and is parallel to the given line ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have:

Same slopes
Different y-intercepts

The formula of the slope of a line which passes through points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∵ The given line passes through points (-12 , -2) and (0 , -4)

∴ $x_{1}$ = -12 , $x_{2}$ = 0

∴ $y_{1}$ = -2 , $y_{2}$ = -4

- Use the formula of the slope above to find the slope of the given line

∵ $m=\frac{-4-(-2)}{0-(-12)}=\frac{-4+2}{12}=\frac{-2}{12}=\frac{-1}{6}$

∴ The slope of the given line is $\frac{-1}{6}$

∵ The two lines are parallel

∴ Their slopes are equal

∴ The slope of the parallel line = $\frac{-1}{6}$

∵ The parallel line passes through point (0 , 6)

- The form of the linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope

and b is the y-intercept (y when x = 0)

∵ m = $\frac{-1}{6}$ and b = 6

∴ The equation of the parallel line is y = $\frac{-1}{6}$ x + 6

Let us check which point is on the line by substitute the x in the equation by the x-coordinate of each point to find y, if y is equal the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the line

Point (-12 , 8)

∵ x = -12 and y = 8

∵ y = $\frac{-1}{6}$ (-12) + 6

∴ y = 2 + 6 = 8

- The value of y is equal the y-coordinate of the point

∴ Point (-12 , 8) is on the line

Point (-12 , 8) is on the line that passes through (0, 6) and is parallel to the given line

Which function BEST expresses the linear relationship displayed by the scatter plot?

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line of best fit, which means we want to create a line that the data points will lie closest to.

One thing we can do is find the slope between the bottom-leftmost point and the top-rightmost point. This is because if we were to draw a line connecting these two, it will cut through the data quite well.

Those two points are (9, 15) and (16, 18), so the slope is change in y divided by the change in x:

(18 - 15) ÷ (16 - 9) = 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.4

Eliminate A and B.

Now we need to determine the y-intercept. This needs no calculations; simply look at the graph: there's no way a line cutting through the y-intercept point of (0, 18) will perfectly match the data points; instead it must be a y-intercept lower than 18. So, eliminate D.

The answer is C.

For part A the choices are 25 and 34 and for part b it is 2 and 10

Part A is 34

Part B is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question did provide some clues to answer this question. Every week, the area covered by the algae is multiplied by 2^1.

To find the area cover increase by the algae per day, the exponent should be divided by 7 since there are 7 days in a week. Hence, every day, the area covered by the algae multiplies by 2^(1/7). In other words, 1 day after the algae was spotted, the area is 12.5 * 2^(1/7), which answers part B.

10 days after the algae was spotted, the area covered by the algae is 12.5 * 2^[(1/7)*10] = 33.6475... , which rounds up to 34 and answers part A.
