A european business has offered to donate to the Salvation Army, but they are requiring a detailed report on expenditures. Chase

and his brother are tasked with converting distances measured in miles to kilometers. To estimate the number of kilometers, Chase takes the number of miles, doubles it and then subtracts 20% of the result. Alex, Chase's brother, first divides the number of miles by 5 and then multiplies the result by 8.

Answer:

Both processes are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mile taken by Chase be 10miles .

He doubles it so it will be 20 and

20% of 20 will be 4

20-4 = 16km

Now Alex operations

(10/5 )*8 = 2*8= 16 km

In both cases the answer will be the same

1 mile = 1.60034 km

Now 10 miles = 16.00 34 km

which is the same as above.

Both the processes are correct.

HELP! I am confused since the -5 was added, so would it be the slope or would -7 be the slope?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

slope = 35; y-intercept = -45

Step-by-step explanation:

Function f(x) is written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

f(x) = -7x + 9

You compare it with

f(x) = mx + b, and you see that m, the slope, is -7, and b, the y-intercept is 9.

Now we deal with function h(x).

h(x) = -5(-7x + 9)

This is not written in the y = mx + b form, but we can put it in that form by distributing the -5.

h(x) = 35x - 45

Now, h(x) is written in the y = mx + b form. We see clearly that m = 35, so the slope of function h is 35. We also see that b, the y-intercept is -45.

Answer: slope = 35; y-intercept = -45
