I believe it’s A because if you notice the rate of population grow was in the 20,000s for the US in the 1840s, while NC was hitting 600 free people at that time.
Answer:
800 flyersOn Earth day, a local community wants to distribute 800 flyers, 300 banners, and 250 badges to volunteers in packets containing the three items. What is the greatest number of packets that can be made using all these items if each type of item is equally distributed among the packets?
What exactly are you trying to figure out
I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25
What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes
14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:
14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.
Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.
Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).
Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?
