Answer:

  y = 4/5x +13/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by the formula ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (5 -1)/(3 -(-2)) = 4/5

The y-intercept is given by the formula ...

  b = y -mx . . . . for any point (x, y)

  b = 1 -(4/5)(-2) = 1 +8/5 = 13/5 . . . . using the first point

So, the equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = 4/5x +13/5

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you have a bunch of these to do, you may want to make a spreadsheet with the formulas built in. Then you can type in the two points and have it spit out the m and b for your equation. Even if you don't use it to <em>do</em> the work, you can use it to <em>check</em> the work.

Select all number combinations that COULD make a triangle
tester [92]

Answer:

2 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if a combination is a triangle all you have to do is see if the combinations add up to 180

(2)(9)(10)=180 therefore it is a triangle.

All the other angles do not add up to 180 so they can't be triangles!!

(4)(10)(3) =120

(5)(6)(11) =330

(4)(5)(7) =140

8.4 gallons of gas for $23.94. Which equation can be used to determine the price of each gallon of gas?
mojhsa [17]
Here is the equation: (gas=g)

8.5g= 23.94

All you need to do is the inverse of multiplication on the other side. (division)

23.94/8.5= 2.81647.....

g= 2.82 (rounded to the hundredths place)

I hope this helps!

Jim decides to start a small nonprofit business of renting out motor scooters to help out his area residents. He puts in his own
Otrada [13]
First, find the expected number of scooters rented per month:

As the data is symmetrical, E(X) (the expected value) is the middle value. So, on average, 2.5 scooters should be taken per month.

His total costs were 5 * 3000 = $15,000

So, to break even, he needs to make $15,000.

He will be selling for 5 years, or 60 months.

As a result, he needs to make 15000/60 = $250/month

As he is selling 2.5 scooters on average, he needs to rent each for:

$250/2.5 = <u>$100/month</u>
