This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b
where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.
m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)
1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb
Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.
Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25
Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x
Now round to the nearest tenth:
y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer:
5:9
Step-by-step explanation:
It's just a way to set up ratios. Whichever number is said first gets put down first, then the number after gets put after.
So, 5:9
Or, you could write it as 5 footballs to 9 baseballs.
This is just my simple understanding of what you're asking since you asked what the ratio is.
Hope I helped!
<h2><u>
ABSOLUTE VALUE</u></h2>
The absolute value of a number is the distance from 0 to that number. The distance is positive, hence, the absolute value is always a positive number.

Replace the value of x:
The absolute value of a number is the numerical value of the number, without regard to its sign.

Answer:
A reflection across the y- axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Under a reflection in the y- axis
a point (x, y) → (-x, y)
A point in the second quadrant (- x, y)
Under reflection in the y- axis is (x, y) ← point in first quadrant
