Answer:
B. y = 0.097x + 11.142
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the best equation to descibe the housing price, we have to calculate the slope of the line first.
The equation of the line can be written as
where m is the slope and q the y-intercept.
In order to have the most accurate estimate for the slope, we use the first point and the last point, that are:
(1900, 196)
and
(2200, 225)
The slope of the line is calculated as:
So, the slope of the line is 0.097.
Therefore, the correct option is the only one having a slope of 0.097, which is:
B. y = 0.097x + 11.142
Answer:
Sally has $10.25 or 1,025 pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$230
Step-by-step explanation:
1970-2200
=-230
The number is a negative, remove the negative to find out how much you <u>owe</u>
Sure you do.
What is the x-intercept ? It's the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
But y=0 at every point on the x-axis ! So the x-intercept is the point where
5x + 3(0) = k
5x = k
<u>x = 0.2 k</u>
Similarly ... What is the y-intercept ? It's the point where the graph crosses the
y-axis. But x=0 at every point on the y-axis ! So the y-intercept is the point where
5(0) + 3y = k
3y = k
<u>y = k/3</u>
The sum of the x- and y-intercepts is 32.5 .
0.2k + k/3 = 32.5
Multiply each side by 5 :
k + 5k/3 = 162.5
Multiply each side by 3 :
3k + 5k = 487.5
8k = 487.5
Divide each side by 8 :
<u>k = 60.9375 </u>
The x-intercept is (0.2k, 0) = the point (12.1875, 0) .
The y-intercept is (0, k/3) = the point (0, 20.3125) .
Those are the two points. Now it wants you to find the distance between them.
Do you remember how to find the distance between 2 points ?
Find the (difference of their x-values) and square it.
Find the (difference of their y-values) and square it.
Add the two squares together.
Take the square root of the sum.
That's the distance between the points.
(12.1875)² + (20.3125)² = the square of the distance.
If you don't get 23.688 for the distance, then check your arithmetic.
So, we have the percentage she gets which is, 90% and the number of questions she answers correctly, which is 27
To find the number of questions in the exam, make an equation
(90% =
= 0.9)
=
cross multiply and equate them
90x = 27 x 100
90x = 2700
divide by 90 on either sides to isolate x in order to find the answer
90 and 90 cancels out
x = 30So your final answer will be,
there were 30 questions in the exam paper.
