Ainat [17]2 years ago

Answer:

We conclude that the equation of the line in the form y = mx + b will be:  y=\frac{1}{2}x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, taking two points

  • (0, 0)
  • (10, 5)

Important Tip:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m represents the slope
  • b represents the y-intercept

1 of 3 steps:

Determine the slope

We need to find the slope of the line containing the points (0, 0) and (10, 5)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

where m is the slope between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

In our case,

  • (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0)  
  • (x₂, y₂) = (10, 5)

substituting (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂) = (10, 5) in the slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{5-0}{10-0}

Refine

m=\frac{1}{2}

Thus, the slope of the line containing the points (0, 0) and (10, 5) is: m=\frac{1}{2}

2 of 3 steps:

Determine the y-intercept

We can determine the y-intercept by determining the value of y at x = 0.

From the graph, it is clear that at x = 0 the value of y = 0.

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is: b = 0

3 of 3 steps:

Substitute the values in the slope-intercept form

Substitute the values m=\frac{1}{2} and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form

y = mx+b

y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x+0

y=\frac{1}{2}x

Conclusion:

Therefore, we conclude that the equation of the line in the form y = mx + b will be:  y=\frac{1}{2}x

The sum of 3 consecutive even integers is 78. What is the largest of the integers?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?

In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.

Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n.   If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.

No stress!  Just logic! Keep the faith!

Write an equation for each line.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of blue line:

blue line is parallel to y-axis

⇒ x = 5

Equation of green line:

Green line is parallel to x-axis.

y = 2

Equation of red line:

At y-intercept x = 0. Point on red line is (0,5)

So, y-intercept = 5

y = mx + b Here,  m is slope any b is y-intercept.

y = mx + 5

Now, choose any other point in red line. ((1,7)

Substitute this value in the above equation and we can find m

7 = m*1 + 5

7 - 5 = m

m = 2

y = 2x + 5

Equation of black line:

Black line and red line are parallel and so, they have same slope.

y = 2x + b

y-intercept (0,-6) ; b = -6

y = 2x - 6

Question 1
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Mortality rate is 0.5 per 1000 habitant

the number of deaths have increased (from 210 to 250)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

Mortality rate is the number of deaths in a specific population,usually expressed in units of deaths per 1,000 individuals per year

Mortality\ rate\ (S)= \frac{(D)}{(P)} *10^{n} \\\\\\\\

where

S=Mortality rate

D=deaths

P= population

n= is a conversion form ,such as multiplying by  10^{3}=1000, to  get mortality rate per 1,000 individuals( we will use n=3)

step 1

asign

S=unknown

D=250

P=500000

n=3, (for each  1000 people)

step 2

Replace

S=\frac{250}{500000}*1000\\S=\ 0.5\ per\ 1000

Mortality rate is 0.5 per 1000 habitant

step 3

what if S=0.42

S=0.42(assuming it is 0.42 per 1000,n=3)

D=unknown

P=500000

(S)= \frac{(D)}{(P)} *10^{n}\\\\isolatin D\\\\S*P=D*10^{n}\\ D=\frac{S*P}{10^{n} } \\\\and\ replacing\\\\D=\frac{(0.42)*(500000)}{10^{3} }\\\\ Deaths=210\\

the number of deaths have increased (from 210 to 250)

Have a great day
