Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data, we obtain the slope :

-1, 8 ; 3, - 4

Slope = Rise / run

Rise = y2 - y1 = (-4 - 8) = - 12

Run = x2 - x1 = (3 - (-1)) = 4

Slope, m = - 12 / 4 = - 3

Recall:

Equation of line :

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = - 3(x + 1)

y - 8 = - 3x - 3

y = - 3x - 3 + 8

y = - 3x + 5

Substituting y = - 3x + 5 into the equation 2x+4y= 0

2x + 4(-3x + 5) = 0

2x - 12x + 20 = 0

-10x = - 20

x = 2

Can someone tell me if im right? PLEASE DONT JUST SAY YES if you don’t know

Answer: You are incorrect, the slope is correct, but the actual y-intercept is 205 ft.

Then the equation is:

y = (-15 ft/min)*x + 205 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's solve this.

We know that water is drained from a reservoir, let's assume that we can model this situation with a linear relation:

y = a*x + b

Where x is time, y is the height of the water in the reservoir, a is the slope (in this case represents how much changes the height of the water in the reservoir in one unit of time) and b is the initial height of the water in the reservoir.

We know that for a line that passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this particular case we know that after 2 minutes the height of the water is 175 ft, then we have the point (2 min, 175 ft)

and after 5 minutes (so 7 minutes in total), the height of the water is 100ft, then: (7 ft, 100ft)

Then the slope of this:

a = (100 ft - 175 ft)/(7 min - 2 min) = (-75ft/5min) = - 15 ft/min

Then our line is something like:

y = (-15ft/min)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use the fact that when x = 2 min, y = 175 ft

So if we replace these two values in the equation we get:

175ft = (-15 ft/min)*2 min + b

175 ft = -30 ft + b

175 ft + 30 ft = b                  

(here is your problem, it seems like you subtracted instead of adding in this part)

205 ft = b

Then the equation is:

y = (-15 ft/min)*x + 205 ft

So you are incorrect (but only for a little bit), you computed wrong the y-intercept.

Oil prices are projected to increase by 50% by next March. A quart of oil currently costs $1.85. What is the projected cost of a
Zolol [24]

Answer:

$11.10 per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the cost of a gallon of oil currently is 1.85×4=$7.40

If the gallon price of oil goes up 50% then our answer is: 7.40×\frac{3}{2}=\frac{22.2}{2}=11.1

The price of oil in March will be $11.10 per gallon.
