Answer:

The equation shows the temperature over time will be:

$y = 3x - 7$

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

$y=mx+b$

where m is the rate of change or slope and b is the y-intercept

Let 'y' be the temperature

Let 'x' be the time in the hour

Given that one very cold morning, it was -7°F.

Thus, the y-intercept = b = -7

Given that as the day went on, the temperature rose 3 degrees each hour.

Thus, the rate of change = slope = m = 3

Thus, substituting m = 3 and b = -7 in the equation

$y = mx+b$

$y = 3x + (-7)$

$y = 3x - 7$

Therefore, the equation shows the temperature over time will be:

$y = 3x - 7$

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Xavier rides his bike 5 1/4 miles or 82% of his goal for the day. What is his goal for the day?

Leno4ka [110]

Use ratio and proportion

5.25/x= 82/100
cross multiply
82 x= 525
x= 6.4 miles

Hope this helps

Please someone who to help me to solve this question.

First you have make the 2 and a half into 5/2. Then you have to find a common denominator of the two fractions, which would be 8. So the 7/8 you dont need to do anything to but the 5/2 you do... so multiply both the top and the bottom by 4 so you can get 8 on the bottom. that would be 20/8. now you can add them. so 7/8 + 20/8 = 27/8
