Answer:

Every week, the radioactivity decreases by a factor of 5

After 1 week, it goes from 5,000 to 1,000

2 weeks 1,000 / 5 =200

3 weeks 200 / 5 = 40

4 weeks 40 / 5 = 8

5 weeks 8 / 5 = 1.6

6 weeks 1.6 / 5 = 0.064

7 weeks 0.064 / 5 = 0.0128

8 weeks .0128 / 5 = 0.00256

9 weeks 0.00256 / 5 = 0.000512

10 weeks 0.000512 / 5 = 0.0001024

Solve each system by elimination 5x+y=9 10x-7y=-18 -4x+9y=9 x-3y=-6

tiny-mole [99]

5x + y = 9....multiply by 7
10x - 7y = -18
----------------
35x + 7y = 63 (result of multiplying by 7)
10x - 7y = -18
----------------add
45x = 45
x = 45/45
x = 1

5x + y = 9
5(1) + y = 9
5 + y = 9
y = 9 - 5
y = 4

solution is : (1,4)
=========================
-4x + 9y = 9
x - 3y = -6 ....multiply by 4
----------------
-4x + 9y = 9
4x - 12y = -24 (result of multiplying by 4)
---------------add
- 3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5

x - 3y = -6
x - 3(5) = -6
x - 15 = -6
x = -6 + 15
x = 9

solution is : (9,5)

What is the slop intercept form of a line that passes threw (4,-4) and (8, -10)

BigorU [14]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes, so we can find the slope:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 4, -4)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 8, -10)\\m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-10 - (- 4)} {8-4} = \frac {-10+ 4} {4} = \frac {-6} {4} = - \frac {3} {2}$
