We have the equation of the line as follows:
y = 0.5x + 79
We want to calculate the melting point (the y value) of DNA with 50% gc content (the x value).
The gc content represents the value of x in the equation, so to calculate the melting point (y), we will simply substitute the x with 50 in the equation of the line as follows:
melting point = 0.5(50) + 79 = 25 + 79 = 104 degrees
M equals 56 and b equals 30
(-1,3)(0,0)
slope(m) = (0 - 3) / (0 - (-1) = -3/1 = - 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
y int (b) = 0
ur equation is : y = -3x
function notation is : f(x) = -3x <==
<2 + <5 = 180 this is a straight line
<2 + 150= 180
subtract 150 from each side
<2 = 30
<2 + <3 + <4 = 180 a triangle is 180 degrees
30 + <3 + 70 = 180
100 + <3 = 180
<3 = 80
The answer is C- Midsegment
