Y=mx+b first we will find m or the slope.

m=(9.2-7.2)/(6-1)=2/5=0.4 now we have:

y=0.4x+b, using either point we can now solve for b, the "y-intercept", which in this case is the weight at birth :) I'll use point (1, 7.2) so our equation is:

7.2=0.4+b, b=6.8

y=0.4x+6.8

So the weight at birth was 6.8 lb

In class, Julie was asked to create a scenario for the linear function shown. She came up with the following: .Joe planned a hik

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1. Julie’s scenario doesn't match the linear function graphed, because the graphed function is f(x)=-3x+12 and must be f(x)=-5x+12

2. She has counted the slope of the line incorrect.

3. She can write f(x)=-5x+12 and draw the line with the x-intercept will be at (2.4,0) and y-intercpt ar (0,12).

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe parked 12 miles away from the cabin and after one hour, he was still 7 miles from the cabin, then he had walked 12 - 7 = 5 miles per hour.

The initial positon of Joe is at point (0,12) (after 0 hours passed, Joe was 12 miles from the cabin). The line must pas through the point (1,7) ( after one hour, he was still 7 miles from the cabin ).

Find the slope:

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{7-12}{1-0}=-5$

So, the slope of the linear function should be -5 (not -3).

Then the equation of the function is

$f(x)=-5x+12$

1. Julie’s scenario doesn't match the linear function graphed, because the graphed function is f(x)=-3x+12 and must be f(x)=-5x+12

2. She has counted the slope of the line incorrect.

3. She can write f(x)=-5x+12 and draw the line with the x-intercept will be at (2.4,0) and y-intercpt ar (0,12).
