Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-3, 7) and (3, 3).

Answer:

y = -2/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3, 7) and (3, 3)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(3 - 7) / (3 -(-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (3 - 7) / (3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

= (-4) / (6)

= -4/6

= -2/3

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = -2/3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the second point (3, 3). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

3 = -2/3(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

3 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 to both sides to isolate b.

5 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -2/3x + 5

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-3, 7).

y = -2/3x + 5

7= -2/3(-3) + 5

7 = 2 + 5

7 = 7

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

TAKE ANY UNMARKED BOWL OR GLASS AND FILL IT EXACTLY 3/5 FULL WITH WATER.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Take a glass, and fill it completely with water.

Now, pour that water in a marked bowl and measure how much water is in the bowl, that amount of water will be 100% of the total water that the glass can have.

Now you need to pour 3/5 of the water back in the glass, it is easier for water until the water in the bowl is exactly 2/5 of the initial amount.

You can do this as follows.

2/5 = 0.4 or 40% in percentage form.

Then if the amount of water in the marked bowl is A, the amount of water that must remain in the marked bowl is A*0.4

Then drop the water in the glass until the water in the marked bowl is the quantity that you found previously.

In this way, you can be sure that the glass is 3/5 full of water.

HELPPP The number of members in the Triathlon Club was 36 in 2001 and has increased by 20% each year. Which exponential growth m
levacccp [35]

Answer:

C. y=36(1.2)t

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of members in the Club in t years after 2001 is given by an equation in the following format:

y = y(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which y(0) is the number of members in 2001 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

The number of members in the Triathlon Club was 36 in 2001 and has increased by 20% each year.

This means that y(0) = 36, r = 0.2

So

y = y(0)(1+r)^{t}

y = 36(1+0.2)^{t}

y = 36(1.2)^{t}

The correct answer is C.

Marco earns $36.50 per hour show that the relationship between the amount he earns and the number of hours he works is proportio
Korolek [52]

To establish this equation we first need to assign some variables.

Let us assign x as the number of hours he has worked

and assign y as the total amount of money that he has earned

Therefore the equation y=36.50x is the equation that correctly represents how much money he makes regardless of how many hours he works.  Just plug in how many hours you want for x and then solve the equation and you will get how much money he makes in x amount of hours.  This is also proportional because for every hour that he works he gets the same salary of 36.50.  It is proportional because no matter how many hours he works the salary will go up the same amount for each extra hour he works.  The proportion is 36.50 dollars per hour worked.
