The answer is C because the x axis is 2 and the y axis is -2 so the answer is (2,-2).
The answer is D, here’s why:
You know the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
mx being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
y=-4/7x + 9 is already in that form.
A is not the answer because the y is supposed to be by itself.
B is not the answer because again, the y is not by itself.
C is not the answer because the y is also not by itself.
In the slope-intercept form, the y must be by itself and the slope (mx) and the y-intercept must be on the other side.
Hope this helps.
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
10/24 x 100 = 41.66
