In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

----------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below

Bill and Joe have 60 dollars between them. Bill has half as much as Joe. How much does Bill have?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Bill and Joe have 60 dollars between them. Bill has half as much as Joe.

so Bill = B and Joe = J

20 (B) + 40 (J) = 60

Bill has half the amount of Joe, and so 40/2  = 20

subtract 60 from 20 (the answer for Bill) and you get 40, (the answer for Joe)

hope this helps

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Angle 1 = 80 (by definition)

Angle 3 = 180 - 80 = 100

Angle 4 + Angle 2 = 90

Also, Angle 2 = 40 (by definition)

So Anglee 4 = 50
