Answer:

y = -3/2x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope intercept form y = mx + b to substitute the slope = -3/2 and the point (-8, -3).

y = mx + b

-3 = -3/2(-8) + b

-3 = 12 + b

-15 = b

y = -3/2x - 15

Answer:

C) 118.8; 28.8

Step-by-step explanation:

for eating, it didn't make sense for it to be 288 degrees, so i eliminated the two off the list. For sleeping, it made more sense for it to be a 118.8 degree angle, so I narrowed it down to C.

2. Determine the sum of the first 400 ODD numbers.<br><br>

il63 [147K]

Odd numbers take the form $2n-1$ , where $n\ge1$ is an integer. When $n=400$ , the last odd number would be 799. So we're adding

$S=1+3+5+\cdots+795+797+799$

By reversing the order of terms, we have

$S=799+797+795+\cdots+5+3+1$

and we can pair up terms in both sums at the same position to write

$2S=(1+799)+(3+797)+(5+795)+\cdots(795+5)+(797+3)+(799+1)$

so that we are basically adding 400 copies of 800, and from there we can find the value of the sum right away:

$2S=400\cdot800\implies S=160,000$

###

We could also make use of the formulas,

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n1=n$

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2$

We have

$S=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{400}(2i-1)=2\sum_{i=1}^{400}i-\sum_{i=1}^{400}1=400(400+1)-400=400^2=160,000$
