Answer:

  • y = 6x + 90
  • 210 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is a linear relationship:</u>

  • y = mx + b

<u>We have:</u>

  • m = 6 and a point (8, 138)

<u>Work out the y-intercept by using the above information:</u>

  • 138 = 6*8 + b
  • b = 138 - 48
  • b = 90

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • y = 6x + 90

<u>Find the value of y when x = 20:</u>

  • y = 6*20 + 90 = 120 + 90 = 210 kg

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The weight after 20 months is 210 kilos.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • 1 month = 6 kilos
  • => 8 months = 6 x 8 = 48 kilos
  • => x + 48 = 138
  • => x = 90

<u>This means that the starting point is 90 kilos.</u>

  • => 1 month = 6 kilos
  • => 20 months = 6 x 20 kilos
  • => 20 months = 120 kilos
  • => 90 + 120 = weight in 20 months
  • => <u>210 kilos = weight in 20 months</u>

Hence,<u> the weight after 20 months is 210 kilos.</u>

Hoped this helped.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -1/2 and passes through the point (6,-6)
Studentka2010 [4]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/2
(6,-6)....x = 6 and y = -6
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
-6 = -1/2(6) + b
-6 = - 3 + b
-6 + 3 = b
-3 = b

so ur equation is : y = -1/2x - 3 <==

Alegebra liner equations.
luda_lava [24]
1. The answer would be (D). This is because you will plug is the (x) of the ordered pair into the equation(y=-2x), so first off would be (y=-2(-2)). since your multiplying a negative time a negative, you will get your (y) which is 4. Now you do this with the rest. -2(1)=-2 and -2(3)=-6.
2. This would be (A). This answer is simple. First you will take one of the equations (y=-x-1) and plug x into it's place so, y=-3-1, getting your answer(y) as being -4. Now you do the same with the other pair. y=-5-1, getting -6, showing (A) as your answer.
3.The answer will be (A)y is 2 times x. this is because you wou would make out the equation from the answer (y=2x). Now knowing your equation, all thats left is plugging in your (x) factors. so y=2(1), getting your (y) value of 2 and you would do this with the rest of your x factors. 
4. y=5+x
    y=5+(2)= 7
    y=5+(3)= 8
    y=5+(4)= 9
5. (B)y is 3 times x
    y=3(x)
    y=3(3)=9
    y=3(4)=12
    y=3(5)=15
6. (C)y is 6 less than x
    y=6-(x)
    y=6-(8)=2
    y=6-(9)=3
    y=6-(10)=4
