Answer:

Initial Value / Starting Point

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, or the initial value.

b is the intial value starting point

y is the dependent variable

m is the slope

x is the constant rate of change

derivative is the slope if the line is a curve

y ⇒ how far up or down is the line,

x ⇒ how far along is the line,

b ⇒ the value of y when x = 0 and

m ⇒ how steep the line is.

Taking into account the definition of percentage, the correct option is: 21 percent of her net pay is left for savings.

First of all, the percentage represents a given quantity that establishes relationships between two quantities, using the number 100 as a reference.

That is, the percentage indicates what part of a total represents a quantity.

To obtain the percentage, the division must be made between the portion of the total and the total amount that belongs to the set, whose result is multiplied by 100.

In this case, if Lillie's current monthly net pay and her monthly expenses are $ 387.10, and I assume that the rest of the money is saved by Lillie, then the amount of money saved is $ 490 - $ 387.10 = $ 102.9.

Then:

portion of the total= amount of money saved= $102.9
total amount= Lillie's current monthly net pay= $490

So, the percentage is calculated as:

percentage= (102.9÷490) ×100

percentage= 0.21×100

percentage= 21%

The correct option is: 21 percent of her net pay is left for savings.

Which is the measure of the reference angle for 227 degrees ?

Levart [38]

Answer:

C. 47°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between the terminal ray of 227° and the nearest x-axis (the negative x-axis) is ...

227° -180° = 47°

The reference angle is 47°.

_____

In mathematical terms the reference angle is the minimum of the angle modulo 180° and the supplement of that angle.

227° modulo 180° = 47°

180° -47° = 133° . . . . supplement of 47°

min(47°, 133°) = 47° . . . the reference angle

Does a machine that takes one quarter at a time into its input and produces two gumballs in its output act like a function?

ad-work [718]

Yes, because for a function the output should always be the same for the same input.

So when you input 1 quarter you always get 2 gumballs. ( the number of gumballs is always 2 and doesn't change).
