Answer:

a)  y = 1/2x + 5/2

    y = 2/5x + 29/5

b)  hair will be 19 inches for both at 33 months

Step-by-step explanation:

a) rate of growth of friend's hair:  (3, 4) (8, 6.5)  

(6.5 - 4) ÷ (8 - 3) = 2.5/5 or 1/2

find the y-intercept of equation for growth of friend's hair:

y = mx + b

4 = 1/2(3) + b

4 = 3/2 + b

8/2 - 3/2 = b

5/2 = b

equation for growth of friend's hair:

y = 1/2x + 5/2

rate of growth of cousin's hair:  (3, 7) (8, 9)  

(9 - 7) ÷ (8 - 3) = 2/5

find the y-intercept of equation for growth of cousin's hair:

y = mx + b

9 = 2/5(8) + b

9 = 16/5 + b

45/5 - 16/5 = b

29/5 = b

equation for growth of cousin's hair:

y = 2/5x + 29/5

b) y = 1/2x + 5/2

   y = 2/5x + 29/5

1/2x + 5/2 = 2/5x + 29/5

5/10x + 25/10 = 4/10x + 58/10

1/10x = 33/10

10x = 3300

x = 33

Pls help I don't understand:
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Part a) T(d)=2d+30

Part b) T(6)=42\ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write an equation for T (d)

Let

d ----> the number of days

T ---> the time in minutes of the treadmill

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

T=md+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

The slope or unit  rate is

m=2\ \frac{minutes}{day}

The y-intercept or initial value is

b=30\ minutes

substitute

T(d)=2d+30

Part b) Find T (6), the minutes he will spend on the treadmill on day 6

For d=6

substitute in the equation and solve for T

T(6)=2(6)+30

T(6)=42\ minutes
