Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...

(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18

(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18

Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b.  Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...

c(p)=0.18p  (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)

If g(x)=x^2+4x-5, find g(-4) PLEASE HELP
lana [24]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x^2+4x-5

g(-4)=(-4)^2+4(-4)-5

g(-4)=(-4)(-4)+(-16)-5

g(-4)=16-16-5

g(-4)=0-5

g(-4)=-5

A light bulb consumes 5850 watt-hours in 3 days and 6 hours. How many watt-hours does it consume per day?
inessss [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Three days + 6 hours  has 24*3 + 6 = 78 hours

You need only set up a proportion

5850 / 78 = x / 24       Multiply by 24

24 * 5850 / 68 = x

1800 watt hours / day

If Quadrilateral Q is a scaled copy of Quadrilateral P created with a scale factor of 3
Stolb23 [73]
I don't see a drawing of the quadrilaterals, so I don't know what the perimeter of quadrilateral P is. But whatever the perimeter of P is, Q will be 1/3 of that. Perimeter is a length, so even though it may pertain to a 2-dimensional object, it is still a 1-dimensional, linear measure. When two objects are similar (same shape, but scaled up or down by a scale factor), all corresponding linear measures have the same scale factor.

If you were asked about area or volume, that would be a different matter. In the case of area, you would square the scale factor, and in the case of volume, you would cube the scale factor.

Ansley is inviting her friends to a party at wonder world amusement park. She has to spend more than $500 to get a free park pas
Harman [31]
Ansley should invite a minimum of 15 guests.


$500 - $130 = $470 / 25 = 14.8 but she needs to be over the amount so
15 guests is the answer

I hope this helps :)

Find the slope of the line.
pickupchik [31]
There are several ways to do this.
I'll show you two methods.

1) Pick two points on the line and use the slope formula.
Look for two points that are easy to read. It is best if the points are on grid line intersections. For example, you can see points (-4, -1) and (0, -2) are easy to read.
Now we use the slope formula.

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Call one point (x1, y1), and call the other point (x2, y2).
Plug in the x1, x2, y1, y2 values in the formula and simplify the fraction.

Let's call point (-4, -1) point (x1, y1).
Then x1 = -4, and y1 = -1.
Let's call point (0, -2) point (x2, y2).
Then x2 = 0, and y2 = -2.

Plug in values into the formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = (-2 + 1)/(0 + 4) = -1/4

The slope is -1/4

2) Pick two points on the graph and use rise over run.
The slope is equal to the rise divided by the run.
Run is how much you go up or down.
Rise is how much you go right or left.

Pick two easy to read points.
We can use the same points we used above, (-4, -1) and (-0, -2).
Start at point (0, -2).
How far up or down do you need to go to get to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 1 unit up, or +1.
The rise is +1.
Now that we went up 1, how far do you go left or right top go to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 4 units to the left. Going left is negative, so the run is -4.
Slope = rise/run = +1/-4 = -1/4

As you can see we got the same slope using both methods.
