Answer:

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-(-2*x+5)=0

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1 Solve y+2x-5 = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y+2x-5 = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 5/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 5.00000

y-intercept = 5/1 = 5.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 5/2 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 2.50000

x-intercept = 5/2 = 2.50000

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 5.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 1.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 1.000 - 5.000 = -4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

x-intercept = 5/2 = 2.50000

y-intercept = 5/1 = 5.00000

Answer:

$y=-x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope can be represented as rise over run (change y-values over change in x-values). Since the y-value is changing by -2 every time the x-value is changing by 2, the slope of the line must be $\frac{-2}{2}=-1$ .

In slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ , $m$ represents the slope of the line, $b$ represents the y-intercept, and $(x, y)$ represent the coordinates of any point the line passes through.

To find $b$ , substitute $m=-1$ and any point the line passes through.

Using (1, 0) from the table:

$0=-1(1)+b,\\0=-1+b,\\b=1$

Thus, the equation of this line is $\boxed{y=-x+1}$

Answer: Choice B

a_n = 10(1/2)^(n-2) is the nth term

average rate of change = -35/3

=======================================================

Explanation:

Each time x increases by 1, y is cut in half. For instance, going from (2,10) to (3,5) shows this.

If we want to go in reverse, decreasing x by 1 will double the y value. So (1,20) is another point and (0,40) is another. We'll be using (0,40) and (3,5) because we want the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 3. I'm using x in place of n here.

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through (0,40) and (3,5)

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

m = (5-40)/(3-0)

m = -35/3

The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you read it from left to right. The average rate of change from n = 0 to n = 3 is -35/3

The nth term of this geometric sequence is 20(1/2)^(n-1) since 20 is the first term (corresponds to n = 1) and 1/2 is the common ratio. Your teacher has done a bit of algebraic manipulation to change the n-1 into n-2. This means the 20 has to change to 10 to counterbalance.

In other words, 20(1/2)^(n-1) is equivalent to 10(1/2)^(n-2) when n starts at n = 1.

Answer:

every 10 mL of solution equals 5 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this equation is right but I think it's either 200÷40, 205÷50, or 205÷40 I hope this is kinda helpful.
