The rate at which people learn about a secret is directly proportional to the number of people who know the secret. If two peopl

Answer:

between 222 and 223 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This relation includes the point (0, 2).

A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).

This is not proportional, but it may be linear.

Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)

y = mx + b

20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b

20 = 18/2 × 2 + b

b = 2

y = 18x + 2

When 4000 people know, y = 4000.

y = 18x + 2

4000 = 18x + 2

3998 = 18x

x = 3998/18

x = 222.111...

Answer: between 222 and 223 days

What is the equation of the line that goes through the point (6,-1) and is parallel to the line represented by the equation belo
stepladder [879]

\huge{\boxed{y=-\frac{5}{6} x+4}}

Parallel lines share the same slope, so the slope of the parallel line in this case must be -\frac{5}{6}.

Point-slope form is y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where m is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is any known point on the line.

Plug in the values. y-(-1)=-\frac{5}{6} (x-6)

Simplify and distribute. y+1=-\frac{5}{6} x+5

Subtract 1 from both sides. \boxed{y=-\frac{5}{6} x+4}

The population of a town can be modeled by P= 22,000 + 125t, where P represents the population and the t represents the number o
nlexa [21]
Given that the population can be modeled by P=22000+125t, to get the number of years after which the population will be 26000, we proceed as follows:
P=26000
substituting this in the model we get:
26000=22000+125t
solving for t we get:
t=4000/125
t=32
therefore t=32 years
This means it will take 32 years for the population to be 32 years. Thus the year in the year 2032
