to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, well, let's use the provided values hmmm

\begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{toppings}{x}&\stackrel{cost}{y}\\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 7.50\\ 8& 10 \end{array} \qquad\implies \qquad (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7.50})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{10}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{10}-\stackrel{y1}{7.50}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{8}-\underset{x_1}{3}}}\implies \cfrac{2.5}{5}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{25}{10}~~}{5}\implies \cfrac{25}{50}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{7.50}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3})\implies y-\cfrac{750}{100}=\cfrac{1}{2}(x-3) \\\\\\ y-\cfrac{15}{2}=\cfrac{1}{2}x-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-\cfrac{3}{2}+\cfrac{15}{2}\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-6

Alecsey [184]

Answer:201 students

Step-by-step explanation: Since there are seven kids riding in cars, you would subtract 7 from 1213 to get 1206 students. The six buses means you divide by 6 to get 201 students in each bus.

The drama club members at Millie's middle school are selling tickets to the school play. Millie wants to determine the average
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Every third member of the club in her physical educations class

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasoning behind this is because if Millie surveys her club members who are hosting the school play, she wouldn't be able to get an accurate average number of tickets sold because the club member have a bias in terms of purchasing the tickets as they run the club. Meanwhile the physical education class has a more random assessment because every third person in the class may or may not have an interest in the play the same way the club would.

A young boy has 40 total pets. He has two different types of pets. He has cats and penguins. The total number of the heads of hi
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C =  number of cats.

P = number of penguins.

We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:

C + P = 40

We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)

Then we have the equation:

40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P

Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:

(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P

40 = 4*C

Now with this, we can find the value of C.

40/4 = C = 10

Then he has 10 cats.

Now we can replace this in the equation:

P + C = 40

to find the value of P

P + 10 = 40

P = 40 - 10 = 30

P = 30

He has 30 penguins.
