There were 900 students enrolled in a high school in 2009 and 1,500 students enrolled in the same high school in 2012. The student enrollment of the high school, P, has increased at a constant rate each year, t, since 2009. A) Write the given enrollment numbers as a pair of points in the form (t, P).
B) Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points from part A and explain the information the slope gives about the situation.
C) Write an equation that relates the high school's student enrollment, P, to the number of years since 2009, t.
D) Predict the high school's enrollment in 2017.

Answers

Answer: A) $(0,900)\ and\ (3,1500)$

B) Slope=200, It means enrollment of 200 students increases each year.

C) $P=200t+900$

D) 2500 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The student enrollment of the high school, P, has increased at a constant rate each year, t, since 2009.

At 2009, t=0 and at 2012, t=3 [Since 2012-2009=3 years]

A) In points , the given enrollment numbers will be written as:-

$(0,900)\ and\ (3,1500)$

B) The slope of the line passing through $(0,900)\ and\ (3,1500)$ is given by:-

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(1500-900)/(3-0)=(600)/(3)=200$

It means enrollment of 200 students increases each year.

C) The linear equation with slope= 200 and and the initial number of students (900) is given by

$P=200t+900$

D) At 2017, t=8 [Since 2017-2009=8]

Then $P=200(8)+900=1600+900=2500$

The high school's enrollment in 2017 = 2500 students.

What is greater 2/8 or 3/16

Answers

2/8 is greater. In order to figure out the answer for this, I cross multiplied. So, first, you would do 2 times 16. And 8 times 3. 2 times 16 is 32 and 8 times 3 is 24. 32 is greater than 24, and the 34 comes from 2/8. Good luck!

2/8=4/16 because if you multiply 8x2, it equals 16, which would then make it 4/16 and 3/16 comparable, so then you just look at which numerator (top number) is bigger, so 2/8 would be greater.

at Mary's party 4/8 of the guest had chocolate ice cream and 3/8 of the guest had strawberry ice cream . what fraction of the ice cream was either chocolate or strawberry

Answers

7/8 because you add 4/8 and 3/8 together which is equal to 7/8.

7/8 I believe, as 4/8 had chocolate ice cream and 3/8 had strawberry and we don't know what the remaining 1/8 had, so just add who had strawberry and who had chocolate together and that will give you the probability.
