B. y = -3y + 2

C. y = 3y - 2

D. y = -3y - 2
Which equation represents the line shown in the graph below? - 1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The equation used to for slope intercept form is commonly used. 

y = mx + b

Let us find the y-intercept first.

The place where the line crosses the y axis is 2.

y = mx + 2

Now, find the slope.

Find two points on the line, then solve.

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

Alright, I found two points on the line:-  (-2,8) and (2, -4)

m= (-4 - 8)/(2--2)

m = -12/4
m = -3

The slope is -3. The y-intercept is 2

Lets put them into the equation

y = -3x + 2

Final answer:  
B.    y = -3x + 2
Answer 2
Answer:

The equation that represents the line shown in the graph is:

B. y = -3x + 2

Further explanation

Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.

Let the linear equation : y = mx + c

If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :

m → gradient of the line

( 0 , c ) → y - intercept

Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :

\large {\boxed {m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)}}

If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :

\large {\boxed {y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )} }

Let us tackle the problem!

From the graph , the line goes through the point ( -1 , 5 ) and ( 0 , 2 ).

Let:

( x₁ , y₁ ) = ( 0 , 2 )

( x₂ . y₂ ) = ( -1 , 5 )

\texttt{ }

We can calculate the gradient of the graph by using this following formula:

m = ( y_2 - y_1 ) / ( x_2 - x_1 )

m = ( 5 - 2 ) / ( -1 - 0 )

m = 3 / (-1)

m = -3

\texttt{ }

Next , we can find the equation of the graph by using this following formula:

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )

y - 2 = -3 ( x - 0 )

y - 2 = -3x

y = -3x + 2

If cot A = 1.96000 and the acute angle A has to be determined, which one of the following expressionswill give the seconds of the angle?

Answers

cot A = 1.96
tan A = 1 / cot A
tan A = 1 / 1.96
tan A = 0.510204082
A = tan^(-1) 0.510204082
A= 27.03086026°
A= 27° 0.03086026°
A= 27° 0.03086026° x (60' / 1°)
A= 27° 1.8516156'
A= 27° 1' 0.8516156'
A= 27° 1' 0.8516156' x (60" / 1')
A= 27° 1' 0.8516156 x 60"

Then the expression for the seconds is 0.8516156 x 60"

In Option A, we have (-0.00120)/(-0.00141) x 60" = 0.851063830 x 60"
In Option B, we have -0.00141/0.00120 x 60" = -1.175 x 60"
In Option C, we have 0.00806/0.01159 x 60" = 0.695427092 x 60"
In Option D, we have (-0.01159)/(-0.00806) x 60" = 1.437965261 x 60"

Answer: Option A: (-0.00120)/(-0.00141) x 60"

At 1:00 pm the water level in a pool is 13 inches. At 1:30pm the water level is 18 inches. At 2:30pm the water level is 28 inches. What is the constant rate of change?

Answers

From the given question we come to know of certain number of facts and they are:
At 1:00 PM the water level of the pond was = 13 inches
At 1:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 18 inches
At 2:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 28 inches
From the above given facts we can easily find the amount of water changing every half an hour.
Amount of increase in water from 1:00PM to 1:30 PM = (18 - 13) inches
                                                                                       = 5 inches
Amount of increase in water level from 1:30PM to 2:30PM = (28 -18) inches
                                                                                             = 10 inches
From the above two deductions we can come to the conclusion the the constant rate of change in water level is 5 inches for every half an hour.
Per 1/2 an hour it is changes by 5 so the constant rate would be: 5 inches per 1/2 an hour

on average a baby uses 3 times the number of large diapers as small diapers and double the number of medium diapers as small diapers. If the average baby uses 2940 diapers size large and small, how many of each size would be used

Answers

Okay, if I read this correctly, then the number of large diapers is three times as many as small, and the medium diapers are two times as many as small. To set this equation up, assign x as the unknown value. Small = x Medium = 2x and Large = 3x . Add all of these together and equal them to 2940. From here, solve the equation (6x=2940) by dividing the entire thing by 6. You will have x = 490.
To find the number of each size, plug it back into the original.
Large: 3x = 3(490) = 1470
Medium: 2x = 2(490) = 980
Small: x = 490
Hopefully I read the problem correctly.
