Given:

A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree and flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.

To find:

The length of the tree.

Solution:

A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree.

Vertical distance between bird and base = 16 feet

Then the bird flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.

Now, the vertical distance between bird and base = (16+20) feet

So, length of the oak tree is it the sum of 16 feet and 20 feet.

$\text{Length of the oak tree}=16+20$ feet

$\text{Length of the oak tree}=36$ feet

Therefore, the length of the oak tree is 36 feet.

Line q will be graphed on the same grid. The only solution to the system of linear equations formed by lines n and q occurs when

bija089 [108]

Answer:

$f(x) = k(x - \frac{3}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Line q will be graphed on the same grid. The only solution to the system of linear equations formed by lines n and q occurs when x = $\frac{3}{2}$ and y = 0.

Now, as x = $\frac{3}{2}$ is a solution of the equation, y = f(x) = 0, so, $(x - \frac{3}{2})$ will be a factor of the linear function y = f(x).

Therefore, we can write the possible equation for the line q will be

$f(x) = k(x - \frac{3}{2})$ . (Where k is any constant} (Answer)

21. Randy owns a computer store. In 1990, he sold 150 monitors. In 2000, he sold 900

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

$y=75x+150$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y$ represent the number of monitors sold.

Given:

$x$ is the number of years since 1990.

So, for the year 1990, $x=0$ .

For the year 2000, 10 years passed. So, $x=10$ .

Now, monitors sold in 1990 are 150. So, at $x=0,y=150$

Monitors sold in 2000 are 900. So, at $x=10,y=900$

Thus, the two points are $(0,150)$ and $(10,900)$ .

The slope of a line with points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given as:

Slope, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

For the points $(0,150)$ and $(10,900)$ , the slope is given as:

Slope, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\ m=\frac{900-150}{10-0}\\ m=75$

Now, the y-intercept is the point where $x=0$ . So, the point $(0,150)$ has $x$ value as 0.

So, the y-intercept is 150.

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given as:

$y=mx+b$

Where, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y intercept.

Here, $m=75$ and $b=150$ .

Therefore, the equation that represents the above data is given as:

$y=75x+150$

Find the functions y-intercept algebraically

grigory [225]

To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y. If the equation is written in the slope-intercept form, plug in the slope and the x and y coordinates for a point on the line to solve y. Hope this helped! :)
