A group of vendors in a city determines that the equation yˆ=11.984x+15.341 models the total number of shorts they will sell eac

h day, where x is the day’s high temperature in °F.
What does the slope of the equation represent in context of the situation?



A. The vendors will sell an additional pairs of shorts for every 12° increase in temperature.

B. The vendors will sell an additional 12 pairs of shorts for every 1° increase in temperature.

C. The vendors will sell an additional pairs of shorts for every 15° increase in temperature.

D. The vendors will sell an additional 15 pairs of shorts for every 1° increase in temperature.

Given the equation of a line of the form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
y is the dependent variable while x is the independent variable.

The value c represents the initial value of the situation represented by the line. i.e. the value of the dependent variable (y) when the independent variable (x) is 0.

The value m is the slope and represents the amount with hich the dependent variable increases for each additional increase in the value of the independent variable.

Thus, given the equation: <span>y=11.984x+15.341,
where: y represents the total number of shorts sold each day, and x represents the day’s high temperature in °F.

The slope is 11.984 or approximately 12 and it represents the increase in the number of shorts sold for each additional increase in temperature.

Tarush is a landscape architect. For his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing of a garden to be plac
Lunna [17]

Answer:

See the attached figure 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown at the attached figure 1.

given: The garden is a right triangle with base 10 m and height 15 m.

We need to draw the garden such that 1 unit on the grid represents 2 m.

So the scale factor is 1 unit = 2 m

base = 10 m = 10/2 = 5 units

height = 15 m = 15/2 = 7.5 units

So, the garden on the grid will be a right triangle with base 5 units  and height 7.5 units.

See the attached figure.

Mrs.Helio has 2 3/4 acres of farmland. she will plant corn on 1/4 of this land, potatoes on 1/12 of the land, wheat on 5/8 of th
Kazeer [188]
2 3/4 acres is the same as 11/4 acres
To find how much of the land is beans, find how much is already taken up, and the rest is beans.
Farmland-Corn-Potatoes-Wheat=Beans
1-(1/4)-(1/12)-(5/8)=1/24

Corn: (1/4)x(11/4)=11/16 acres
Potatoes: (1/12)x(11/4)=11/48 acres
Wheat: (5/8)x(11/4)=55/32 acres or 1 23/32 acres

Marley drives to work every day and passes two independently operated traffic lights. The probability that both lights are red i
madam [21]
Let event A be the first light being red.
Let event B be the second light being red.

P(A) = 0.48
P(A & B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.35

P(B) = 0.35 / P(A)
P(B) = 0.35 / 0.48
P(B) = 0.73

Since the lights are independent, P(B|A) = P(B) therefore d is the correct answer.

Raymond bought a car for $40,000. He took a 20,000 loan from a bank at an interest rate of 15% per year for a 5 - year period. W
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

$35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount that would be repaid = amount borrowed + interest earned on loan

interest earned on deposit can be determined by determining the simple interest

Simple interest = principal x time x interest rate

principal = the amount deposited = 20,000

Time = the duration of the deposit =5  

interest rate = the percentage on deposit that would be earned = 15

20,000 x 5 x 0.15 = $15,000

total = 20,000 + 15,000 = $35,000
