Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

For this case we have the following equation:
 7x - 10y = 3

 From here, we must substitute ordered pairs of the form:
 (x, y)
 If the ordered pair satisfies the equation, then it belongs to the line.
 We have then:

 For (8, 5):
 
We substitute the following values:
 x = 8

y = 5

7 (8) - 10 (5) = 3

56 - 50 = 3

6 = 3
 We observe that the equation is not satisfied and therefore, this point does not belong to the line.
 Since one of the points does not belong to the line, then the equation is not a good model.

 Answer:
 
It is not a good model. One of the points does not belong to the line.

no.....because when u sub in ur points (8,5) does not work and (-12,-9) does not work. He should have used this : 7x - 10y = 6

Sample Response: If the model is good, then both points will check in the equation. Substituting 8 for x and 5 for y in the equation results in 56 – 50 = 3, which is not true. Therefore, the model is not good. Using (–12, –9) as a check results in –84 + 90 = 3. The constant value in the equation should be 6, not 3. In slope-intercept form, the y-intercept should be –3/5.

What is the measure of Angle J K L? Triangle J K L . The exterior angle to angle K has a measure of 83 degrees. 83 degrees 97 de
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The measure of angle JKL is 97 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A triangle JKL .

Measure of exterior angle K = 83 degrees

We have to find the measure of \angle JKL .

In (\triangle\ JKL) we see that the exterior angle is in linear pair with \angle JKL .

Note:

Linear pair angles sum is 180 degree.

Let \angle JKL be 'x' degrees .

So,

⇒ x+83=180

⇒ <em>Subtracting 83 from both sides.</em>

⇒ x+83-83=180-83

⇒ x=180-83

⇒ x=97 degrees

The measure of angle JKL in the triangle is of 97 degrees.

Answer:

$(8967/n + 8.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4nx + 0.6n(x+21) = 8967

nx + 12.6n = 8967

x = 8967/n - 12.6

x+21 = 8967/n + 8.4

Where n is the no. of balls

Example: if total balls were 300

n = 300

More expensive one would cost:

8967/300 + 8.4 = $38.29
