For a few months, Dexter recorded the amounts, in fluid ounces, of laundry detergent remaining y after he and his family washed

x loads of laundry. The equation of the line of best fit for his data is shown below. y = -1.6x + 50 Which statement correctly describes the slope of Dexter’s equation of the line of best fit in the context of the situation? A. The bottle Dexter’s family buys holds about 50 fluid ounces of detergent. B. For each load of laundry, Dexter’s family used about 1.6 fluid ounces of detergent. C. With 50 fluid ounces of detergent, Dexter’s family can wash about 1.6 loads of laundry. D. With 1.6 bottles of laundry detergent, Dexter’s family can wash about 50 loads of laundry.

Definitely it's B:  The amt of detergent left after x loads have been washed is y = (-$1.60/load)x + 50.

Graph the line y = kx +1 if it is known that the point M belongs to it: M(1,3)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

M(x,y) = (1,3) belongs to the line y = 2\cdot x +1. Please see attachment below to know the graph of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we know that a line is represented by this formula:

y=k\cdot x + b

Where:

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

k - Slope, dimensionless.

b - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that b = 1, x = 1 and y = 3, then we clear slope and solve the resulting expression:

k = \frac{y-b}{x}

k = \frac{3-1}{1}

k = 2

Then, we conclude that point M(x,y) = (1,3) belongs to the line y = 2\cdot x +1, whose graph is presented below.

I set a goal to drink 64 ounces of water day.If i drink 10 1/3 ounces in the morning,15 1/2 ounces at noon,and 20 5/6 at dinner

First find how much you've had. Make the fractions with similar denominaters: 1/3(2)=2/6, 1/2(3)=3/6, 5/6(1)=5/6. Now add the fractions: 2/6+3/6+5/6=10/6 or 1 4/6 or 1 2/3. Then add the whole numbers: 10+15+20+1=46. So you've had 46 2/3 oz now subtract that from how much you need: 64-46 2/3= 63 3/3-46 2/3=17 1/3. You still need 17 1/3 water :)

This table represents a quadratic function. x y 0 -3 1 -3.75 2 -4 3 -3.75 4 -3 5 -1.75 What is the value of a in the function’s
serg [7]

Answer:

a = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Our strategy to solve this problem will be to use the information given in the table to obtain  first the value of c in the quadratic equation which has the form ax^2 + bx + c and then form a system of 2 linear equations  and solve for the coefficients a and b as follow:

from x=0 and y=-3   a*0 + b* 0 + c = - 3

c = -3

from x=1 and  y= -3.75

a*(1) + *(1) + (-3) = -3.75

a + b = -3.75 + 3 = -0.75

from x= 2 and y = -4

a* (2)^2 + b*(2) + (-3) = -4

4a + 2b = -4 +1

4a + 2b = -1

Now we can solve the system f equations by elimination:

a + b = -0.75

4a + 2b = -1

multiply first equation by -2 and add to the second and  get

-2a - 2b = +1.50

4a + 2b = -1

2a = 0.50 and substituting into any of the equations get b =  -1

so the quadratic equation has a= 0.25 b= -1  c= -3

we can even  plug the any of the other values for  x given in the table and check the answer.
