Sample Response: Both are correct. Using either form will result in the same equation. The slope-intercept form uses slope and a point to find the y-intercept. Point-slope form uses the slope and a point to solve for y to generate the equation.

Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:


y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation. 
The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation and Helena claims that point-slope form will find the equation. Who is correct? Explain your reason by describing both forms.

The speed of sound is approximately 340 m / s. How long will it take for the sound to travel from the batter to a spectator who
iris [78.8K]
The first answer is 3/34 sec and the second answer is 15/34 sec.

Set up a proportion for these problems.  For the first question,
340/1 = 30/x

Cross multiply:
340*x = 1*30
340x = 30

Divide both sides by 340:
340x/340=30/340
x = 30/340 = 3/34

For the second question,
340/1 = 150/x

Cross multiply:
340*x = 150*1
340x=150

Divide both sides by 340:
340x/340 = 150/340 
x = 150/340 = 15/34

which geometric series represents 0.4444... as a fraction? a) 1/4, 1/40, 1/400, 1/4,000 b) 1/40, 1/400, 1/4,000, 1/40,000 c) 4/1
xenn [34]

Answer: \frac{4}{10}+\frac{4}{100}+\frac{4}{1,000}+\frac{4}{10,000}


Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric series are:

a)\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{400}+\frac{1}{4,000}

on simplifying in decimals, we get

0.25+0.025+0.0025+0.00025=0.27775\neq0.4444

b) \frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{400}+\frac{1}{4,000}+\frac{1}{40,000}

on simplifying in decimals, we get

0.025+0.0025+0.00025+0.000025=0.027775\neq0.4444

c)\frac{4}{10}+\frac{4}{100}+\frac{4}{1,000}+\frac{4}{10,000}

on simplifying in decimals, we get

0.4+0.04+0.004+0.0004=0.4444

Thus, this geometric series represent 0.4444.

d)\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{1,000}+\frac{1}{10,000}

on simplifying in decimals, we get

0.1+0.01+0.001+0.0001=0.1111\ \neq0.4444

The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450450450 kilograms. The average weight of 333 llamas is 190190190 kilogr
notsponge [240]
First of all, lets consider that you made a litte mistake and you meant this problem.........

<span>"The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 kilograms more than the average weight of one okapi. On average, how much does an okapi weigh, and how much does a llama weigh?"

This is a system of two equations.

Let it be X the average weight of a LLAMA
And Y the average weight of an OKAPI

X + Y = 450 kg   1)
3X = 190 kg +Y   2)

So, with 1) we have that  Y = 450 - X
We subsitute in 2) and we have 

3X = 190 + (450 -X).............We solve for X ....==> 4X = 640kg ==> X = 160kg

..We replace X in 1 and get => Y = 450kg -X = 450kg -160kg = 290kg


</span>160kg....... average weight of a LLAMA
290kg........average weight of an OKAPI

In a standard game of pool, there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15. a) In how many ways can the 15 balls be ordered? (5 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>a) 1.308*10¹² ways</h2><h2>b) 455 way</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If  there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15 in a standard football game, the order of arrangement of the 15 balls can be done in 15! ways.

15! = 15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2

15! = 1.308*10¹² ways

b)  If 3 of the 15 balls are to be chosen if order does not matter, this can be done in 15C3 number of ways. Since we are selecting some balls out of the total number of balls, we will use the concept of combination.

Using the combination formula nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

15C3 = 15!/(15-3)!3!

15C3 = 15!/12!3!

15C3 = 15*14*13*12!/12!*6

15C3 = 15*14*13/6

15C3 = 455 ways

Without actually writing the formula, explain how to expand (x + 3)7 using the binomial theorem.
Lyrx [107]

To write the coefficients of the 8 terms, either start with a combination of 7 things taken 0 at a time and continue to 7 things taken 7 at a time or use the 7th row of Pascal’s triangle.

For the first term, write x to the 7th power and 3 to the 0 power. Then decrease the power on x and increase the power on y until you reach x to the 0 and y to the 7.

Simplify by evaluating the coefficients and powers 3
