Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

A movie streaming website charges an initial fee of $50, plus $5 for each movie that is streamed. How many movies must be stream

alukav5142 [94]

The average cost of streaming N movies will be
.. average cost = (total cost)/(number of movies)
.. = (50 +5N)/N
.. = (50/N) +5

You want this value to be 7, so you have
.. 7 = (50/N) +5
.. 2 = 50/N
.. N = 50/2 = 25

25 movies must be streamed to get the average cost down to $7.

noname [10]

<h2>Pls give brainliest.</h2>

Answer:

I only know two right answers.

A: The center of dilation is point C.

C: It is an enlargement.

E: The scale factor is 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

These two answers are correct because When you look in the center you see a C.

You tell if it is a reduction because the pre image is small but the image is big.

If the shaded cross sections of the solids have the same area, which of the following corresponds to the value of a: the side le

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$4\sqrt{\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section of a sphere is a circle with area $\pi r^2$ , where radius is given as 4
The cross section of the cube is a square with area $a^2$ , where a is side length of square

The circle area = the square area. Thus we have:

$\pi r^2 = a^2 \\\pi(4)^2=a^2\\16\pi=a^2\\\sqrt{16\pi}=a\\ a=\sqrt{16} \sqrt{\pi} \\a=4\sqrt{\pi}$

The number w and 0.8 are additive inverses.

umka2103 [35]

Since, the number w and 0.8 are additive inverses.

A number 'a' is said to have an additive inverse '-a' if "a+ (-a)= 0".

Since, 'w' and '0.8' are additive inverses of each other such that $w + 0.8 = 0$

Therefore, the value of 'w' should be '-0.8' so that $-0.8 + 0.8 = 0$ .

So, the value of 'w' is =0.8

Now, Refer to the attached image which represents the position of 0.8 , w ( that is -0.8) and the sum of 0.8 and w.

Sum of 0.8 and w = 0.8 + w

= 0.8 +(-0.8)

= 0.

Liam worked 5 hours 30minutes on Monday and 4 hours 45 minutes on Wednesday.How many total hours did Liam work on Monday and Wed

dangina [55]

5 hours + 4 hours = 9 hours
30 minutes + 45 minutes =75 minutes
60 minutes in an hour, so 75 minutes =1 hour and 15 minutes, or 1.25 hours
9 hours + 1.25 hours =10.25 hours or 10 hours and 15 minutes.
