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.

Of the 400 eighth-graders at pascal middle school, 117 take algebra, 109 take advanced computer, and 114 take industrial technol

Hatshy [7]

If 164 of the 400 eighth-graders take none of these courses, then 400-164=236 students take some courses.

Let x students take all three courses, then:

1. 70-x take only both algebra and advanced computer,

2. 34-x take only both algebra and industrial technology,

3. 29-x take only both advanced computer and industrial technology.

Now let's count how many student take only one course:

1. 117-(x+34-x+70-x)=13+x take algebra,

2. 109-(x+29-x+70-x)=10+x take advanced computer,

3. 114-(x+29-x+34-x)=51+x take industrial technology.

Now count all students that take some courses:

51+x+10+x+13+x+29-x+34-x+70-x+x=236,

x=236-51-10-13-29-34-70,

x=29.

Answer: all three courses take 29 students.

A gallon of Moo Milk costs \$5.12$5.12dollar sign, 5, point, 12. What is the price, in dollars, of an 888 ounce glass of Moo Mil

Sladkaya [172]

The correct statement is:
A gallon of Moo Milk costs $5.12 What is the price, in dollars, of an 8 ounce glass of Moo Milk? There are 128 ounces in 1 gallon.

Solution:
Cost of 1 gallon of Moo Milk = $ 5.12

1 gallon = 128 ounces, so we can write:

Cost of 128 ounces of Moo Milk = $ 5.12

Cost of 1 ounce of Moo Milk = $ 5.12/128 = $ 0.04

Cost of 8 ounces of Moo Milk = $ 0.04 x 8 = $ 0.32

Thus, 8 ounces of Moo Milk will cost $ 0.32
