Answer:

m = -1/6.

b = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m =  (3 - 6) / (12 - -6)

=  -3 / 18

= -1/6.

y = -1/6 x + b

when x = 12 y = 3 so

3 = -1/6 * 12 + b

b =  3 + 2 = 5.

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find our intercept b from the equation of the straight line:

y - y₁ = m (x-x₁ )

point A(-6, 6)

x₁ = -6 and y₁ =6

m= -1/6 (as stated in the question)

Inputing this values in our equation, we have;

y - 6 = -1/6 ( x - -6)

y - 6 = -1/6(x+6)

y - 6 = -1/6x -1

y = -1/6x - 1 + 6

y= -1/6x + 5

comparing y= mx+b with the equation above; b=5

Strike441 [17]
Before we could add these numbers, 3/8 and 7/10 need a common denominator. Both 8 and 10 go into 40.

8 goes into 40 five times
3/8= (3*5)/40 = 15/40

10 goes into 40 four times
7/10= (7*4)/40= 28/40

ANSWER: A) 15/40 and 28/40

Hope this helps! :)

Over which interval are the exponential and linear function approximately the same? from 0.25 to 0.5 from 0.5 to 0.75 from 0.75
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Answer is 0.25 to 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the linear function be y=x

and exponential function be y=e^x

x          0.25   0.5    0.75    1.0     1.25    1.5

y          0.25   0.5    0.75    1.0     1.25    1.5

Diff             0.25  0.25  0.25   0.25  0.25

e^x      1.29   1.65    2.12     2.72  3.49    4.48

Diff            0.36  0.47     0.60   0.77    0.99

Hence 0.36 to be nearer to 0.25, than other intervals

So answer is 0.25 to 0.5
