3 + 2x = 17
3 + 2 times 7 miles (x) = 17
Hope this helps!!

The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = ñ5x − 2. What is the slope of the equation?

Nady [450]

5, because y = mx + b is the equation, with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

As a large truck fills its gas tank, the volume of gas, in gallons, can be modeled with the linear function v = 4.8m + 8.2, wher

jek_recluse [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the expression is

v = 4.8m + 8.2

where v is the volume of gas and

m is the number of minutes it has been filling.

Step two:

Required

<em>Asumming the volume is in Liters</em>

the interpretation of the terms in the expression for the volume

4.8 means that for every minute 4.8L of gas enters the gas tank

hence the rate of filling is 4.8L/min

8.2 means that there is 8.2L of gas already in the tank before the filling started.

express answer in exact form. Show all work for full credit. A segment of a circle has a 120 arc and a chord of 8 sq root 3. Fin

Anna35 [415]

Let $\alpha$ be the angle of an arc, $\alpha =120^{\circ},$ and r be the radius of the circle.

Then by the cosine rule,

$\text{chord}^2=r^2+r^2-2\cdot r\cdot r\cdot \cos \alpha,\\ \\(8\sqrt{3})^2=2r^2-2r^2\cdot \cos 120^{\circ}=2r^2-2r^2\cdot \left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=3r^2,\\ \\192=3r^2,\\ \\r^2=64,\\ \\r=8\ un.$

1. Find the area of the sector. Since $\alpha =120^{\circ},$ then

$A_{sector}=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{3}=\dfrac{64\pi}{3}\ un^2.$

2. Find the area of the triangle formed by two radii and chord:

$A_{triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot r\cdot r\cdot \sin \alpha=\dfrac{64}{2}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=16\sqrt{3}\ un^2.$

3. The area of the segment is

$A_{segment}=A_{sector}-A_{triangle}=\dfrac{64\pi}{3}-16\sqrt{3}=\dfrac{64\pi-48\sqrt{3}}{3}\ un^2.$

Answer: $\dfrac{64\pi-48\sqrt{3}}{3}\ un^2.$

The price of an item has been reduced by 15%. The original price was $87.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The new cost is $73.95

The discount was $13. 05

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the % into a decimal so it would be 0.15.

Then multiply it to the total, 87 x 0.15 = 13. 05

so the discount subtracted $13.05 off of the original price.

87 - 13. 05 = 73.95
