Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's assume that this is a linear relationship. Find the slope, if there is a unique slope. As we move from the point (-2, -2) to the point (2, 8), x increases by 4 and y increases by 10, so that the slope is m = rise / run, or

m = 10 / 4, or 2.5. Using the point (2, 8), determine the y-intercept:

8 = 2.5(2) + b, or 8 = 5 + b, so that b = 3.

Then y = 2.5x + 3. Now test whether another point, such as (6, 18), satisfies this equation:

18 = 2.5(6) + 3, or

18 = 15 + 3 This is true.

So we can conclude that this is a linear relationship, y = 2.5x + 3 (Answer A)

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

Lemur [1.5K]

This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.

Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3

A fabric manufacturing company has a fabric that is 36 inches wide. If the company needs 75 sq. yards, how many linear feet does

ICE Princess25 [194]

Since the fabric is 36 in. wide, every 36 linear inches (3 feet =1 yard) makes one square yard. The team needed 75 sq yds, thus 3 x 75 = linear feet

In how many ways can ann, bob, chuck, don and ed be seated in a row such that ann and bob are not seated next to each other?

balandron [24]

The 5 people can seat in a row in 5! ways
But we need to exclude the ways that ann and bob are seated next to each other which is = 4! * 2!

So, the number of ways can ann, bob, chuck, don and ed be seated in a row such that ann and bob are not seated next to each other = 5! - 4! * 2! = 72

=====================================================

Another solution:

If ann seated in one of the ends, the number of ways = 3*2

If ann didn't seat in one of the ends , the number of ways = 2*3

So, the total number of ways that can ann, bob be seated = 3*2 + 2*3 = 12

The remaining persons can seat with a number of ways = 3! = 6
So, the total ways that the five persons can seat = 12*6 = 72
