Plug in 6.5 for x.
-8.5x-3.5x=-78
-8.5(6.5)-3.5(6.5)=-78
-55.25-22.75=-78
-78=-78
A hawk is sitting on the branch of a tree Question Image ft above the ground. It flies 28.3 ft higher in the air, drops down by 8.2 ft, and then a short time later flies down another Question Image ft onto the branch of another tree. Write an expression that represents the change in the bird’s height. Which of the two branches is higher above the ground?
Please help me asap!
Will mark as Brainliest for first correct answer.
With even just two points, you can find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.
Slope-intercept form: where is the slope and is the y-intercept
<u>1) Solve for the slope (</u><u>)</u>
The equation to solve for the slope is when the two points are and . Plug the coordinates of these points into the equation and solve for .
Then, plug into .
<u>1) Solve for the y-intercept (</u><u>)</u>
Then, take any of the given points and plug it into along with the slope. Isolate to get the y-intercept. Then, plug both m and b back into to get your final equation.
I hope this helps!
Answer: this is rounded out, and an estimate but...

It appears to be 14.03% I could be wrong, but this was calculated so maybe not.
Answer: A single turquoise guppy costs $3.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use "x" to represent the amount a single turquoise is sold and use "y" to represent that of the Glo fish.
Since Kellen bought 4 guppies and 3 glo fishes for $41.73:
4x + 3y = 41.73 --------eqn 1
Similarly, Danielle purchased 3 guppies and 5 Glo fish for $56.02:
Therefore 3x + 5y = $56.02 -----eqn2
The 2 equations are;
4x + 3y = 41.73 (eqn 1)
3x + 5y = 56.02 (eqn 2)
We then solve the simultaneous equations using substitution method:
From eqn 1,
4x + 3y = 41.73
4x = 41.73 - 3y
x = (41.73 - 3y)/4
Substitute x for (41.73 - 3y)/4 in eqn2.
3[(41.73 - 3y)/4 + 5y = 56.02
11y + 125.19 = 224.08
11y =98.89
y = 98.89/11
y = $8.99
So, 1 Glo fish costs $8.99
Then, substitute "y" for 8.99 in equation 1
4x + (3×8.99) = 41.73
4x + 26.97 = 41.73
4x = 41.73 - 26.97
4x = 14.76
x = 14.76/4
x = $3.69
Therefore 1 turquoise guppy costs $3.69
