Answer:
y = -(2/3)m - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
where, m is the slope and b is the y - intercept
here we are given that the y - intercept is -2, hence the equation becomes:
y = mx + (-2)
or
y = mx -2
we are also given that the x-intercept is -3, which means that when y = 0, x = -3 (simply substitute this into our new equation to solve for m)
0 = m(-3) -2
0 = -3m - 2 (add 3m to both sides)
3m = -2 (divide both sides by 3)
m = -(2/3)
hence our equation is now
y = -(2/3)m - 2
If the next number is 125% of the previous number, that means that the previous number is increasing by 25% each time.
The multiplier for increasing by 25% is:
(100 + 25) ÷ 100 = 1.25
So on day one, there are 64 responses. That means on day two, there will be:
---> 64 x 1.25 = 80 responses
On day 3, there will be:
---> 80 x 1.25 = 100 responses
Finally, on <u>day 4</u>, there will be:
---> 100 x 1.25 = 125 responses
A quicker way of getting this would be to do:
64 x 1.25³ since you are multiplying by 1.25 3 times

Answer:
125 responses
The answer is : x= -y/3+2
(1/4)^-2 - (5^0 x 2) x 1^-1 =
(4/1)^2 - (1 x 2) x 1 = 16-2 = 14
If you raise something to the power of -2, swap numerator and denominator and remove the minus.
So (1/4)^-2 = 4^2 = 16
Also 1^-1 is just 1, not -1.
