We have the following:
The first thing is to find the slope of the line, like this:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]replacing:
[tex]m=\frac{2-0}{0-4}=\frac{2}{-4}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]now, the equation has the following form:

y = 2
x = 0

Of the 1200 respondents,400 parents wanted soccer offered625 parents wanted baseball/softball offered370 parents wanted tennis offered150 parents wanted soccer and tennis offered315 parents wanted soccer and baseball/softball offered230 parents wanted baseball/softball and tennis offered75 parents wanted all three sports offeredHow many parents didn’t want any of these sports offered?a) 155b) 75c) 0d) 425
There were 1200 respondents:
400 parents wanted soccer offered
370 parents wanted tennis offered
625 parents wanted baseball/softball offered
150 parents wanted soccer and tennis offered
315 parents wanted soccer and baseball/softball offered
230 parents wanted baseball/softball and tennis offered
75 parents wanted all three sports offered
Therefore:
We have to add all the options that were mixed with different sports:
150 + 315 + 230 = 695 - 75= 620 (We subtract 75 because it's already included in the other values as we can see in the diagram)
We have to add all the parents that chose only one sport:
400 + 370 + 625= 1395
We have to subtract 620 from 1395:
1395 - 620= 775 parents who chose any sport
Now:
1200 - 775 = 425 respondents who didn't want any.
Therefore, 425 parents didn't want any of the sports offered.
The answer is D) 425.
determine if the following equations represent a linear function if so write it in standard form Ax+By=C9x+5y=102y+4=6x
9x + 5y = 10
is a linear equation because all variables are raised to exponent 1.
This equation is already written in standard form (A = 9, B = 5, C = 10)
2y + 4 = 6x
is a linear equation because all variables are raised to exponent 1.
Subtracting 2y at both sides:
2y + 4 - 2y= 6x - 2y
4 = 6x - 2y
or
6x - 2y = 4
which is in standard form (A = 6, B = -2, C = 4)

In windy cold weather, the increased rate of heat loss makes the temperature feel colder than the actual temperature. To describe an equivalent temperature that more closely matches how it “feels,” weather reports often give a windchill index, WCI. The WCI is a function of both the temperature F(in degrees Fahrenheit) and the wind speed v (in miles per hour). For wind speeds v between 4 and 45 miles per hour, the WCI is given by the formula(FORMULA SHOWN IN PHOTO)A) What is the WCI for a temperature of 10 F in a wind of 20 miles per hour?B) A weather forecaster claims that a wind of 36 miles per hour has resulted in a WCI of -50 F. What is the actual temperature to the nearest degree?
Let's remember what the variables mean:
F= temperature (in Fahrenheit),
v= wind speed.
A) The formula "works" when the wind speed is between 4 and 45 miles per hour. The question asks for a wind speed of 20 miles per hour. Then, we can apply the formula. Here,
[tex]\begin{cases}F=10 \\ v=20\end{cases}[/tex]Then,

Yasmin went to the store and bought 3 and 1/2 pounds of ground beef for 11:20 how much do the ground beef cost per pound
Yasmin bought 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef, we can express the amount that she bought as a fraction like this:
[tex]3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3\times2+1}{2}=\frac{6+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]Since she bought it for $11.2, if we divide the cost by the amount that she purchased, we get the cost per pound, like this:
[tex]\frac{11.2}{\frac{7}{2}}[/tex]To divide by a fraction, we just have to invert its numerator and denominator:
[tex]\frac{11.2}{\frac{7}{2}}=11.2\times\frac{2}{7}=\frac{22.4}{7}=3.2[/tex]Then, the cost per pound equals $3.2

[tex]\begin{gathered} g(x)=-x^2+4x \\ 3g=3(-x^2+4x) \end{gathered}[/tex]Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by the two terms inside the parentheses:
[tex]3g=-3x^2+12x[/tex]Step 2. Once we have 3g, we subtract h(x) to it:
[tex]3g-h=-3x^2+12x-(-4x-1)[/tex]Here we have 3g and to that, we are subtracting h which in parentheses.
Simplifying the expression by again using the distributive property and multiply the - sign by the two terms inside the parentheses:
[tex]3g-h=-3x^2+12x+4x+1[/tex]Step 4. Combine like terms:
[tex]3g-h=-3x^2+16x+1[/tex]What we just found is (3g-h)(x):

The slope and y-intercept of the relation represented by the equation 12x-9y+12=0 are:
12x - 9y +12 =0
To find the slope and y intercept, we want to put the equation in slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Solve the equation for y
Add 9y to each side
12x - 9y+9y +12 =0+9y
12x+12 = 9y
Divide each side by 9
12x/9 +12/9 = 9y/9
4/3 x + 4/3 = y
Rewriting
y = 4/3x + 4/3
The slope is 4/3 and the y intercept is 4/3

Applying the definition of similar triangles, the measure of ∠DEF = 85°.
What are Similar Triangles?If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are all equal in measure to each other.
In the image given, since E and F are the midpoint of both sides of triangle BCD, then it follows that triangles BCD and EFD are similar triangles.
Therefore, ∠DBC ≅ ∠DEF
m∠DBC = m∠DEF
Substitute
4x + 53 = -6x + 133
4x + 6x = -53 + 133
10x = 80
10x/10 = 80/10 [division property of equality]
x = 8
Measure of ∠DEF = -6x + 133 = -6(8) + 133

can you please find the slope and the y intersept of the graph of the linear equation y= 4x-5
the slope of the linear equation is 4 and the y intercept is -5
Explantion:we apply the equation of line to find the slope and intercept
Equation of line is in the form: y = mx + c
where m = slope and c = y - intercept
comparing the given equation with the equation of line:
linear equation y= 4x-5
y = y
4x - 5 = mx + c
This means m = 4
4x = mx
m = 4
-5 = c
Hence, the slope of the linear equation is 4 and the y intercept is -5

We must find the equation that models the amount of medication in the bloodstream as a function of the days passed from the initial dose. The initial dose is a and we are going to use x for the number of days and M for the amount of mediaction in the bloodstream. We are going to model this using an exponential function which means that the variable x must be in the exponent of a power:
[tex]M(x)=a\cdot b^x[/tex]We are told that the half-life of the medication is 6 hours. This means that after 6 hours the amount of medication in the bloodstream is reduced to a half. If the initial dose was a then the amount after 6 hours has to be a/2. We are going to use this to find the parameter b but first we must convert 6 hours into days since our equation works with days.
Remember that a day is composed of 24 hours so 6 hours is equivalent to 6/24=1/4 day. This means that the amount of medication after 1/4 days is the half of the initial dose. In mathematical terms this means M(1/4)=M(0)/2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{M(0)}{2}=M(\frac{1}{4}) \\ \frac{a\cdot b^0}{2}=a\cdot b^{\frac{1}{4}} \\ \frac{a}{2}=a\cdot b^{\frac{1}{4}} \end{gathered}[/tex]We can divide both sides of this equation by a:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{a}{2}}{a}=\frac{a\cdot b^{\frac{1}{4}}}{a} \\ \frac{1}{2}=b^{\frac{1}{4}} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now let's raised both sides of this equation to 4:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{1}{2})^4=(b^{\frac{1}{4}})^4 \\ \frac{1}{2^4}=b^{\frac{1}{4}\cdot4} \\ b=\frac{1}{16} \end{gathered}[/tex]Which can also be written as:
[tex]b=16^{-1}[/tex]Then the equation that models how much medication will be in the bloodstream after x days is:
[tex]M(x)=a\cdot16^{-x}[/tex]Using this we must find how much medication will be in the bloodstream after 4 days for an initial dose of 500mg. This basically means that a=500mg, x=4 and we have to find M(4):
[tex]M(4)=500mg\cdot16^{-4}=0.00763mg[/tex]So after 4 days there are 0.00763 mg of medication in the bloodstream.
Now we have to indicate how much more medication will be if the initial dose is 750mg instead of 500mg. So we take a=750mg and x=4:
[tex]M(4)=750mg\cdot16^{-4}=0.01144mg[/tex]If we substract the first value we found from this one we obtained the required difference:
[tex]0.01144mg-0.00763mg=0.00381mg[/tex]So the answer to the third question is 0.00381mg.

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{(\sqrt 5)^2 - (\sqrt{3} + 1)^2}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{5 - 10 - 2\sqrt 3}[/tex]
So, we have
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{- 5 - 2\sqrt 3}[/tex]
Rationalize again
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{- 5 - 2\sqrt 3} \times \frac{- 5+2\sqrt 3}{- 5 +2\sqrt 3}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{(-5)^2 - (2\sqrt 3)^2}[/tex]
So, we have
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{25 -12}[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{13}[/tex]
Hence, the expression is [tex]\frac{(\sqrt 5 - \sqrt{3} + 1)(- 5+2\sqrt 3)}{13}[/tex]
