The fuel efficiency of passenger cars has increased significantly since the 1970s. A linear model of this situation is given below, where x represents the number of years after 1970, and y represents the average miles per gallon. Interpret the slope.


A. For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 gallons per mile.

B. For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 13 gallons per mile.

C. For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

D. For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 13 miles per gallon.

Answers

Answer 1

its C not A because

For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is C. For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear model of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In this situation, 0.29 is the slope.

The slope is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

In context, the slope indicates an increase of 0.29 miles per gallon per year after 1970.

Therefore, the slope means that for each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

Divide 185 by 609.


Add 239 to 609, then divide by 609.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer is C,

since to find the relative frequency, you divide the specific frequency

(in this case people over 30 who prefer ocean swimming, 185 people)

by the # of values total

(all values recorded, which in this case is the 609 peoples' surveys)

so, divide 185 by 609, which is C

How can you determine the type of the triangle based on the lengths of the sides in a triangle?

Answers

Answer:

You can determine the type of triangle using the following facts related to the converse of the pythag theorem

if a^2 + b^2 > c^2, then it is an obtuse triangle

if a^2+b^2<c^2, then it is an acute triangle

finally, if a^2+b^2=c^2, then it is a right triangle

NOTE THAT C ALWAYS EQUALS THE LONGEST LENGTH OF THE TRIANGLE!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

HELP KEY FOR SLOPE RIGHT HERE!

Using the Slope Equation:

Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.

Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise).

Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run).

Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).

How do you calculate rise over run?

Multiply the slope by the run to calculate the rise between subsequent points. In the example, if you wanted to know the rise given a run of 10, multiply 10 times 0.6 to calculate a rise of 6. Divide the rise by the slope to calculate the run.

What does a slope of mean?

The slope of a line is the steepness of the line. There are many ways to think about slope. Slope is the rise over the run, the change in 'y' over the change in 'x', or the gradient of a line.

How do I find slope?!

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .

Anyway,

The area of a circle is pi*r^2. Additionally, the radius is half the diameter.

The first pizza(s) have diameter 12, which means they have radius 6. The area of one is 6*6*pi=36pi, and since there are two we multiply by 2 to get 72pi.

The second pizza has diameter 18, so radius 9. The area of it is 9*9*pi=81pi.

Clearly 72pi is less than 81pi, so the Large Pizza is biggest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question given, we will follow the steps below;

[tex]\frac{10}{x}[/tex] = 2

multiply x to both-side of the equation

[tex]\frac{10}{x}[/tex] × x= 2× x

at the left-hand side of the equation, x will cancel-out x, leaving us with 10

10 = 2x

divide both-side of the equation by 2

10/2 = 2x/2

at the right-hand side of the equation, 2 at the numerator will cancel-out 2 at the denominator leaving us with just x, while on the left-hand side of the equation, 10 will be divided by 2

Is (–5, 0) a solution to the equation y = 7x − 5?

Answers

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

to see, plug in -5 for x and find your y outcome.

y = 7(-5) -5

y = -35 - 5

y = -40

since y does not equal 0, (-5,0) is not a solution for the equation.

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 7x − 5?

Substitute the point into the equation

0 = 7(-5) -5

0 = -35-5

0 = -40

This is not true so (-5,0) is not a solution
