An environmental agency studying the effects of drought on a lake found that the water level decreased at a constant rate during the first few months of the drought. When the agency began its research, the depth of the lake was 346 feet. The table represents the agency’s susequent observations about the lake's depth.

Which equation represents the depth of the lake, y, based on the number of weeks passed, x?

y = -0.6x + 346

y = -1.2x + 346

y = -0.6x

y = -1.2x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: (0,346)(2,344.8)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (344.8 - 346) / (2 - 0)
slope(m) = -1.2/2 = - 0.6

y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 0.6
(0,346)...x = 0 and y = 346
now we sub
346 = - 0.6(0) = b
346 = b

ur equation is : y = - 0.6x + 346

Jill's mom made 4 pies for dessert for the week. Jill wants to bring a slice of pie to school everyday for the next 10 days. If she wants to eat the same amount of pie every day, how much pie should she bring for lunch each day?

Answers

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill wants to eat the same amount of pie every day so we need to divide the amount of pie by the amount of time. This gives us 4/10 which simplifies to 2/5. She should bring 2/5 a pie each day.
