Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-2,3) and (-4,-2).Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Given:

The two points are (-2,3) and (-4,-2).

To find:

The gradient of the line segment between the given points.

Solution:

The gradient is also known as slope.

The slope formula:

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

The endpoints of the line segment are (-2,3) and (-4,-2). So, the gradient of the line is

m=(-2-3)/(-4-(-2))

m=(-5)/(-4+2)

m=(-5)/(-2)

m=(5)/(2)

Therefore, the gradient of the given line segment is m=(5)/(2).

A fishery is an area with the specific purpose of controlling fish populationsfor commercial or recreational fishing. Population dynamics describe how afish population changs over time. The population is changed by birth, death,and migration of fish. While the supply of fish (population growth) can bemodeled with a linear equation, so can the demand of fish (the amount caught).In one commercial venture, fishermen recorded their daily catch in an oceanfishery. Using their data, the demand model for the total number y of fish caughtfor x days is y = 349x + 50. What is the meaning of the slope?

Which of the following is the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,4) and is parallel to the x-axis?A. x = 4
B. y = 4
C. y = 1
D. x = 1

Answers

A line parallel to the x-axis is y = constant

In this case, to pass through (1,4), y = 4.

Then the answer is option B.

What two positive real numbers whose product is 50 have the smallest possible sum?

Answers

x * y = 50
y = 50 / x
S = x + y = x + 50 / x
S` = 1 - 50 / x²
1 - 50 / x² = 0
50 / x² = 1
x² = 50
x = √ 50 = 5 √2
y = 50 / 5√2 = 5 √2
Answer:
Those numbers are: x = 5√2 and y = 5√2.

Tim has developed a money saving strategy that uses the formula S=450+100r.a. Give a possible interpretation of Tim's strategy.

b. What do the slope and S-intercept of the graph of the relation represent, base on the interpretation from part a.?

c. If Tim plans to stop his savings once he has accumulated $1250, what are the domain and range of this relation.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Tim has developed a money saving strategy that uses the formula S=450+100r.

a) 450 will be savings always and for every r an additional 100 would be saved

b) Slope = 100 represents the increase of S for a unit increase of 1.

S intercept = 450 is the savings even when r=0

c) Since max savings is 1250 and min is 450

Range = (450,1250)

For 450 range, domain r =0 and for range 1250, domain r = 8

Domain =(0,8)

 A) For 100R, that might mean every week, he is putting 100 dollars away for an interpretation.
B) The Slope represents the time it takes to make 100 dollars, and S represents the total amount of money Tim has.
C) If Tim got to 1250 dollars, it would be 8 for R. So 8 would be the domain and 1250 for the range.
