Please help me with this question I have no idea what it is talking about! :/ (File attached)

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) I think they want u write slope intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y2-y1)\(x2-x1)

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

is that the answer to letter a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and u sutitution number and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(11.6-7)\(62-31)

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

wait so it is asking for a number for the answer right? so the answer would be 0.148?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find slope, next write slope intercept from

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

how do u find that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what is L(G)?

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

i have no idea but im assuming that maybe it is life span(gestation)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve this for slope: (11.6-7)\(62-31)

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

i just solved that above?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, next step is write slope intercept from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-11.6=0.148(x-62) can u solve this?

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

y=0.148x+1.824 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=0.148x-9.176+11.6 y=0.148x+2.424

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is a)

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

ok ya i miss added! thanks! now lets move on to b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b) y=0.148x+2.424 plug x=35 than solve

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

oh ok thats easy what about c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c ) I have to think L is: Gestation day or Average life span years ?

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

the years i think

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

ok so the units of the L intercept the answer is 2.424??? and what is the meaning of the L intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, than L intercept is 2.424 line L intercept is mean the year occur

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

so for the 2nd question it is the average years it occurs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

or would it be the average life span?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either, years for average life span

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can say average span years

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

ok. d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d) slope is 0.148 , is mean the days

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

i dont get the 2nd part? it is asking for the meaning of the slope so is the answer gestation? if so what does gestation mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is 0.148x x is for the day u plug

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

and if is asking for the unit(s) then shouldnt there be more than one answer? and oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just one answer,is mean if they ask month u answer month,if they ask day u answer day

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

ok thanks! e?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e) mean of (38,8) is mean 38 days in years 8

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

so basically if it grows in 38 days then it will live for 8 years correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

ok thanks so much for ur help! if you dont mind could you help me with one more?: Two values of a linear function f(x) are f(4)=2 and f(-5)=-1. Find the equations of f(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know,not engh information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post your question, some one may able to answer,can u click on good answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

ok thanks!
