Question

Two equations are shown:

Equation A
y = −3x − 2

Equation B
y equals 3 over x plus 5

Which statement best compares the graphs of the two equations?

Both are nonlinear.
Both are linear.
Equation A is nonlinear and equation B is linear.
Equation A is linear and equation B is nonlinear.

Answer 1

@LegendarySadist

Answer 2

I think it is both are linear

Answer 3

Is Equation B \[y=\frac{ 3 }{ x }+5\]or\[y=\frac{ 3 }{ x+5 }\]?

Answer 4

the first one

Answer 5

but I think equation B the line curves a bit

Answer 6

@iambatman

Answer 7

Well here's what it looks like on a graph

Answer 8

What it looks like, very roughly.

Answer 9

equation b

Answer 10

Yeah, that's Equation B

Answer 11

oh so then only equation A is linear

Answer 12

did you see the kittens on the screen or was that just me

Answer 13

Mateaus posted it and then deleted it, I suppose

Answer 14

And yeah, A would be linear but B obviously wouldn't

Answer 15

can you help me with another question

Answer 16

Sure, what is it?

Answer 17

is this a negative or positive association

Answer 18

As the bottom numbers increase, the left numbers decrease, so a negative association. Source: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~jutts/8/Lecture5Compact.pdf

Answer 19

using this can you help me figure out wether the basketball team has a higher average height or if there similiar

Answer 20

I got an error when I clicked the link

Answer 21

I think its there similiar but I'm not sure

Answer 22

The basketball team is centered further to the right of the graph, so they are going to have a higher average as well.

Answer 23

hhhmmmm....

Answer 24

Are we supposed to find the exact difference in the averages?

Answer 25

I'm not sure the exact question says based on visual inspection

Answer 26

Ok, so just by looking at the graph we can tell that the basketball players are generally taller.

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

There is an 80% chance of rain tomorrow and a 20% chance the football game will be postponed. What is the probability that it will rain tomorrow and the football game will be postponed?

4%
16%
20%
60%

Answer 29

for this one I thought 60%

Answer 30

80%=4/5
20%=1/5
\[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }*\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 4 }{ 25 }=.16\]

Answer 31

your suppose to multiply them oh

Answer 32

Every week William collects a few pounds of plastic bags to recycle. The graph below shows the total number of pounds of plastic bags (y) that William collected in a certain amount of time (x), in weeks:

What would most likely be the total amount of plastic, in pounds, William would collect in 10 weeks?

Answer 33

340 pounds
400 pounds
440 pounds
540 pounds

Answer 34

I think it be 400 pounds

Answer 35

40+(n*40) and make n whatever number is the weeks

Answer 36

or 440 pounds

Answer 37

the unit rate is 40

Answer 38

n is the week number in my little formula

Answer 39

so 40+(10*40) so the answer would be 440

Answer 40

Yep, that would be it

Answer 41

Two functions, A and B, are described as follows:

Function A
y = 8x + 3

Function B
The slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 4.

How much more is the slope of function A than the slope of function B?

1
7
8
9

Answer 42

for this one I got 7 but now I'm doubting myself

Answer 43

Well since 8-1=7, yeah I'd go with 7

Answer 44

thank you so much I wish I could give you like 5 medals

Answer 45

Just hit me up with a testimonial if you found my help useful :)
