Algebra.Com's Answer #469342 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To graph this, you would plot the points (2,3) and (4,6). Then you would draw a line through those two points. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How did I get those points? I plugged in x = 2 and got y = 3. Then I plugged in x = 4 and got y = 6\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ex: y = 1.5x ---> y = 1.5*2 ---> y = 3, so that shows us that (2,3) is on the line.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To answer the second part, plug in A = 100 and solve for t\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A = 1.5t\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100 = 1.5t\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100/1.5 = t\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 100/1.5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 66.667\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So it will take roughly 66.667 days \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
