Consider the function f(x) = mx + b, where m > 0.

If the value of b decreases, but the value of m remains the same, what will happen to the x-intercept?

The blue whale is the largest animal living on the earth. the average blue whale measures 100 feet long (30 meters) and weighs 300,000 pounds (136,000 kilograms). a whale’s head is 1⁄3 of the length of its body. a new baby whale is 1⁄4 the length of a grown whale. the average man is 1⁄17 the length of a blue whale, and 1⁄1,818 its weight. a human baby measures 1⁄4 of the length of an adult. calculate the following information: how long is a whale’s head? how long is a new baby whale? how tall is the average man? how much does the average man weigh? how tall is the average human baby?

Follow these steps using the algebra tiles to solve the equation −5x + (−2) = −2x + 4. 1. add 5 positive x-tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 2. add 4 negative unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 3. divide the unit tiles evenly among the x-tiles. x =

1. a parachutist is 800 feet above the ground when she opens her parachute. she then falls at a constant rate of 5 feet per second. select the equation that represents this situation. h = -800t + 5 y = -5x + 800 h = 5t - 800 y = 800x + 5 i need
