1. A hummingbird weighed w ounces. One day the hummingbird drank 8 times its weight in water and ate half its weight in food. Which equation can be used to find t, the

combined weight of the water and the food, In ounces, that the hummingbird had on this

day?

O

t - W + 8

2

O

t-w + 8 +

NI

O

t =8w+

2

w

t2w+

8

CLEAR ALL

t = 8w + w/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Weight of bird = w

Amount of water consumed = 8*w = 8w

Amount of food ate = 0.5*w = 1/2w

Hence, the combined weight of water and food (t) consumed by the humming bird :

t = amount of water consumed + amount of food ate

t = 8w + w/2

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
