The function that relates weight in grams of a crystal (w) to the temperature t in degrees Fahrenheit in which it was grown is as follows (fictitious):
W(t) = 0.8t + 12 Find w(-6).
a. impossible to tell from info given
b. less than 8 grams
c. at least 8 grams but less than 10 grams
d. at least 10 grams but less than 12 grams
e. at least 12 grams

Substitute -6 for t in the weight equation
grams.
So the weight is less than 8 grams.
Answer: b

What is the equation that contains these two points? A(-3, 8) and B(4, -2)
a. impossible to tell from info given or NONE of the following
b. y = -1.4286 + 3.7143x
c. y = 1.4286x + 3.7143
d. y = -1.4286x + 3.7143
e. y = 1.4286 - 3.7143x
First find the slope:
If there is another arbitrary point (x, y) on the line, with A(-3, 8), the slope can be written as
