The two lines are parallel because their slopes are equal. Dividing the first equation by 2 yields \( 3.5x + y = 7.5 \). Since this differs from the second equation, the lines are parallel and do not intersect.

The population doubles every 30 minutes, so it doubles twice per hour. After \( x \) hours, the population grows by a factor of \( 2^{2x} \).

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1.50 = 2.70 \).

Start by setting up the equation: \( 32,000 = 4,000(2)^{3r} \). Divide both sides by 4,000 to obtain \( 8 = (2)^{3r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 3r \). Therefore, \( r = 1 \).

Let the number of voters who voted in favor of the bill be w. According to the problem, 3 times as many voters voted against, so the number against is 3w. The report states that 18,000 more people voted against, so the equation is 3w = w + 18,000. Solving for w gives 9,000, and the number against is 3(9,000) = 27,000.

Using the slope \( \frac{1}{3} \) and point \( (-3, 5) \) in the point-slope formula, the resulting equation is \( y = \frac{1}{3}x + 6 \).

The two equations are actually multiples of each other. Dividing the second equation by 2 yields \( 3x + 5y = 25 \). Thus, both lines coincide, which means they intersect at infinitely many points.

To find \( a \), set \( f(x) = 0 \) and solve for \( x \): \( 5x - 15 = 0 Rightarrow x = 3 \). The x-intercept is \( (3, 0) \), so \( a = 3 \). The y-intercept \( b \) is found by setting \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = -15 \), so \( b = -15 \). Then \( a + b = 3 - 15 = -12 \).

Rewrite both equations in slope-intercept form. To have no solution, the slopes must be equal but the y-intercepts must differ. Solving, we find m = -6.

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 20}}{2} = 2 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(2 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

Since the decay factor is 0.70 annually, this translates to a 30% decrease per year, so \(q = 30\).

Using the points, calculate the slope and equation of the line, then substitute \(x = q + 5\) to find \(b = -55\).

Calculate percentages: Candidate L received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate M received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 7,500 people vote, Candidate L would receive \( 0.6 \times 7500 = 4500 \) votes, and Candidate M \( 0.4 \times 7500 = 3000 \) votes. The difference is \( 4500 - 3000 = 1500 \) votes.

The investment grows by 8% per month, so the monthly growth factor is 1.08. After \( x \) years, the equation is \( V = 10,000 \cdot 1.08^{12x} \).

Calculate the percentages: Candidate A received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate B received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 10,000 people vote, Candidate A is expected to receive \( 0.6 \times 10000 = 6000 \) votes, and Candidate B \( 0.4 \times 10000 = 4000 \) votes. The difference is \( 6000 - 4000 = 2000 \) votes.

To find the surface area, find the side length first. The volume of the cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 729 \), \( s = \sqrt[3]{729} = 9 \). The surface area formula is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(9)^2 = 486 \) square units.

The lines have different slopes, indicating that they will intersect at exactly one point.

The lines have the same slope but different intercepts, indicating that they are parallel and do not intersect.

The function \(h(x) = 0.8x\) represents a proportional decrease with respect to \(x\), where \(h(x)\) decreases as \(x\) increases. Therefore, 'Decreasing Linear' is the correct answer.

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(r x - 120) + 64 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)r^2 < 64[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]r[/latex] is 8.

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 2.10 = 3.78 \).

Congruent triangles have corresponding angles that are equal. Since \( L \) and \( O \) correspond, angle \( O \) must be 40°.

Testing each pair shows that only \( (4, 5) \) satisfies both equations.

For a quadratic equation, the minimum value occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( x = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \).

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{16}(x - 5)^2 + 2 \) occurs at \( (5, 2) \). This represents the minimum height of the roller coaster car. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 5 \) and \( k = 2 \), the minimum height is 2 feet above the ground.

With the slope \( \frac{7}{8} \) and point \( (4, -1) \), apply the point-slope formula to find the equation \( y = \frac{7}{8}x - \frac{23}{8} \).

Since the function decreases by 60%, it retains 40% of its value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for the decay is 0.40. Therefore, the correct equation is \( p(x) = 50(0.40)^x \).

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 8}}{2} = 5 \pm \sqrt{23}\). So, the solution can be written as \(5 + \sqrt{23}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 23.

Substitute \( s = 10 \) into the equation: \( 4p + 2(10) = 100 \Rightarrow 4p + 20 = 100 \Rightarrow 4p = 80 \Rightarrow p = 20 \).

The congruence of triangles implies that angle \( R \) is equal to angle \( L \), so the measure of angle \( R \) is 30°.

In the function h(x) = -2x + 20, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of water the gardener had before filling any watering cans. When x = 0, h(0) = 20, indicating that the gardener started with 20 liters of water.

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 200 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 200 to get \(P = \frac{w}{100}\).

(1,1) works since for the first equation, subbing in 1 gives us []

Substitute values from each answer choice into both equations. Only \( (5, 10) \) satisfies both equations.

For the system to have no solution, the lines must be parallel. This means their slopes must be equal. Rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form to compare slopes, leading to k = 5.

Using \( P = 40,000 \) and \( C = 5,000 \), set up the equation \( 40,000 = 5,000(2)^{5r} \). Dividing both sides by 5,000 gives \( 8 = (2)^{5r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 5r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{5} \).

Start by setting up the equation: \( 24,000 = 3,000(2)^{8r} \). Divide both sides by 3,000 to obtain \( 8 = (2)^{8r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides gives \( 3 = 8r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{8} \).

Expanding the right side results in \( 10a - 3 \), which is identical to the left side. Therefore, the equation holds for all values of a, implying infinitely many solutions.

To find the doubling time, set \( b(t) = 2 \cdot b(0) \) and solve for \( t \): \( 15,000 \cdot (1.06)^{t/100} = 30,000 \). Use logarithms to isolate \( t \) and convert to hours.

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 250(0.4)^0 \). Since \( (0.4)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 250 imes 1 = 250 \).

With the side lengths of square R being 12 times those of square S, the area of square R is \( 12^2 = 144 \) times the area of square S. Thus, \( k = 144 \).

The function \(q(x) = 1.3x\) represents a proportional increase, showing a steady, linear growth with respect to \(x\). Therefore, 'Increasing Linear' is correct.
