Awildlife conservancy maintains a ratio of 2 squirrels for every 8 birds how many birds would there be if there were 15 squirrels

Total number of birds are 60

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

A wildlife conservancy maintains a ratio of 2 squirrels for every 8 birds

It means that

2 squirrels = 8 birds

now, we can find number of bird for 1 squirrels

1 squirrel is

birds

birds

now, we can find for 15 squirrels

we can multiply both sides by 15

15 squirrels is

birds

birds

So,

Total number of birds are 60

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
