The average weight of a mosquito is approximately 9 × 10 ¯ 5 ounces.
based on this estimate, which number could be the weight of a mosquito, in ounces?
question 4 options:

0.88

0.88

88,000

880,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The average weight of a mosquito is approximately

so

Verify each case

Convert each number in scientific notation to compare

case A) we have

This number could be the weight of a mosquito, in ounces

case B) we have

This number could not be the weight of a mosquito, in ounces, it is very small

case C) we have

This number could not be the weight of a mosquito, in ounces, it's too big

case D) we have

This number could not be the weight of a mosquito, in ounces, it's too big

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
