Brad has recorded insect activity data for 40 days. He has recorded 1/6 of the data needed for his science fair project. How many total days does he need to record data? Write an equation and explain how you used it to find your answer.

240 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where x represents the total number of days

Use the information that 40 days is 1/6 of the total:

40 = 1/6x

Now, solve for x:

40 = 1/6x

Multiply both sides by 6, since it is the reciprocal of 1/6

40 = 1/6x

240 = x

So, the total number of days he has to record data is 240 days.

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

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
