A group of scientists studied the effect of a chemical on various strains of bacteria. Strain A started with 12000 cells and decreased at a constant rate of
4000 cells per hour after the chemical was applied. Strain B started with 6000 cells
and decreased at a constant rate of 3000 cells per hour after the chemical was
applied. When will the strains have the same number of cells?

is only a line? i think so

25 questions , because they start with 100.  

350-100=250 .  

. 250/10=25

step-by-step explanation:

first take off 100, then what x 10 = 250? that is your answer. (25)

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
