The new york knicks must win at least 3/7 of their remaining games to qualify for the nba playoffs. if they have 15 games left qnd they win 7 of them, they feel they will 7 of them, they feel they will be eligible to compete in the playoffs. are they correct? explain and justify your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to qualify for the NBA playoffs, the New York Knicks must win at least 3/7 of their remaining games. Number of games remaining to be played is 15.

3/7 × 15 = 6.43

Since it is above 6 and closest to 7,

It means that they must win at least 7 games in order to qualify for the playoffs.

So they were correct by thinking that if they won 7 games from 15, they will be eligible to compete in the playoffs.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
