Well, in order to first determine the slope or y-intercept, you must put change the equation to this format: y=mx+b.
m=slope and b=y-interceptI
in order to do that, you must change this equation.
x+3y=9
-x -x
----------
3y=9-x
Then, rewrite it as:
3y=-x+9
_______
3 3
simplify to
y=-x/3 +9
Answer:
The vertex is at (-2,-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
You go left 2, and down 8, and then it's a scale of 1
In order to find the second endpoint or a line segment given the first and the midpoint, you need to realize that the midpoint is an average of the two endpoints. Given that fact, we can derive this formula looking at x values of points A and B with midpoint M. Remember this is only looking at the x values.
(A + B)/2 = M
So if we are looking for A, we can solve for A and use this modified formula.
(A + B)/2 = M
A + B = 2M
A = 2M - B
Now we can do this with the y values of these points as well. We then have the coordinates of both parts of A.
We have the following table:
545-534.2 = 10.8
545-556.4 = -11.4
545-554.0 = -9
545-535.3 = 9.7
write them as a positive and negative rational numbers
positive:
9.7 = 9 7/10
10.8 = 10 4/5
negative:
-11.4 = -11 2/5
-9 = -9
the differences from least to greatest
-11 2/5
-9
9 7/10
10 4/5
