Answer:

y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the line shown in your question.

We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y at the y intercept

As we are given the graph of the line, we can pick any 2 points to help us find the equation; in this case, let's take (0,3) and (-1, -1).

First, we need to find the slope of the line

The slope (m) can be found using the equation \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

Let's label the values of the points to avoid confusion and mistakes before calculating.

x_1= 0\\y_1=3\\x_2=-1\\y_2=-1

Now substitute these values into the equation for the slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-1-3}{-1-0}

Subtract

m=\frac{-4}{-1}

Divide

m = 4

The slope of the line is 4

Here is the equation of the line so far:

y = 4x + b

Now we need to find b

As stated above, b is the value of y at the y intercept; the y intercept is the point where the line intersects with the y axis. The value of x at this point is 0

One of the points we used to calculate the slope was actually the y intercept point; this point is (0, 3). The value of y at this point is 3, so the value of b is 3

Substitute 3 as b in our equation

y = 4x + 3

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth
EleoNora [17]
Check the picture below.

so... you can pretty much see how long RS and QT are, you can just count the units off the grid.

now, let's find QR's length

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&Q&(~ 8 &,& 8~) 
%  (c,d)
&R&(~ 14 &,& 16~)
\end{array}~~ 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
QR=\sqrt{(14-8)^2+(16-8)^2}\implies QR=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}
\\\\\\
QR=\sqrt{36+64}\implies QR=\sqrt{100}\implies QR=10

and let's also find the length for ST

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&S&(~ 20 &,& 16~) 
%  (c,d)
&T&(~ 22 &,& 8~)
\end{array}~ 
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{(22-20)^2+(8-16)^2}\implies ST=\sqrt{2^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{4+64}\implies ST=\sqrt{68}\implies ST=\sqrt{4\cdot 17}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 17}\implies ST=2\sqrt{17}

so, add the lengths of all sides, and that's the perimeter of the trapezoid.
