Answer:

y = (-1/7)x + (24/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

You have been given the value of the slope (m = -1/7). You have also been given values for "x" and "y" from the point (3,3). Therefore, you can substitute these values in for their variables and simplify to find the value of the y-intercept.

y = mx + b <----- Slope-intercept form

y = (-1/7)x + b <----- Plug -1/7 into "m"

3 = (-1/7)(3) + b <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from point (3,3)

3 = -3/7 + b <----- Multiply -1/7 and 3

24/7 = b <----- Add 3/7 to both sides

Now that you know that m = -1/7 and b = 24/7, you can determine the formula satisfying the given information.

y = (-1/7)x + (24/7)

What is the quadratic. Formula?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$x = \frac{ - b ± \sqrt{ {b }^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, we'll use this quadratic equation.

${x}^{2} + 5x + 6$

To understand how to plug it into the formula we need to know what each term represents.

$a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

So the equation above would be put into the formula like this.

$x = \frac{ - 5± \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(6) } }{2(1)}$

Then we would solve

$\frac{ - 5± \sqrt{25 - 24} }{2} \\ \\ = \frac{ -5±1}{2}$

Now, the equation will branch off into one that solves when addition and one when subtraction.

$\frac{ - 5 + 1}{2} = \frac{ - 4}{2} = - 2 \\ \\ \frac{ - 5 - 1}{2} = \frac{ - 6}{2} = - 3$

So x={-3, -2} (-3 and -2)

0.3x=15<br> Identify the slope and y-intercept.

masha68 [24]

Steps to solve:

0.3x = 15

~Divide 0.3 to both sides

0.3x/0.3 = 15/0.3

~Simplify

x = 50

This is a vertical line so the slope is undefined.

The line passes through the point (50, 0) and there is no y-intercept since its a straight vertical line.

Best of Luck!
