First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

<span>y = mx+b

</span>First, let's find what <span>m:
m =   1-(-3) / 2-(-1)
m = 4/3
</span>
so: y = 4/3x + b

Now, what about b, or the y-intercept?

<span>To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:
<span><span>(-1,-3).
When x of the line is -1, y of the line must be -3.
</span><span>(2,1).
When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 1.
</span></span>
Now, look at our line's equation so far: <span>y=4/3x+b</span>. 

You can plug either (x,y) point you want into the x and y variables..the answer will be the same:
<span><span>(-1,-3)
 -3=4/3 × -1+b,
b=-3-(4/3)(-1)
b=-5/3
</span><span>
(2,1)
1=4/3 × 2+b
b=1-(4/3)(2).
b=-5/3.
</span></span>In both cases we got the same value for b.
</span>
So we have y = 4/3x -(5/3).

In standard form it would be:
(4/3)x - y = (5/3)

the grade 8 has hired a disk jockey the disk jockey takes 85$ plus 2 for each student that attends. The disk jockey was paid 197
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

56 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for your question is 85+2x=197. First you would have to subtract 85, on both sides, leaving you with 2x=112. Then, you'd have to divide by 2 on both sides to isolate the variable. From there, you're left with x=56.

For safety reasons, the manufacturer of a ladder recommends that it be used in such a way that the base of the ladder is no fart
professor190 [17]
See attached picture for better understanding of the problem. In the problem, the given values are the following:
hypotenuse = length of the ladder
adjacent = base of the ladder to base of the wall
Solving the angle x, we have the solution as below: 
cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos x = 91 / 350
x = 74.93°

The answer is 74.93°.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer: It’s D) 9x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x+2)+2(3x+2)

you do distributive property

3x+2+6x+4

then combine like terms

= 9x+6

Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomials are given as follows:

1. P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

2. P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

3. P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

<h3>What is the Factor Theorem?</h3>

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Item a:

The parameters are:

a = 1, x_1 = x_2 = 1, x_3 = x_4 = 0, x_5 = -4

Hence the equation is:

P(x) = (x - 1)²x²(x + 4)

P(x) = (x² - 2x + 1)(x + 4)x²

P(x) = (x³ + 2x² - 7x + 1)x²

P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

Item b:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 4, x_3 = 0, x_4 = -4

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 4)²x(x + 4)

P(x) = a(x² - 16)x(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x³ - 16x)(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

It passes through the point x = 5, P(x) = 36, hence:

45a = 36.

a = 4/5

a = 0.8

Hence:

P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

Item 3:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 3, x_3 = -2

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 3)²(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x² - 6x + 9)(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

For the y-intercept, x = 0, y = -1.8, hence:

18a = -1.8 -> a = -0.1

Thus the function is:

P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)
