Answer:

$y = -\frac14x + 8.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A linear function is written in the form of $y = mx + b$ , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Each of these expressions can be converted to coordinate form, (-2,9) and (6,7).

<h2>Slope</h2>

Slope can be calculated by the difference in the x-values divided by the difference in the y-values.

Solve

$\frac{9 - 6}{-2 - 6}$
$\frac{2}{-8}$
$-\frac14$

The slope is -1/4.

<h2 /><h2>Y-intercept</h2>

The y-intercept is found by plugging in the x and y values of a coordinate and the slope and then solving for b.

Solve

$y = mx + b$
$9 = -\frac14(-2) + b$
$9 = 0.5 + b$
$8.5 = b$

<h2>Equation</h2>

We can find the equation by simply plugging in all the values that we found.

Equation: $y = -\frac14x + 8.5$

Quick algebra 1 question for some points!

Kazeer [188]

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{4}{ - 3} = \frac{8}{ - 6} = \frac{12}{ - 9} \\ this \: relation \: holds \: so \: y \: varies \\ directly \: with \: x$

$\frac{ 4}{3} m = \frac{8}{ - 6} \\ m = \frac{ \frac{ - 8}{6} }{ \frac{3}{ - 4} } = \frac{8 \times 4}{6 \times 3} = \frac{32}{18} = 2 \\ multipling \: by \: 2$

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{ - 40}{ - 0.5} = \frac{8}{2.5} = \frac{5}{4} \\ \frac{y}{x} = 80 = 3.2 = 1.25 \\ this \: is \: untrue \: so \: y \: is \: not \\ varying \: directly \: with \: x$

$no \: constant \: of \: variation$

<h2>4)</h2><h2> $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{21}{3} = \frac{31.5}{4.5} = \frac{38.5}{5.5 \\ } \\ \frac{y}{x} = 7 = 7 = 7 \\ y \: varies \: directl y\: with \: x \\ consant \: of \: var = \frac{y}{x} = 7$ </h2><h2>5)</h2>

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{30}{6} = \frac{35}{7} = \frac{96}{8} \\ \frac{y}{x} = 5 = 5 = 12 \\ y \: does \: not \: vary \: directly \: with \: x$

Find the 38th term of the sequence. 359, 352, 345

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

each term is being subtracted by 7

knowing that if we multiply 7 by 38 then we will find how much to subtract 359 by , which is 266, to find the 38th term

that's my way of finding the solution

A three digit number is formed at random using the digits

kramer

Answer:

2/3, or 66.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 options for the first digit (3 or 4).

After the first digit is selected, it cannot be repeated, so there are 2 options left for the second digit.

After the first two digits are selected, there is only 1 option for the third digit.

So there are 4 permutations greater than 300.

The total number of permutations is 3! = 6.

So the probability is 4/6 = 2/3.
