I dentist the slope and a point on the line

Anika [276]1 year ago

Answer:

2/3 (0,-3) is one possible answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

y  -1 = 2/3(x-6)  We want to get this into the slope intercept form of a line.  We want it to be in the form y = mx + b.  Let's clear the fraction first by multiplying the whole equation through by 3.

3(y - 1) = 3[2/3(x - 6)]

3y -3 = 2(x -6)

3y - 3 = 2x -12

3y = 2x - 9  Now divide all the way through by 3 to get

y = 2/3x - 3  

y = mx + b.  The m part is the slope.  In this equation the slope is 2/3

There are in infinite amount of points on a line.  I do not know if they give you a picture or if you are just to create your own.  I am going to create a point that have x = 0.  I get to pick the point.  I could pick any number.  0 is just usually really easy.  So, if I substitute 0 for x I will get:

y = 2/3(0) - 3

y = 1  so my point is (0,-3)

Now that I think about it, I do not think that I would start out clearing the fraction even though it works.  I think that I would do it like this"

y - 1 = 2/3(x - 6)  Distribute the 2/3 through (x - 4) to get

y-1 = 2/3x -4  I can make -6 a fraction by putting it over 1.  Now we have 2/3(-6/1)  multiply across to get  -12/3.  A positive times a negative is a negative.  -12 divided by 3 is -4.

y - 1 = 2/3x -4   now add 1 to both sides.

y = 2/3x -3

MissTica

Answer:

21 containers

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dividing 8kg by 3/8kg

\frac{8}{\frac{3}{8} }=8*\frac{8}{3}=\frac{64}{3} =21.33

Since the largest whole number in the result is 21, this means the Mrs Lee can fill 21 containfers fully with 3/8kg of rice

Ahat [919]

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

First use a proportion to find the answer:

40/100=60/x

Now we solve for x

60*100=6,000

6,000 divided by 40= 150

x=150

Therefore the answer is $150
