first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept
the algebraic approach would work like this:
-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b
plug in what you got, here: the intersection information
-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b
-16 + 10 = 1 + b
-6 = 1 + b
-7 = b
Answer:
There are 108 inches in 9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, two unit multipliers mean we have to convert through two units before we arrive at our final answer so we can convert from feet to yards to inches!
We know that 3 feet equal a yard, right?
So we can divide 9 by 3 to get the amount that 9 feet translates to in yards.
So we are now done with our first conversion! Our second is going to be from yards to inches!
There are 36 inches in 1 yard so we should multiply 3 by 36 to get the amount in inches!
