Linear functions have to have the same slope between any 2 points
find the slope betwen them
slope betwen 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y1-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(1,12) and (3,9)
slope=(9-12)/(3-1)=-3/2
if we wanted to chek furthere, we check (3,9) and (5,6) and fnd that the slope is also -3/2
so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=-3/2x+b
find b
if x=1 then y=12
12=-3/2+b
add 3/2 both sides
12+3/2=b
13+1/2=b
26/2+1/2=b
27/2=b
y=-3/2x+27/2
try them
we have 2 x values
7 and 3
input them and see their outputs
for x=7
y=-3/2(7)+27/2
y=-21/2+27/2
y=6/2
y=3
(7,3) is a valid point
for x=3
hold a second, we already have a x=3
it is (3,9)
none of them
answer is (7,3)
100$ because the income you have to earn is 400$, right? If so then 100 * 4 give you 400.
115 degrees as 70+40=115 and that is equal to ?
First integer = x
Second integer = x + 2
Third integer = x + 4
Since four times the first integer equals six more than the product of two and the third integer.
4x = 6 + 2(x + 4)
4x = 6 + 2x + 8
2x = 14
x = 7.
Hence,
First integer = x = 7
Second integer = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Third integer = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11.
hope this helps
