I believe the slope is 2

We can use the points in either order and you will still get the same slope. I usually solve in order that is given. So the first coordinates I label (x1,y1) and the second is (x2,y2).

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(9-5)/(3-1)=4/2=2

Slope is 2.

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept,(4,3) and (0,1)

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

y=1/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First use slope formula.

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Plug in the information needed.

$\frac{1-3}{0-4}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Now, use point-slope formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plug in the information needed.

y-3=1/2(x-4)

y-3=1/2x-2

y=1/2x+1

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=1/2x+1.

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.

Macy is painting a design that contains two repeating patterns. One pattern repeats every 8 inches. The other repeats every 12 i

spayn [35]

Answer:

8-inch pattern is fully printed 28 times.

12-inch pattern is fully printed 19 times.

Patterns start at the same place 9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 19 feet is 228 inches.

2. 8-inch pattern is fully printed 28 times.

3. 12-inch pattern is fully printed 19 times.

4. 8-inch patterns starts at`0,8,16,24,32,40,48...

5. 12-inch pattern starts at 0,12,24,48...

6. As you see they start at the same place after 24 inches.

7. 228/24=9.5, => They start at the same place 9 times.

Assume we cut the last piece of the pie into two sections (1 and 2) along ray BD

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

If we want the greatest portion of pie, then you must choose the section with the greatest angle. Therefore, we must choose Section 2. But if we want the smallest portion of pie, then we must choose Section 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement, we know that measure of the angle ABC is equal to the sum of measures of angles ABD (section 1) and DBC (section 2), that is to say:

$m \angle ABC = m\angle ABD + m\angle DBC$ (1)
