I believe that the equations answer is around 1170. The answer to the equation is 1172
Answer:
42 is the smallest of the 4 numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 4 consecutive integers that total 174 are 42,43,44, and 45. Therefore, 42 is the smallest out of all 4 integers.
First create the equation y=Mx+ B
B is the y intercept so when y = 0, B = -1.
Now we have y=Mx - 1
The slope is M. We can calculate this by using the formula M = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)
Use the points (0, -1) and (2,3) for these values. So y2 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 2, x1 = 0
Plug them into the equation and solve
M = (3 + 1) / (2 - 0)
M = 4/2 = 2
Now we have the equation y = 2x - 1
Next to figure out if the points given are on the line you take the values and plug them into your equation like so: 4 = 2(-2) - 1
2(-2) - 1 does not equal 4 so this point does not fall on this line. Follow this same procedure for the next point given.
Standard form is ax + by = c. Begin our transformation by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction. Notice that ax + by = c does not allow for fractions. Doing that multiplication gives us 2y=-x + 3. Now move the x over by the y by addition. x + 2y = 3. And there you go!
