Find the point slope equation for (-2,-20) and (9,79)

1 answer:

3 0

Start by identifying your x1, x2, y1, and y2 values
x1: -2
x2: 9
y1: -20
y2: 79

The general form for writing a point slope equation is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
M is your slope.
To find the slope, plug the values you just identified into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1
This leaves you with 79+20/9+2
Which equals 9, so your slope (m) equals nine.
you can now plug everything into the general form which gives you:
y+20 = 9(x+2)

A line adds up to equal 180 degrees. And adjacent angles also add to equal 180 since they share a side on a line. So add them together and make them equal 180
9x - 7 + 8.5x + 4 = 180
17.5x - 3 = 180
17.5x = 183
x = 10.5

Compare and contrast the absolute value of a real number to that of a complex number.

sveticcg [70]

The absolute value of a real number is a positive value of the number. Which means that the absolute value is the distance from zero of the number line. However, that of the complex numbers is the distance from the origin to the point in a complex plane.

Answer:

Part A: What is the rate of change and initial value of the function represented by the graph, and what do they represent in this scenario?

First, calculate the rate of change (Slope, once it is a linear function):

I will take the points: $(0, 100)$ and $(1, 80)$

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \frac{100-80}{0-1}=-20$

Let's understand the graph!

This linear graph is about songs being downloaded in a period of 5 weeks.

In the beginning, we have 100 songs to be downloaded. As the weeks past, the number of songs remaining decreases, that's why the graph's slope is negative. In week 5, all songs were downloaded.

The initial value (100) represents the number of songs.

Part B: Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the relationship between x and y.

The Slope-intercept form of linear equations is $y=mx+b$
