Answer:
Either x = 3, y = 2
or
(3,2) is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +y = 8 (1)
y = - x+ 5 (2)
Put equation (2) into equation (1). Use the y value in (2) to go into the y value in (1).
2x - x+5 = 8 Combine the x values
x + 5 = 8 Subtract 5 from both sides
x + 5-5 = 8-5
x=3
Now go back to (2). Put x in for the value of -x. Watch the sign.
y = -3+ 5
y = 2
So the answer is (3,2)
614.40 because 204.80 divided by 4 is 51.20 and 51.20 multiplied by 12 is 614.40
Y=.5x+6
I believe this is right sorry if it’s not.
1. m
2. One set of ordered pairs
3. b
To show why this is, I’m going to explain how to write the equation for a linear function with two random sets of ordered pairs - (1,0) and (5, 8).
First, find the slope. The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two sets of points.
This is why #1 is m. M is the letter used when finding slope.
To find m, I plug in the two sets of ordered pairs.
m = (8-0)/(5-1)
m = 8/4
m = 2
An equation for a line (linear function) is written in something called slope-intercept form. It looks like y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (number y equals when x = 0). If m = 3 and b = 1, the equation would be y = 3x + 1.
Here, you have just solved for m and know it equals 2. Plug that value in for m.
y = 2x + b
To solve for b, plug one ordered pair in for x and y. I will use (1,0)
0 = 2(1) + b
0 = 2 + b
-2 = b
Now that you know b = -2, plug that in for b.
y = 2x - 2. Now you have the equation fo the line.
crosses x-axis at (2, 0 ) and y-axis at (0, - 4 )
To find where the graph crosses the x and y axes ( intercepts )
• let x = 0, in the equation for y- intercept
• let y = 0, in the equation for x- intercept
x = 0 : y = 0 - 4 = - 4 ⇒ (0, - 4 )
y = 0 : 2x - 4 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2 ⇒ (2, 0 )
