Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y part of an intercept where x is 0. So the equation for slope (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) with y1 and y2 the y values of 2 points and x1 and x2 those points' x values, so if you would use the points (-2,0) and (0,5) (I used intercepts because they are easier, but you can use any points on the line) you would get (0-5)/(-2-0) and then 5/2 for the slope. plugging in then you get y=5/2*x+5
Answer:
Equation: 3x - 11 = 85
Solution: x = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 11 = 85
You will have to do the opposite to the equation shown on the screen.
3x = 96 (85 + 11)
x = 32 (96 / 3)
Answer:
36+9=45+5%=47.25
Step-by-step explanation:
You can write two equations using the given information:
.. L = W +8
.. L * W = 609
Using substitution, you get a quadratic.
.. (W +8) * W = 609
.. W^2 +8W -609 = 0
Not surprisingly, you're looking for factors of 609 that differ by 8.
.. 609 = 1*609 = 3*203 = 7*87 = 21*29
The last two are the factors of interest.
.. (W +29)(W -21) = 0
The width of the rectangle is 21 feet, the length is 29 feet.
_____
Sometimes it is easier to work with the average dimension. Here, let that be x. Then you have
.. (x +4)(x -4) = 609
.. x^2 -16 = 609
.. x^2 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . . . . one of your memorized math facts
So, the dimensions are
.. 25 +4 = 29 by 25 -4 = 21, that is, 29 ft by 21 ft.
The correct answer is y=x+4.
