Answer:
point-slope form
(standard form)
Let me know if you prefer another form.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line can be found using
provided you are given two points on the line.
We are.
Now you can use that formula. But I really love to just line up the points vertically then subtract them vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.
(4/5 , 1/5)
-( 1/2 , 3/2)
-----------------
3/10 -13/10
2nd/1st =
is our slope.
So the following is point-slope form for a linear equaiton:
Plug in a point
.
This gives:
I'm going to distribute:

Now I don't like these fractions so I'm going to multiply both sides by the least common multiply of 2,3, and 6 which is 6:

Add 26x on both sides:

Add 9 on both sides:
This is actually standard form of a line.
It can be simplified though.
Divide both sides by 2:
(standard form)
The total amount of money is 75 dollars
There are 5 fifteens in 75
There are 6 dollars saved everytime he makes 15 dollars
6 x 5 = 30
He saved 30 dollars
The equation for a sequence is
an=a1+(n-1)d
Replace the variable with what you were given you get
37=-13+(n-1)5
Simplify
37=-13+5n-5
Combine like terms
37=5n-18
Reverse operations
55=5n
Simplify
n=11
X+2y=23
X=-2y +23
Plug this in for x in the second equation
5(-2y + 23) + 10y = 55
-10y + 115 + 10y = 55
The -10y + 10y cancel out, so there is no solution
Hope this helps!
