So for this you start by figuring out all the numbers that add up to equal 12.
(0,12)(1,11)(2,10)(3,9)(4,8)(5,7)(6,6)
Then you put them into the equation 3l+2s=33 l=the larger number and s=the smaller number
To save space I'm only going to do the numbers that are the answers.
(3,9) 3(9)+2(3)=33
27+6=33
33=33

Find the equation of the line that passes through the following two points: (3, -7) and (7, 2)

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)

(3, -7) = (x1, y1)

(7, 2) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

$\frac{2-(-7)}{7-3}$

Simplify:

2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9

7 - 3 = 4

$\frac{9}{4}$

The slope is $\frac{9}{4}$ .

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:

$2=\frac{9}{4}(7)+b$

$2=\frac{63}{4}+b$

$-\frac{55}{4} =b$

The y-intercept is $-\frac{55}{4}$ .

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

$y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}$
