Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = mx + b

slope(m) = 3/4

(3,7)...x = 3 and y = 7

now we sub...we r looking for b, the y int

7 = 3/4(3) + b

7 = 9/4 + b

7 - 9/4 = b

28/4 - 9/4 = b

19/4 = b

equation is : y = 3/4x + 19/4...lets put this in standard form

y = 3/4x + 19/4

-3/4x + y = 19/4...multiply by -4

3x - 4y = -19 <== standard form

if (x,5) is on the line

3x - 4y = -19.....sub in 5 for y

3x - 4(5) = -19

3x - 20 = -19

3x = -19 + 20

3x = 1

x = 1/3 <====so point a = (1/3,5)

HELP I NEED THIS DONE QUICKK CAN ANNYONE HELP???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

For the first question, it would be D: $\frac{1}{3}$ ÷ 9. This is because to solve a division problem with fractions, you would need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For the second question, the answer would be D: 32. This can be solved by dividing 8 by $\frac{1}{4}$ or 0.25. For the third question, it would be D. $\frac{1}{12}$ . This can be solved by dividing $\frac{1}{4}$ by 3. For the fourth question, the answer would be $\frac{1}{12}$ . This can be found by flipping the 4, which would make it look like $\frac{1}{4}$ , and multiplying it by $\frac{1}{3}$ . For the last question, 1 would be B, 2 would be C, 3 would be C, and 4 would be A.

Hope this helps ^-^

How to find instantaneous rate of change algebraically?

frosja888 [35]

You use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) so if you have two points (ex: (1,2) and (2,4)), plug in those number into the formula
(4-2)/(2-1) = 2/1 = 2 so the slope (or instantaneous rate of change) is 2 for those two points<span />
