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)

Write an equation for the proportional relationship. Can you compare these two tables?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Y=1.88x

Step-by-step explanation:

x1=2 x2=3, y1=3.76 y2=5.64

(2, 3.76) (3, 5.64)

m(slope) =5.64-3.76/3-2

m=1.88

y-3.76=1.88(x-2)

y-3.76=1.88x-3.76

Y=1.88x
