Answer:
a = - 3 and b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Simplify 
=
=
×
= 3
Thus expression can be written as

Multiply numerator/denominator by 
noting that
×
= 2
= 
= 
Dividing each term on the numerator by 2
= 4
- 3
= - 3 + 4
with a = - 3 and b = 4
18 - (-f) = 91
Subtracting a negative value changes to addition:
18 + f = 91
Subtract 18 from both sides:
F = 73
Answer:
$2.67
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide to find unit rate
8/3 = 2.666667
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
