Mathematics

First we calculate the slope (which is called "m".

Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)

m = (-8 -1) / (5 -2) = -9 / 3 = -3

We next fill in this equation: b = y -mx

We know m = -3 and we can choose a point (2, 1) to calculate "b"

b = 1 --3 * 2 b = 7

Putting this into y = mx +b

y = -3x +7

Answer:

The consecutive even numbers are 28, 30, 32, 34

Step-by-step explanation:

let the four consecutive even numbers be: b d f h,

such that:

b=b, d=b+2, f=b+4, h=b+6.

Therefore, 2(b+b+2)=3(b+6)+14

b=28,

d=(b+2)=30

f=(b+4)=32

h=(b+6)=34

Three pounds of fertilizer covers 900 feet.How many pound of fertilizer will cover 2,100 feet?
sveticcg [70]
To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:

3/900 = x/2100

In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.

The first step is to cross multiply like this:

3 * 2100 = 900 * x

Now you can simply the equation.

6300 = 900x

Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.

7 = x

So, your answer is 7 pounds.
