Let's start with y = 4x + b (since 4 is the slope);
We need to find what number should be put instead of b;
Then, let's see what needs to be done;
Plug in the y and x values from the coordinate (22,12) into y=4x+b;
12 = 4(22) + b
Solve;
12 = 88 + b
12 - 88 = b
b = -76
Remember the equation y = 4x + b? Put the -76 instead of b:
y = 4x + -76
or: y = 4x - 76
That is the equation.
To make it standard form, put x and y both in the left side, with x first then y:
-4x + y = -76
^^Answer!
If 21 out of 24 students did their homework, 3 out of 24 did not do it.
This written as a fraction is 3/24 and can be reduced to 1/8.
This in decimal form is 0.125 .
To convert the decimal to a percent, multiply by 100 and put a percent sign at the end of the number.
0.125 × 100 = 12.5
12.5%
So we start at -10. Because he descends 3 feet, We subtract 3, getting -13. He then rises 6 feet. -13 + 6 = -7. The diver is now at -7 feet.
