What is the slop intercept form of a line that passes threw (4,-4) and (8, -10)

Mathematics

BigorU [14]3 years ago

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes, so we can find the slope:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 4, -4)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 8, -10)\\m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-10 - (- 4)} {8-4} = \frac {-10+ 4} {4} = \frac {-6} {4} = - \frac {3} {2}

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {3} {2} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

-4 = - \frac {3} {2} (4) + b\\-4 = - \frac {12} {2} + b\\-4 + 6 = b\\b = 2

Finally, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {3} {2} +2

ANswer:

y = - \frac {3} {2} +2

Best Deal 1
scoray [572]

Answer:

C) 18 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

This weeks deal -

Quantity of Flour      Price ($)         Price per pound ($)

3 pounds                    5.25                 (5.25/3) =  1.75

5 pounds                    9.75                 (9.75/3) =   1.95

7 pounds                    12.60                (12.60/3) = 1.80

10 pounds                  14.20                 (14.20/3) = 1.42

12 pounds                  18.24                 (18.24/3) = 1.52

The lowest price per pound is $1.42. Therefore, this is the current week's best deal.

The last week's best deal was = $`1.60/pound

The difference between the unit price for previous week's best deal and this week's best deal = $1.60 - $1.42 = $0.18

Therefore, 18 cents.
