Y=-3/2x+4
The slope is -3/2, since Kerry traveled three feet and only went down 2.
The y intercept is 4, since she started four feet above the origin
Probably the subsitution method
y=1/2x
subsitute that fr y
2x+3(1/2x)=28
2x+3/2x=28
times 2 both sides
4x+3x=56
7x=56
divide by 7 both sides
x=8
sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(8)
y=4
(x,y)
(8,4)
Last choice the area becomes 25 times greater
First find the slope, take derivative of both sides with respect to x.
2y dy/dx=3x^2+6x
solve for dy/dx
dy/dx=[3x^2+6x]/2y
plug in given vales of (1,2(
dy/dx=9/4
now you have everything you need to plug into point slope form
y-2=(9/4)(x-1)
answer is y=(9/4)x+(1/4)
