First you want to find the slope. Pick any two points. (150,200) and (300,100) x2-x1/y2-y1
300-150=150
100-200=-100
150/-100= -1.5
Y=mx+b. M is the slope b is the y intercept
Y=-1.5x+300
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = 4, slope intercept form is y = 2x + 11
Discussion:
A vertical line goes straight up and down. The only thing "fixed" about it is its x value. Hence a vertical line has an equation like "x = ?". As your line passes through (4, -3), with x value 4. its equation is x = 4.
The slope intercept form of a line is " y = mx + b" where m is the slope of the line and b is its y intercept. We are told the desired line is parallel to y = 2x -1 which means both lines have the same slope (which is 2, boldfaced, above). So, we know the slope intercept form is
y = 2x + b
but we are also told the line passes through (-3,5). Substituting these values in the above equation gives
y = 2x + b
5 = 2 (-3) + b
5 = -6 + b
b = 5 + 6 = 11
The final slope intercept form is y = 2x + 11

The answer would be that janey would have to go to bed at 9:40pm
Round 24 to 20 and then 36 to 40 add 20 plus 40 and u get 60
