<span>Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:</span>

<span>
</span>

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.

Both are correct. Using either form will result in the same equation. The slope-intercept form uses slope and a point to find the y-intercept. Point-slope form uses the slope and a point to solve for y to generate the equation.

In quadrilateral ABDC, AB ∥ CD. Which additional piece of information is needed to determine that ABDC is a parallelogram?
N76 [4]
Since the definition of a parallelogram literally says that it's a quadrilateral with 2 parallel sides, we have AB || CD so the 2 other sides (AC and BD) need to be either similar or parallel (either works, due to that if they're similar we can prove that since AB || CD that they're parallel). B is our answer

Gary's contract says he must work at least 20 hours per week. Gary is paid $15.50 per hour. Gary is also paid $50 per week. Gary
Rasek [7]

Answer: Gary needs to work more than 25hours for the week to earn above $400.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Gary to be paid $50 per week means he worked $50/ $15.50= 3.23 hours for the week.

To make over $400 this week he needs to work for

400/15.50 = 25.81 hours and more for the week to earn above $400

Roma sherry drove 80 miles from her home town to her​ parents' town. during her return​ trip, she was able to increase her speed
mr_godi [17]
<span>Answer: Roma Sherry drove 330 miles from her hometown to Tucson. During her return trip, she was able to increase her speed by 11 mph. If her return trip took 1 hour less time, find her original speed and her speed returning home. : Let s = original speed then (s+11) = return speed : Write a time equation: Time = distance%2Fspeed : Original time = return time + 1 hr 330%2Fs = 330%2F%28%28s%2B11%29%29 + 1 : Multiply equation by s(s+11) and you have: 330(s+11) = 330s + s(s+11) : 330s + 3630 = 330s + s^2 + 11s : 0 = 330s - 330s + s^2 + 11s - 3630 : A quadratic equation: s^2 + 11s - 3630 = 0 Factor this to: (s + 66)(s - 55) = 0 Positive solution s = 55 mph is original speed. : Find the time 330/55 = 6 hr, original time and 330/66 = 5 hrs, faster time; confirms our solution.</span>

Can y’all also explain the steps
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

B. is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply both sides by "x" and you get

12x - 4 = 3x

now add 4 to both sides and you get

12x = 3x + 4

now subtract "3x" from both sides and you get

9x = 4

divide both sides by 9 and you get

x = 4/9
