y = 3x - 3 is the equation of the linear function passing through (2, 3) and (5, 12)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the equation of linear function passing through (2, 3) and (5, 12)

The formula y = mx + b is said to be a linear function

Where "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y - intercept

Let us first find the slope of line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\text {Here } x_{1}=2 ; y_{1}=3 ; x_{2}=5 ; y_{2}=12

Substituting values we get,

m=\frac{12-3}{5-2}=\frac{9}{3}=3

Thus slope of line is m = 3

To find the y - intercept, substitute m = 3 and (x, y) = (2, 3) in y = mx + b

3 = 3(2) + b

3 = 6 + b

b = 3 - 6

b = -3

Thus the required equation of linear function is:

Substitute m = 3 and b = -3 in formula

y = mx + b

y = 3x - 3

Thus the equation of linear function is found

The ratio of coins to notes in a bag is 3 to 8. If there are a total of 24 coins then how many notes are there? 
BaLLatris [955]
Set up a proportion 
3 coins:8 notes and then the other one 24 coins : x (unknown notes)
they have a relationship so we can set them equal to each other.
3/8=24/x cross multiply: 8 * 24 = 192
Now divide that by 3: 192/3 = 64 
So there are 64 notes in the bag
