The slope-intercept form: y= mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (6, 2) and (5, 5). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{5-2}{5-6}=\dfrac{3}{-1}=-3

Therefore we have y = -3x + b.

Put the coordinates of the point (5, 5) to the equation:

5 = -3(5) + b

5 = -15 + b     <em>add 15 to both sides</em>

20 = b

<h3>Answer: y = -3x + 20</h3>

Answer:

y = -3x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Slope

The <em>point-slope formula</em> for a straight line is

y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁)     Insert the points  

2 - 5 = m(6 - 5)

    -3 = m×1

    m = -3

=====

(b) y-intercept

y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁)

y₂ - 5 = -3(x₂ - 5)     Remove parentheses

y₂ - 5 = -3x₂ - 15       Add 5 to each side

      y = -3x + 20

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 21 ft wide and 34 ft long. She wants to leave
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Dimensions of the rug = 13 ft × 26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the room = 21 ft × 34 ft

Area of the room = 21 × 34 = 714 ft²

Cynthia wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug.

Let the width of the rug = x ft

Then the dimensions of the rug will be = (21- 2x)ft × (34 - 2x)ft

Area of the rug = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x) square feet

338 = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x)

338 = 714 - 68x - 42x + 4x²

4x² - 110x + 714 - 338 = 0

4x² - 110x + 376 = 0

2x² - 55x + 188 = 0

2x² - 47x - 8x + 188 = 0

x(2x - 47) - 8(x - 47) = 0  

(x - 4)(2x - 47) = 0

x = 4, \frac{47}{2}

For x = 23.5 area of the rug will be negative.

Therefore, x = 4 ft will be the width of the rug.

Dimensions of the rug will be 13 ft × 26 ft.
