Slope of a line passing through two given points
= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
For m=3, and substituting coordinates,
3=(1-y)/(4-1)
solve for y
1-y=3*3=9
y=1-9=-8
Answer: y=-8
Independent is hour
Dependent is her rate ($18) because it DEPENDS on how long she works
The answer is 9x+8. if you distripute the 2, you get 2x-6. if you distribute the 7, you get 7x+14. then you combine like terms ans get 9x+8
a+2 a +1
= ------- / ------------------
a -5 (a - 3)(a - 5)
a+2 (a - 3)(a - 5)
= ------- * ------------------
a -5 a +1
(a+2)(a - 3)
= ----------------
a +1
a NOT equal 5 and -1
