Answer:

The answer is 4n + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

N is the number of days that pass by. Each day Sam gets 4 more, meaning you would multiply the number of days by 4, before adding that number to the original number of pennies, which was 16.

so, just change C to +3, thus C/B is 3/1

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4\sqrt{13}}{3}\ \vee\ y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{4\sqrt{13}}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

We have

$m=\dfrac{2}{3}$

substitute:

$y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+b$

The formula of a distance between a point and a line:

General form of a line:

$Ax+By+C=0$

Point:

$(x_0,\ y_0)$

Distance:

$d=\dfrac{|Ax_0+By_0+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+b^2}}$

Convert the equation:

$y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+b$ |<em>subtract $y$ from both sides</em>

$\dfrac{2}{3}x-y+b=0$ |<em>multiply both sides by 3</em>

$2x-3y+3b=0\to A=2,\ B=-3,\ C=3b$

Coordinates of the point:

$(0,\ 0)\to x_0=0,\ y_0=0$

substitute:

$d=4$

$4=\dfrac{|2\cdot0+(-3)\cdot0+3b|}{\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2}}\\\\4=\dfrac{|3b|}{\sqrt{4+9}}$

$4=\dfrac{|3b|}{\sqrt{13}}\qquad|$ |<em>multiply both sides by $\sqrt{13}$ </em>

$4\sqrt{13}=|3b|\iff3b=-4\sqrt{13}\ \vee\ 3b=4\sqrt{13}$ |<em>divide both sides by 3</em>

$b=-\dfrac{4\sqrt{13}}{3}\ \vee\ b=\dfrac{4\sqrt{13}}{3}$

Finally:

$y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4\sqrt{13}}{3}\ \vee\ y=\dfrac{4\sqrt{13}}{3}$
