Answer:

y = -1/6 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an equation of a line you need slope (m) and y-intercept (b) or where the graph grosses the y- axis. since you are given two points (6, 10) and (4, -2). Slope when given two points is (y - y) / (x - x)

so (-2 - 10) / (6 - 4) = 6 / - 1 =- 6

use the equation y = mx + b and substitute either point (6, 10) or (4, -2) as a replacement for x and y respectively. (I chose (6, 10) because they are positive numbers. Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 and m = -6 into y = mx + b

10 = -6(6) + b

10 = -36 + b

b = 46 (add -36 to both sides)

so our equation: y = -6x + 46 :-)

Answer:

y = 6x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(-2 - 10) / (4 - 6) = -12 / -2 = 6

basic equation: y = 6x + b

2. plug in (x,y) value using one set of coordinates.

10 = 6(6) + b

10 = 36 + b

b = 10 - 36

b = -26

3. plug b in to find full equation.

y = 6x -26

Find the distance between the two points.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Hey there!

Distance formula:

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})+(y_{2}-y_{1}) }$

Plug in variables:

d = $\sqrt{(0-(-6))+(0-(-7))}$

Simplify.

d = $\sqrt{6+7}$

d = $\sqrt{13}$

The distance between the two points is $\sqrt{13}$ units.

Hope this helps!

Consider the given function and the given interval. f$x$ = (x - 7)**2 text(, ) [5 text(, ) 11] (a) Find the average value fave

Jet001 [13]

a. $f$ has an average value on [5, 11] of

$f_{\rm ave}=\displaystyle\frac1{11-5}\int_5^{11}(x-7)^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{(x-7)^3}{18}\bigg|_5^{11}=\frac{4^3-(-2)^3}{18}=4$

b. The mean value theorem guarantees the existence of $c\in(5,11)$ such that $f(c)=f_{\rm ave}$ . This happens for

$(c-7)^2=4\implies c-7=\pm2\implies c=9\text{ or }c=5$

The commission for selling a house is$11825, which is 5.5% of the selling price. What is the selling price of the house?

Rzqust [24]

In this case, the best method starts with finding one percent of the selling price. To do this, divide the commission ($11825) by 5.5. This gets you 1%, which is $2150. Next, multiply this number by 100, turning 1% into 100%. Your final answer is $215,000.
