The guess-and-test strategy may be made easier by using the choices.
A. 38 sixth graders   ----> 57 - 38 = 19 . There are 19 seventh graders. This option already satisfy the condition that the number of sixth graders should be twice that of the seventh graders. There is no need to test for the remaining choices. The answer is letter A.

Consider the line shown on the graph. Enter the
Semenov [28]

<h2>Solution -</h2>

From the graph, we concluded that line passes through the points (0, 3) and (1, 4) respectively.

So, slope of the line (m) passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is

m = d - b/ c - a

<h3>So, on substituting the values, we get </h3>

m = 4 - 3 / 1 - 0 = 1/1 = 1

Also, line makes an intercept of 3 units in positive direction of y - axis.

So, c = 3

<h3>So, Equation of line is given by</h3>

y = mx + c

y = 1 × x + 3

<h3>y = x + 3</h3>

<h3>Alternative Method :-</h3>

We know, Equation of line passing through the points (a,b) and (c, d) is given by

y - b = d - b / c - a (x - a)

<h3>Here,</h3>

a = 0

b = 3

c = 1

d = 4

<h3>So, on substituting these values in above result, we get :-</h3>

y - 3 = 4 - 3 /1 - 0 ( x - 0 )

y - 3 = 1/1 ( x - 0 )

y - 3 = x

<h3>y = x + 3</h3>

<h3>Different forms of equations of a straight line :-</h3>

1. Equations of horizontal and vertical lines

Equation of line parallel to x - axis passes through the point (a, b) is y = b.

Equation of line parallel to y - axis passes through the point (a, b) is x = a.

<h3>2. Point-slope form equation of line</h3>

Equation of line passing through the point (a, b) having slope m isy - b = m(x - a)

<h3>3. Slope-intercept form equation of line</h3>

Equation of line which makes an intercept of c units on y axis and having slope m is y = mx + c.

<h3>4. Intercept Form of Line</h3>

Equation of line which makes an intercept of a and b units on x - axis and y axis respectively is x/a + y/b = 1.

<h3>5. Normal form of Line</h3>

Equation of line which is at a distance of p units from the origin and perpendicular makes an angle B with the positive X-axis is x cosB + y sinB = p.

Which is the equation of Line B?
notka56 [123]
  • Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
  • Slope Formula: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

So firstly, to find the slope of this equation, plug the two points, (1,1) and (-3,2), into the slope formula and solve as such:

\frac{1-2}{1-(-3)}=-\frac{1}{4}

Next, plug either one of the points into the x and y coordinates to solve for b as such:

2=-\frac{1}{4}*-3+b\\2=\frac{3}{4}+b\\\frac{5}{4}=b

<u>Our final equation is y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{5}{4} , or the third option.</u>

A cheetah's speed was timed over a set distance. The cheetah was clocked running 60 miles per hour. Which equation is the relati
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

D. y=70x

Step-by-step explanation:

The cheetah was clocked running 70 miles per hour.

i.e. in 1 hour cheetah covered 70 miles

in 2 hours cheetah covered 140 miles

in 3 hours cheetah covered 210 miles

in general, in n hour cheetah covered 70n miles

If y denote the distance covered

and x denotes the time cheetah runs

Then, y=70x

Hence, the equation which shows the relationship between the distance, y, and time, x, the cheetah runs is:

D  y=70x
