Answer:

  b. y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a matter of definition. There are perhaps a dozen useful forms of equations for a line. Each has its own name (and use). Here are some of them.

  • slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
  • point-slope form: y -y1 = m(x -x1)
  • two-point form: y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)(x -x1) +y1
  • intercept form: x/a +y/b = 1
  • standard form: ax +by = c
  • general form: ax +by +c = 0

Adding y1 to the point-slope form puts it in an alternate form that is useful for getting to slope-intercept form faster: y = m(x -x1) +y1. I use this when asked to write the equation of a line with given slope through a point, with the result in slope-intercept form.

between 1995 and 2006, the population of samburg, usa(in thousands) can be modeled by f(x) = 0.35x(squared) - 2.1x+15.8 where x=
Juli2301 [7.4K]
\bf f(x)=0.35x^2-2.1x+15.8\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=\textit{year since 1995}\\
f(x)=\textit{population amount}
\end{cases}

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.

the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :),   the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex

well   \bf \begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&0.35x^2&-2.1x&+15.8\\
&\quad \uparrow &\quad \uparrow&\uparrow \\
&\quad  a&\quad  b &c
\end{array}

Your teacher wants to encourage you to work harder. Which measure should your teacher use? Explain.
Paul [167]

Answer:

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. Ding  A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Ding  Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, ding

Ann is going on vacation. Ann dog food for a pet sitter to feed her dog Maggie while she's away she leaves 24 cans of wet food a
docker41 [41]
1/4x = 24 for cans
Multiply both sides by 4 (the multiplicative inverse of 1/4)
x = 96 days

3/4x = 38 for dry food
Multiply both sides by 4
3x = 152
x = 50.666667

So I would say Ann can be gone 50 days before Maggie runs out of food. I don’t think they would count the 2/3 of a day. She will run out of dry food before canned food.
