To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form given two points, we must arrange the points this way to find the slope (m):

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

We can replace the variables in this equation with the values from the points we have been given, (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14). We know that the x-values always come first in an ordered pair, so we can put those in our equation first.
It doesn't really matter which x-value goes in which x-value slot in the equation as long as you match up the y-values in the same fashion. But for the sake of convenience, we will call the 2 in the second ordered pair x_{2} and the \frac{-1}{2} in the first ordered pair x_{1}.
Now, we can match these values in our equation, and while we're at it, we can substitute the appropriate y-values into their places as well.

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m =  \frac{14 -  \frac{-7}{2} }{2 -  \frac{-1}{2} }

Now, we can see that we are subtracting negatives in this equation. Remember that whenever you subtract a negative, it is the same as adding a positive. So, this equation could be rewritten as

m =  \frac{14 +  \frac{7}{2} }{2 +  \frac{1}{2} }

and we can change the improper fraction in the numerator into a mixed number for ease of addition.

m =  \frac{14 + 3 \frac{1}{2} }{2+ \frac{1}{2} }

And here, we can add, since it's made simple for us.

m =  \frac{17  \frac{1}{2} }{2  \frac{1}{2} }

Finally, to get the slope we can complete the fraction by dividing.

17.5 ÷ 2.5 = 7

The slope of this equation, m, is 7, and so far, our equation looks like this:

y = 7m + b

Now, to find y-intercept.

To do this, we simply have to substitute one of the ordered pairs in for the appropriate x- and y-values and solve. To make it easier on ourselves, we can use (2, 14) so we don't have to deal with negative numbers or fractions.

y = 7x + b

Let us substitute in our values.

14=7(2)+b

Now, we can solve by multiplying the 7 and 2.

14=14+b

Here, we can subtract 14 from both sides, since it is added to both in the equation, and we are left with

0 = b

which can be flipped around to show

b=0

The y-intercept of this line is 0.

Now, we can make this known in our equation like this:

y=7x+0

Or, for neatness' sake, we can just say

y=7x

which is your final equation.

The line through (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form is <span>y=7x.
Hope that helped! =) </span>

There are four movies showing at the theater, 2/5 of the people bought tickets for the comedy, 1/4 bought tickets for the horror
RUDIKE [14]

Given:

Number of people bought tickets for comedy = \frac{2}{5}

Number of people bought tickets for horror = \frac{1}{4}

Number of people bought tickets for kids movie = \frac{3}{10}

To find the number of people who bought tickets for the action movie.

Let us take,

Total number of tickets = 1

Now,

Total number of tickets for comedy, horror and kids movie are = (\frac{2}{5} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{10} )

So,

(\frac{2}{5} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{10} )

LCM of 5,4,10 = 20

= \frac{8+5+6}{20}

= \frac{19}{20}

Rest are action movie's tickets.

Therefore,

Number of action movie tickets = 1-\frac{19}{20}

= \frac{20-19}{20}

= \frac{1}{20}

Hence,

The number of people who bought the tickets for action movie is \frac{1}{20}.

Is this correct? I used the 90/360 x 2 π (90)
slavikrds [6]

The circumference is found by multiplying the radius by pi by 2

And then the arc length would be multiplied by the fraction of the circle..

So using what you wrote is correct, but the answer you got is incorrect.

2x 3.14 x 90 = 565.2 meters

565.2 x 90/360 = 141.3 meters
